3. (U) The Marine Corps Warfighting Lab wishes to thank all the applicants for taking the time to put packages together.  We truly wish we had more seats to fill and regret we could not accommodate more participants.  We were impressed by creativity; from the one-page short stories, to the masters theses, to the published novels that were submitted.  Seventy-two fine examples of the type of creative thought that makes the Marine Corps and the Services great.  We have had overwhelming, positive response and support for this effort, and we will likely hold similar workshops in the future.
4. (U) Workshop details, to include DTS funding information, will be sent via email to the selectees.
5. (U) This workshop is closed to the public and closed to media.  Media inquiries should be directed to MCWL public affairs at 703-432-0980 or kyle.olson1.ctr@usmc.mil.
