On the back of reading comments on a forum post in the Alumni section, on the ‘proper wear’ of the various MVT patches, what do you think of these proposed additions to the MVT Rifleman & Vanguard patches? Note: these would be in addition to the current patches given out for Rifleman / Vanguard.   […]

A little background on myself first. I am a retired U.S. Army Infantry First Sergeant, with several deployments during my career. I started following the blog several months ago. I had originally signed up for the Combat 2 gun that was cancelled. Max asked if I wanted to take the CTT (Combat Team Tactics) class. […]

Yeah. I watched that movie with the kids. ‘Into the Woods’. Cue a little song that will not leave your brain, Little Red Riding Hood skipping along with a basket of sweetbread, singing “Into the Woods, Into the Woods…and home before dark….”…etc. Well there were some comments recently at class that many suburbanites are actually […]

  AAR for June 2015 CTT I feel fortunate to have been able to attend CTT and consider it to be the best training that I have ever attended. The MVT ranges were top notch.  Most parts of the country do not have the terrain features to build ranges like those at MVT.  The terrain […]

  These days, with the cost of living rising slowly but surely, those of us who live according to budgets really have to be quite selective when it comes to handing out spare funds for training. I do not have the free time and extra money to train nearly as much as I would like […]

  I came a little early for the land nav class, and got to help support the CTT class last weekend.  Sean T pitched in as well.  So we had a great mix of old and new students.  This was a great bunch of guys overall.  We had ethnic Russians, South Africans, not to mention […]

This was the inaugural Land Navigation class, in response to those that wanted some more training before the Rifleman’s Challenge.  If this is you, this class will fit the bill nicely.  You will come away with a new-found appreciation for terrain, and the ability to navigate over it. It starts out with lecture theory.  So you […]

I am just back from the June 8-9 Inaugural Land Navigation Class. We have the next class upcoming on June 20-21. Due to popular demand, I am adding an additional Land Navigation Class on August 22-23. Attending this Land Navigation Class not only teaches you how to navigate, and gives you practical experience, but it […]

I am tardy in posting this review from March 2015 training (Combat Team Tactics) but I hope some will still find it helpful. First, I want to thank Max for offering this (one of a) kind of training and making it available to the average person. I am a 5’3″, 48 year old female with slightly […]

I just had a great email from a gentleman. It was a response to my post today about PT. Extract: Re: ‘Fear of PT’ HERE: Yes, you’re right.  The PT is what stops me from devoting the money and the time.  I’m 65, diabetic, with a lot of arthritis and so on.  I can still […]
