I have 29 guys on my list. Remember, this is for two Phase I classes (April+November). The guys who contacted me first will get on the April. Everybody else goes on the November class list.

Since I'm not in the top 14 I should assume I'm in the November class?

If that's the case, go ahead and remove my name. I'm moving from the Hampton Roads area in October and I don't want to pay for lodging.

Sorry about being fickle.

I have no idea who will actually attend the April class yet. I'm sure many of guys above you on the list will end up not attending for one reason or another. Things like work, kids, and money could make some guys attend the November instead or not at all. I'm off work all next week and will be concentrating on getting all of this straight. Stay tuned, I will be contacting everybody on the list.

Looks like it may be too late BUT please add me to the list of definites...for April. I will cross my fingers that there are enough instructors/range space to run two classes simultaneously...? There seem to be enough interested parties.  

I hoped to use the opportunity not only to improve my skills but also get a feel for Blackwater and see if employment there might be a possibility. By November I'll be down a different career path I imagine.

I've added you to the list. I'm also going to ask Blackwater about running two Phase I's at the same time in April. I was told NO the first time, but it never hurts to ask again. They just have so much going on with there regular classes and Acadamy training. I don't think they have enough ranges available.

I spoke with Blackwater yesterday. Carol is looking into the possibility of running both Phase I classes on the April 13,14, and 15th dates. No promises, but I'm trying. One change from last year is that the full payment must be sent in with your application/credential paperwork to hold your seat in the class. No $100 deposit this year. Blackwater has had more than a few scumbags pay just the deposit, attend a class and then deny they attended the class when Blackwater sends them a bill. They screwed it up for everybody. I'm going to be contacting the first group on my list tonight to confirm interest in the April class and just keep going down the list until I get 14. Everybody else will go on the list for the November class. Blackwater is sending me the official quote for the class and once I sign it and return it to them the first 14 guys can start sending in there payments/paperwork. There will be a time limit on how long the first 14 guys get to have there paperwork/payment into blackwater. I cannot risk an empty seat with such a long list of guys possibly waiting till November. I will post more on all of this when I hear back from Blackwater.

The class is a go and your seat is locked.  Feel free to make any arrangements you need. We should be able to start sending in paperwork and payment in a week or so. I just have to sign the quote and send it back to Blackwater.

Your fairly high up the list, so you have a good chance of making the April class even if we only have one class in April. It all depends on how many more confirmations I get this week.

I will be putting together a email or IM with instructions on everything you need to submit shortly. I prefer a drop leg holster, but I'm sure your belt will do fine. Several guys from last years class used them with zero problems. If Blackhawk made a CQC for a light railed 1911, I would probably be using a belt holster myself.

I brought two holsters to the class last year. I used a belt holster for the pistol portion of the class, and I used a drop leg for the carbine portion. I find that belt holsters don't work well with the tac vests. I would base your hoster decision on what type of system your going to use for carrying extra AR mags.



I was going to purchase this Blackhawk Hip Pouch. I'm not a "one size fits all" type so I do not think a chest rig will work. Do you think this mag pouch will be OK?

Thanks,
