Combat Patrol 1503 I hope you will indulge me on this introspective AAR. If you want bullet points on the curriculum, feel free to read them under the class description. Special thanks to Ranger Chris for his contribution to the class and deep knowledge of cool movie quotes – and Fred for not seeing us […]

AAR CP 1502 The Combat Patrol Class is the culmination of all your other training.  This is where all the other pieces come together to form actual combat ops.  I’m sure lots of you have done training of one sort or another, but I doubt many of you have pushed it to this level of […]

AAR of Combat Team Tactics (CTT) 1505 I am going to have a hard time saying anything that Diz did not cover in his AAR from this class Diz Sayz His AAR covers the class progression really well. Me repeating that is not useful….. So I am going to do some inline comments. “Get your […]

I’m not going to cover the actual steps taken and items MVT teaches. There are many other AAR’s which do that better than I can. I plan on discussing the “take-aways” as I like to call them. Max and Lee, as others have stated, are very professional. When you get an ass chewing, you deserved […]

  AAR – MVT Improve your Tactical Fitness Plan weeks 1-8 – Intermediate level: MikeQ I should state that you’ll get out of this plan what you put into it. If you half ass it, you’ll get half ass results. Remember the only person you’re cheating is yourself. Well yourself and your family. If you […]

My excuses for not going to MVT. “Why should I take a course from some funny sounding guy with a silly nick name?” Well, Max has good qualifications: He trained Paras in England. (Insert the link to para training video) If you watch the video you will see how the instructors always lead from the […]

AAR of Combat Team Tactics (CTT) 1505 First of all, I will say ditto to all those comments about the trip, Romney, the Kool Wink, etc. It is a very welcome break from the daily grind, wherever you may be. You are going to a rural setting, with all that entails, and learning SUT, as […]

UPDATE:  The CTT/Combat Patrol class 23 – 28 February 2016 is roaring away and has already met class minimums. The CTT/Mobility class 17-21 February is not as popular so far, still 9 months out, which surprises me, because when I go to Texas is the only time (currently) that I lay on mobility / vehicle […]

I have two Land Navigation classes upcoming.: June 8/9 is a Monday/Tuesday and follows directly on from the June 5-7 CTT class. There is a small group attending that. See HERE for class discounts on CTT etc). June 20/21 is a Saturday/Sunday and that has far greater attendance. There is however more space because Land […]

Above: CTT May 15-17. I’m just back home after running a very rewarding Combat Team Tactics class this past weekend. I hope to get some student reviews. Lee was there again as part of the cadre and is adding a great deal of value, despite that fact that he is a former Marine (another one….they are […]
