[nagdu] Drop-offs

[Marty Rahn]

Hello everyone,
What AnnaLisa says is true about Leader.  When I went in June of last year 
to get Monty, we were dropped off in pairs to find our way back to the 
downtown training center toward the end of the last week of class.  They 
drop you off in an area where you've previously worked, so you have some 
familiarity with where you are.
