AFTER ACTION REPORT Max Velocity Combat Rifle/Contact Drills March 15-16, 2014 Submitted by: Alan W. Mullenax  The last time I participated in anything like this training was in the United States Army some forty years ago.

Before I offer my thoughts on the classes and my reasons for returning a second time, I want to point out that Max’s professionalism and enthusiasm are clearly […]
