Peace Corps Staging-Boring, not worth reading

Peace Corps staging is done at an idiot level, which plays to my audience. Basically I sit in a Miami hotel confernce room and they tell you about Peace Corps, you learn about your group, and go over Peace Corps policies. My dad talked to some guy who said that staging was intended to weed out the people who are not right for Peace Corps; I think that is a load of hoey, the 8 months of paperwork is what weeds people out. We have 16 in our training group with about half in municipal service development (like me) and the other half in rural economic development.
