I found a link to this blog post at Practical Eschatology via a post on Facebook (H/T Greg Ellifritz). While I agree with what the article is saying in terms of general ‘myth busting’, there is one part with which I disagree (my comments in bold): MYTH #4: YOUR PRIMARY WEAPON IS YOUR RIFLE. There […]

This morning I was reading a piece by Selko (H/T WRSA) and in the article he was talking about hobo vehicle armor. Here is the quote: “When he came to pick me up I noticed that rear lights on his car were smashed, broken. And inside car he had some kind of steel plates with […]

The Patrol Class is the most recent evolution in the training offered by Max Velocity. Completion of a Combat Rifle/Contact Drill is a requirement for attendance. That being said, you really must attend one of Max’s Patrol classes. I don’t mean to overstate, but it was some of the most effective tactical training I have […]

H/T to commenter ‘Submariner” for reminding me about this video. I originally posted it HERE – ‘Useful Patrol Training Video’ with the following comment: This is a useful training video.

Max did a fantastic job of transitioning from CRCD to patrol. Without prior experience in both areas (military or civilian courses), it is impossible to understand the […]

Max Velocity PATROL Class is a large step beyond CRCD.  Helen & I have participated in multiple CRCD classes.  One CRCD is required to attend, two or more for attendees with no prior military experience, is not a bad idea.  We are signed up for the May 2014 PATROL class and are scheduling more CRCDs.

Just got done with Max’s Patrol Class, what a way to spend a 3 day weekend!!! His attempt to make a concentrated Infantry curriculum that builds on the CRCD class was highly successful IMO. First off, It….. was….. COLD. Yes 19F doesn’t sound as cold as some other weathers we’ve all been in but remember […]
