On the South Carlina Emergency Management Division Training and Events Calender, for the date of June 17, 2015(the date of the shooting) we read

and
“Southern Exposure Dress Rehearsal”
No further info on what these things are, or if they had some connection with the church massacre.

“SC National Guard ROC(Rehearsal of Concept) drill (Charleston)”
Paperwork training, I think> Similar:
KILLEEN, Texas - Members of the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Support Operations section hosted a Rehearsal of Concept (ROC) Drill on Global Combat Support System-Army procedures with fellow Fort Hood logisticians Oct. 17 at the Fort Hood Mission Command Training Center.
The goal of the ROC Drill was to provide familiarization for the detailed procedures and training requirements of "G-Army," as personnel already introduced to the system nicknamed it.
"The purpose of this is to fill a gap that we perceived in our training," said Col. John McCoy, the support operations officer of the 13th SC(E).
"There is a lot of fielding training that goes on at the operator level, and at the supervisor level. We saw that some of the higher level managers would not get that same level of training, yet they would still be responsible for operations of units when they go through the Wave One conversion. This ROC Drill provides an overview of the maintenance, finance, SASMO-Sustainment Automation Support Management Office, and supply aspects of Wave One conversion that are going to affect select Fort Hood units. Higher-level managers otherwise may not learn of G-Army conversion challenges until after the conversion happens," McCoy said.
The first 13 ROC Drill vignettes walked the more than 100 participants through how orders are processed in the new, and soon to be fielded at Fort Hood, GCSS-Army system when an item is on hand or not on hand at the Supply Support Activity (SSA).
Organizers also illustrated how the future equivalent of an "026" maintenance report will be generated and read once G-Army has been implemented at Fort Hood.
The new system once fully implemented across our Army will not only include automated supply orders and maintenance management, but it will also "integrate approximately 40,000 local supply and logistics databases into a single, enterprise-wide authoritative system," as the GCSS-Army webpage states.
The new procedures are similar, yet different with G-Army, said Maj. Alicia R. Dease, the logistics automation officer for 13th SC(E), an FA 53 signal officer.
"With the old system, you request it, you get the money. With the new system, you get the money, and then you request it," Dease explained.
With G-Army comes a new vocabulary also. What you referred to as "ORILs" (Overaged Repairable Items List) in the past, are now simply called "Repairables" in G-Army, said Dease. Both McCoy and Dease agreed that having legacy systems and the G-Army system run concurrently will pose challenges.
Lessons learned from Fort Bliss, Texas, where some units are already fully up and running on G-Army, showed that during major field training exercises, operators must be closely connected to funds mangers, otherwise the unit may not have the necessary funds behind the orders they place.
Additional training challenges arise when converted units go to the National Training Center in California, for example, they may have to sign for and start using the legacy systems again.
Soon, soldiers newly graduating from Advanced Individual Training may only know the new system but they may get assigned to a unit still using the legacy systems.
According to McCoy, the next big step at Fort Hood is called New Equipment Training (NET). It is designed to be the training for warehouse, finance, and material managers.
During this training, soldiers are provided specific training on the new G-Army equipment and software.
"NET is followed by a 'brownout period' where we slow down the systems, we align the financial and supply systems, and then a 'blackout period' which is a time when last minute adjustments to codes within the new systems are made. We aim to go live with G-Army Wave 1 Conversion in mid-November," McCoy said.

May it be so.
Rush said “who wears a bowl haircut these days?”. LOL!
i guess SC dometic terrorists do.
He’s got the same blank stare of other mass murderers, like that kid who shot up the Sandy Hook school or that one who shot up the Colorado movie theater during Batman.
“There is a pattern developing with these kinds of killers - having to do with young males, drugs, parents and godlessness.”
Isn’t it strange that gun control zealots don’t check the stats on who a murderer most often is?
— atheists. I’m double minded about amending the Constitution to take away their gun rights.
— hard core drug users. If they are repeat offenders, there’s another amendment to consider.
— young men outside of the military. Very tempting, at least until there’s a resurgence of morality.
If I had a name like that, I’d bee pissed, too.
Killed himself a mockingbird when he was only three.
Where is the actual hard evidence pointing to the suspect’s guilt?
—Have any of the living witnesses come forward to identify Roof as the gunman they saw in the church? No.
—Can the slugs and shell casings found in the church be linked back to the gun seized from Roof via ballistics evidence? Haven’t seen it.
—Did they recover gunshot residue (GSR) on Roof’’s hands or clothing? Haven’t seen it.
—Were his fingerprints found on the gun/mags/ammo? Haven’t seen it.
—Did the suspect confess? CNN claims he did, based on two anonymous LE sources. Yeah, anonymous sources, which aren’t worth very much. So why don’t they show us the videotaped confession? Probably because there is no confession to hear.
—What about the photo stills of the suspect allegedly outside the church and his car at the scene? Those photos could have been from a different time and location, for all we know. And even if they are real, it might be evidence he was there, but that’s not evidence he committed a mass shooting.
DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
They both look like bronies.
Your tinfoil is slipping a bit there.
It’s been almost a week. Has Roof even been formally charged yet? How did he plead? What is the name of his defense lawyer?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arraignment
Arraignment is a formal reading of a criminal charging document in the presence of the defendant to inform the defendant of the charges against them. In response to arraignment, the accused is expected to enter a plea.

Shelby Police Chief Jeff H. Ledford said 21-year-old Dylann Roof would be charged either when the plane transporting him landed in South Carolina or when it entered South Carolina airspace.
Roof has waived his right to counsel, meaning he will either represent himself or hire his own lawyer.
An assistant clerk in North Carolina says the extradition hearing for suspect in the fatal shooting of nine people at a historic black church lasted just 10 minutes....
Roof has had an Extradition Hearing in Shelby and a Bond Hearing in Charleston. But still nothing about his Arraignment Hearing, where he is formally charged with his crimes. It is inconceivable to me that they would allow Roof NOT to have a lawyer, to avoid any future controversy about lack of legal counsel.
Should have thought of that one, at least.
