I hope to attend as well, always good to go over all of the core skills.

going back over my class notes for last year's level I class (which was also in February)... i would really encourage folks to try to attend this one because it's possible (I can't speak for LAV) that you could get some basic low-light stuff, since it gets dark early.

Greetings. Do you believe the course will focus more on the carbine or pistol? Thanks!
