To start off id like to thank everyone who was involved with putting this class together.
For me personally the class was a life changing experience.
I think some basic training like trigger control, basic weapon manipulation, etc. really went a long way to enable people to soak up more of the instruction on CQB.
The instructors were top notch. Some people are good at what they do but are not good teachers. This was not the case in this class. The instructions were clear and the group was watched very closely to make sure things were done correctly. When there were issues they were taken care of quickly. The fix could be anywhere from some one on one attention to small reminders to get you back on track...ie..."quick, cover the bad holes before I see them" or my fav, "(name) U CHEATING ****" :D
Pre class prep was also a HUGE help. Running my gear with a full load and making sure everything was in order also allowed me to learn more while I was at class instead of worrying or fighting my gear... Sight all guns. Have back up guns. Extra ammo. 10 mags or more (less reloading at bad times and no worries). Boolets loose in cans for easy loading and transport. Sun screen. Hat. Kit to carry stuff like mags, water, pen, paper, etc. etc etc.
BTW black ninja outfit made it a little warmer for me and the armor was an added treat...Thank god im used to heavier armor and was born and raised in Hawaii.
One of the interesting things about the class was the sheer amount of mental concentration one needed to complete the class. Switching between the thinking brain and lizard brain and making sure things went were they were supposed to go, beat me up. Knowing your gear really helped in this aspect because you could use more brain power on other things when you were familiar with your gear.
The drills learned at this class are great and with a little bit of work I can use them here at home.
The class was pretty fast paced because of time constraints but I think we were all given enough time to pick up the ideas so we could continue to drill at home. Use it or loose it.
Other tid bits and highlights include.
Dude. Dont shoot the wall...well...we could use rubber boolets.
