Lodging update for anyone bringing a car to training (and interested in using Hilton points)... Booked 10 nights (going home between two 5-day training blocks) at a Hampton Inn halfway between KATL and Peachtree City for 80,000 Hilton points (8,000 points/night). 11 miles from the airport, so not ideal, but definitely doable considering the Hilton properties in/around Virginia Ave. were going for 20,000+ points (or $100+) per night.

Thus far, it looks like the best rate on Virginia Ave. is Holiday Inn at $65/night.
