I'll take this opportunity to once again BUMP the program called 'Portable Reduced Oxygen Training Enclosure (PROTE)'.

It seems to take a long time to get the word out as I mentioned in this thread back in 2009 with my own previous experiences with the ROBD, but it was brought to my attention again in last month's copy of the 'FAA Safety' magazine. The article gives contact information for requesting the PORTE make an appearance at your location. Contact Rogers V. Shaw at 405-954-4837

In the same article, the Night IMaging Training Environment (NITE) Lab is mentioned. For those in the military - this seems to be the standard NVG Lab that we all had to attend on a periodic basis. POC for scheduling is J.R. Brown at 405-954-4837.
