Training
At least six students were enrolled in the Academy's 16-week combat course at any given time. Students train in one of the Academy's four Chameleons, all in rather shoddy condition, with Vanderholf directing all fees towards himself rather than back into the school.[1]
Notes
Local news papers periodically ran exposes on Werner Mechwarrior Academy and rewards against the con man's head from families grieving from their loss of a son or a daughter who trained there are not unheard of.[1]
