A short note as I head off the for the 6 Day Combined class: I have space on both the July 10-12 Combat Team Tactics Class and the inaugural Civilian Close Combat Class that same weekend. There was some rescheduling which meant the August CTT filled up (1 space left) but it freed some space […]

I received the following email from a multiple-Alumni ‘Doc.’ I’ll give full attribution if he gets back to me and allows it. The email is an example of the quality of student that we have through MVT classes: on the whole, intelligent, professional and socially aware. As he states, this is both an overall strength, […]

This weekend I attended the Land Navigation course at MVT.  The last time I did any serious land navigation was over 30 years ago, in USAF SERE training, even though I do a lot of trail hiking.  This was not only a great refresher, but also included some new material.  Max taught how to use […]

On the MVT FORUM: Diz Sends: My Take-aways, Advice, and Tips from MVT I’ve already done AAR’s but wanted to give my overall impressions of training at MVT, and how that has changed my tactical perspective of things. I have written a little bit, on another website, about my tactical philosophy and such. I wanted […]

  This review actually came in as a comment on the ‘MVT Tactical Training: Perspective‘ Post: I’m with Diz, and Max. Just finished my first Combat Team Tactics (CTT) about a month ago. My first “professional” firearm training of any type although I’ve been shooting for years. It was a real reality check!!! Not that […]

The first Civilian Close Combat (C3) Class is taking place on the weekend of July 11/12. Class Description Yes, it’s a close combat class. It’s for civilians but that’s about where the ‘civilian’ part ends. Rifles, handguns, weapons manipulation, good sold training, CQB, basically the fundamentals of what you need to know if you have to […]

Land Nav class June 20/21 2015 The Land Nav course this past weekend was fantastic. The course is designed to train and test those with experience and those without. I feel everyone there walked away confident in their abilities to navigate with a map and compass. My background is military. I was taught lensatic compass […]

Lee wrote this on the FORUM HERE: This is being written as an adjunct to Max’s blog post, MVT Tactical Training: Perspective First a disclaimer, this is being written in reference to the average rifleman, the everyday combat grunt. The observations herein do not include any specialized or advanced unit such as sniper teams, recon […]

I’m going to put some thoughts down related to the tactical training we offer at MVT. This has come about because I have begun to think that some out there are starting to get the impression that we are teaching something a little too ‘extreme’ (as in extreme sports, not extremism!) Perhaps something a little […]

Land Nav June 8-9 Simply put, Max’s 2 day Land Nav course is well worth your time of commitment and expense. I have been interested in land nav for quite some time and have done a lot of reading on the subject matter and even took a basic course. I mainly used map reading for […]
