   Here’s the page for the Mavic Pro. Nothing on there (that I could find, anyway) about how much time it needs for the battery to recharge, or if you can swap out a depleted battery for a fresh one.

   Joining the military could also be put under leaving the state, as there aren’t any basic training programs that each of the services require a recruit to go through as part of joining located in New Mexico (that I know of).

   As far as I know, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps don’t have any sort of MOS programs located in New Mexico.

   Even with the ROTC programs at UNM and NMSU, the services require that graduates take officer basic courses (like MOS training for enlisted personnel) for their selected branch of service. Aside from the Air Force, how many of those programs are located in New Mexico?
