I know some previous discussion about this ocurred on the Philmont talk page regarding a Philmont Training Center (PTC) article. I went ahead and created a stub about it since I was tired of looking at all of the red links for PTC and I think it needs to be made. I think we should see how it develops as a seperate page.

Some of this text needs to go into Philmont Training Center. I have put the text here, as it would be useful to anyone going to Philmont PTC. feedback?Telecine Guy 18:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
