The also have a daily hour long "radio show", which is actually a paid advertisement, on numerous radio stations and can be heard in podcast format as well.  

As they grow (they start with 6 people, but the office can accommodate 20 calling stations):1.

As for the articles and posts on BP, that has been what I've been focusing on (mostly on the podcast since it's a more interactive way to learn & also I have a very long commute every day about an hour and a half to one from work).Depending on what duty stations are available when it's time for me to pick orders, will determine if I will leave the military or not after this study station.

Not to freak anyone out, but I think some borders for states might kind of close and or perhaps days a way from temp domestic airport closures, trains stations, bus stations.
