SGT Braverman—
Thanks for the follow-up note. As indicated previously and by the Marine Attaché, we will not be able to sign the proposed agreement. I cannot sign to commit the US Government to the document for funding and other obligations. As previously indicated, this would require the US Department of State authority for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to begin formal government to government discussion which could result in a PME exchange agreement or similar arrangement.
We are working on the tuition payment requirements.
Best,
MGC

Good morning sir,
Hope this email finds you well.
I would like to follow up with you about the MOU and the tuition fees.
Are there any status updates?

Col Cooper - please find attached the formal invitation I believe we sent out a while back.
I sent the MoU to LtCol Meadows last week and attached it again here for you to see.
Would you be able to tell me approximately when the MOU will be signed?
Additionally, is there any update on the previous years' tuition fees?
All the best,

Sgt--copy all. Please use both email addresses. The preference, however,
is my .edu address.
Related point is that we received a draft MOU. I've coordinated with our
Attaché and indicated that additional work would be required before we could
get such an agreement signed. It relates to legal matters and committing US
Government funds. I am pursuing additional coordination on this at
Headquarter, Marine Corps.
In that regard, was there a formal invitation to attend the course for this
coming academic year? Normally those go to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(Chairman). They may or may not make their way down to MCU. If you can dig
up a copy, that would be appreciated. As always, we appreciate the
opportunity to join with the NDC each year.
Sincerely,
MGC

Col Cooper -
Hope all is well.
Regarding the payment for this year's students - I just received word from
the Navy that they will be taking care of their students' tuition fees. I
understood from our previous exchange that you intended to take care of the
fees for all corps via the USMWC. I'll forward the relevant invoices to to
our POC in the Navy.
Additionally, I seem to have two email addresses belonging to you. Do you
have a preference as to which one to use?

Col Cooper,
Please find attached the invoices for the students of this upcoming class of
the INDC.
The IMOD has instructed us that we can only accept participants after we
received confirmation that their respective militaries have paid. Therefore
we will appreciate it if you will be able to take care of this matter by
July 7th, 2020.
Additionaly, is there an update regarding past years' payments? Is there any
way we can help with that?
