I’m currently down in Texas running the ‘MVT CTT/Mobility-Convoy Class, Brady, Texas 18-22 Feb 2015.’ This is a great area for this training. I’ll try and get some photos and update this post daily as the class continues. Combat Team Tactics (CTT) Day 1: Combat Team Tactics (CTT) Day 2:           […]

I know that many are holding off on the MVT Rifleman Challenge due to fear of failure. Others are aiming for the fall event (exact date to be scheduled). The three day training and challenge weekend is $500, or $450 with either an alumni or an ‘Oath Takers’ discount (see the MVT Rifleman Challenge page for […]

I am currently down in Texas for the Brady Combat Team Tactics / Mobility Class. 1500 miles and 26 hours of driving. I listened to the audio book of Colonel Grossman’s ‘On Combat’ on the way down. Well worth the listen. It prompted me to write this post. It’s not something I have ever talked […]

I’m turning 50 this year; I have been looking forward to this birthday for about the past 5 years. I am determined to be as fit a 50-year-old as I can possibly be. Be all you can be…I think that was the Army slogan when I joined in 1987. I have been really busting my […]

Just a quick note: I am hearing from or about lots of people who are attending the MVT Rifleman Challenge on the 27th March. Those numbers far exceed the numbers of those who have officially signed up. I get it: many of you are still trying to see if you can get your PT up […]

I’m looking for a few organizers/marshals for the 27 – 29 March MVT Rifleman Challenge. These would be generally useful types who are not going to be doing the challenge, and don’t mind giving up the time to help the event flow. Responsibilities will vary but be along the lines of helping get people to […]

To the Reader, I chose to write the following MVT C2G student review as an open letter to my kids. Please feel free to share it with anyone who loves their kids, and can therefore relate. Kids, You three are super-awesome and your Mom and I love you forever.  We love you enough to do […]

Aaron ran the first Combat 2 Gun (C2G) class this past weekend. Training numbers have been slow this February due to concerns over the weather, but we had 6 students and the weather was a little cold but good overall. The students also helped me beta test the shoot and 2-Miler standards for the MVT […]

Regarding this post: *Facepalm*: re-complicating counter-ambush drills: Here is a video of s soldier going forward, alone, into enemy machine-gun fire. Thankfully, it was not at closer range/more accurate. Here is what he said about the incident: “I got a hit a total of 4 times. My helmet cam died and I made it down […]

We have run some beta testing of the MVT Rifleman Challenge shooting and 2-Miler standards. This weekend Aaron is running the first Combat 2 Gun (C2G) class at the Velocity Training Center (VTC) and we ran the students through the shoot. Three of them volunteered to run the 2-Miler at the VTC beforehand which also […]
