    i live in Pennsylvania, and Baltimore is supposedly the closest site to me; but i'm well aware that Baltimore is notorious for a high crime rate; and with past experiences most time when there's high crime rate or drug activity; it usually reflects on an organization, especially if its in proximity of the crime; in other words i don't want to make an effort to go to Baltimore to be trained by individuals with the "i'm a thug" mentality, i'm planning to move to Oregon in February, and i already feel much safer mentally if i were to train there instead, hence my indecision.

    Go over to the west coast and train.There's no crime and definitely no "thugs" on the left coast.I'm sure Swift puts there training facilities where there is a major need for them.How does that reflect badly on an organization?Under Armour is headquartered in Baltimore.Bad Organization?I could go down a list of places that have facilities in and around Baltimore are they all bad companies.So if you head west and they send you to LA to train are you going to worry about that?Worry more on the fact of you're going to train with SWIFT than where you're training at.
