TRAINING FACILITY





All of the TNVC Night Defender Course in
2015 will be hosted by Telluric Group, at their indoor low light/no
light optimized facility. The training facility is located just off of
I-95 at Exit 38 in
Brunswick, GA.  The street address is 136 Venture Drive, Brunswick, GA
31525.
Telluric Group's indoor training facility has a live-fire range, an NLTA
shoot house, a confidence course, a multimedia classroom, and more.




Key Features:













  • The classroom seats 12 students. Our lounge area can be converted to
    a classroom for larger classes (up to 36).  Both classrooms are
    equipped with a projector, speakers, restrooms, and a coffee and water
    station.

  • The 25 yard live-fire range has 10 lanes with target retrievers.  It's rated to for weapons up to .308.

  • Two-story shoothouse has roughly 1500 square feet of
    reconfigurable space that can be used for training with non-lethal
    training ammunition (NLTA).

  • The entire facility, including the live-fire range, is climate controlled.

  • Lighting conditions can be controlled throughout the facility- it is optimized for no/ low light training.

  • The classroom, range, and NLTA shoothouse are all in the same
    building, which means that transitions between briefings and exercises
    can be accomplished very quickly.

AIRPORTS









The Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK), serviced by Delta, is only
3.5 miles away. The facility's location also makes it accessible to
airports in Jacksonville (JAX, 58 miles) and Savannah (SAV, 68 miles).  
Although airfare into Brunswick is slightly more expensive, we recommend
it because it's so convenient- it's relatively small size makes
parking, check-in, security, etc. relatively quick and simple.






Hotels


There are quite a few hotels that are convenient to our training
facility.  Several offer special rates to our students. There are also a
number of other hotel options, including exclusive beach resorts, that
are within 20 minutes of the facility. Ask for the Telluric Group training rate.
















Any questions, please feel free to post them.

Planning to sign up couple of questions:

1. Who are the instructors, what are their backgrounds?
2. On your level 2 course, is the shoot house exercises done as a communicating team or just as an individual obstacle course?

EDIT:
Answered my own questions by looking at training site.  Thanks.

Does attendance at several Appleseeds cover the prerequisite of a carbine/rifle course?

Sweet!

Eric, could you PM me so I can give you my address, sizes, etc?  I'll just need you to send me a PVS-14, Ops-Core, mount, and the new ATPIAL (totally worth it for you because I'll write an excellent review), and I should be all set.  

I've cleared out my inbox to make room for your message.  Thanks my man!
