Does this mean we can crash at Grant's house?

Man I wish we could get something like this setup a bit closer...sounds like the perfect class for me.

Do you offer scholarships??

[Jay Cunningham]

Yikes, I'd be all over this if I didn't already have a 5 day carbine course of instruction lined up June 9-13.

I hope to make a LAV pistol/basic carbine course in '08!

Enjoy the class, guys!

Hi, Grant told me about this class and I decided to go. This being my first formal training class I have a few questions about gear. Would a pistol belt with a leg drop and provisions for two AR mags and two pistol mags be sufficient or should I upgrade to some type of vest/chest rig?

3 mags for the AR (2 on you and 1 in the gun) should be just fine. If you can though, I would stay away from anything drop leg unless your wearing body armor.
