Are you signed up for the inaugural Combat Rifle Manipulation (CRM) Class 31 may / 01 June.?If not why not? I have heard nothing but great stuff about Aaron, who is the instructor. Here are some AARs mentioning Aaron: (Do you think I would have taken him on if he wasn’t excellent? I suspect he will […]

Thoughts on Organization

One of the biggest problems faced by preppers is the whole ‘OPSEC’ and group building thing. Finding decent people out there. That is one of the main obstacles to preparing for any of the ‘post-collapse’ tactics that we all talk about, and that I promote/ train: you need TEAM. Whether  for defending a retreat or a subdivision, […]

May 2nd RMP/TC3  May 3rd and 4th CRCD Rick Smith – Suspect1 MVT Forum This was my 2nd time through the CRCD program that MVT offers, my first go round having been October ’13. Not having been prior military, LEO, or mujahedeen, I had no prior reference on how to prepare, or what to expect […]

AAR: Combat Lifesaver/TC3 2 May – Jack (“Take this for your teammates’)

Take this class for your teammates. While training with your battle buddies it does not take long to form a bond. As you go along this bond deepens and you actually start doing things for your teammates. In moving that forward it is your duty to be able to come to your teammates aid in […]

AAR: Combat Rifle / Contact Drills (CRCD) 3/4 May – Jack

I have read many of the CRCD AAR’s, that is what convinced me to come to MVT. What I am trying to do is to possibly give a different perspective to why MVT is the place to train. I did tactical pistol training last year at a name brand tactical facility. The price was $500 […]

Two for the Vietnam Vets

Given the number of Vietnam Vets who continue to come through my classes, this post is for you, even if you don’t appreciate the music genre! 67 years old, or around that age, often wounded in combat, you continue to train.

AAR: Rifle Manipulation Primer (RMP) 2 May – Jack

When Max announced the RMP class I was all over it. I signed up for it the first day it was available. Being a handgun guy and new to the AR platform it just made good sense to get instruction from professional AR runners. In a nutshell it was the smartest thing I did in […]

STFU: Get an AR!

Knuckledragger thought for the day: Observing training, and how people perform while doing it, I have to say that there is no justification to not have an AR-style rifle. Yeah, Yeah, I know. You want to bang on about putting them down at 1000 yards, turning cover into concealment, and all that. To which I […]
