Guessing it's 20-21.
Possible. Add in some no-fun Carbine (meltdown on the move, anyone?), and some enlightenment from BC re: teamwork from Tac Rifle 1&2, and I'll cross the river Styx to make it.

Don't worry,"We're gonna ramp it up a notch and it's gonna get uglier" I NEED to incorporate my new pistol techniques into the meltdown drill. I want to setup some barricades and route a course that will incorporate the different movements with pivots,tac reloads between targets,different shooting positions between barricades....you get the picture.We'll walk thru this drill with a spotter/partner so we can start adding some communication and 'covering' in the mix.I've got plenty of 9MM dummy rounds and I really recommend folks(.40 .45) picking some up to induce some IA drills(we'll give up a mag or two to our partner to 'fix'). Small pieces are starting to come together. There'll be plenty of time to shoot some carbine/rifle at 300M and we still haven't shot the 500M line. bulletcatchr |

If I can clear it with work, I am so there.
I am actually starting to consider leaving my manager job and going back into train service for this training thing.......I still have my seniority (#7 on a 40 man roster) and can hold a good pick of jobs with weekends off. No more on call weekends! But I would have to drive an hour to work and no more company car.

I put together a list of the skills we were taught.We'll practice these individually.
I've also tied several skills together into blocks.Since they incorporate moving and shooting they'll be run with a spotter.We will emphasize COMMUNICATION with the spotter,along with the wedgies.Communication is a basic skill in developing team drills.This will give us a leg up onto the next level. We can combine those blocks of drills into more complicated courses of fire and incorporate the timer,etc. I am going to ask Sully to go over the BOI next week at the alumni shoot and get his input.WhenI get back I will post some an update. Rifles???I've been alternating between practicing 'light' and heavy,with the carbine/armor/gear loadout.For me the weather will dictate how rucked up I get. I've been having fun going down range,starting at one end and working my way down and back trying to practice in all the basic drills.Kind of like a Kata. I am always open to suggestions. bulletcatchR TJ IM OVER |

By rifles I meant long range, 300 perhaps?
If you guys are going to be working on carbine drills and such I might be the odd man out, seeing that I have yet to take the carbine classes. I have a carbine, just no Sully school. Willing to learn. |

F-T We've always managed to find some time to shoot at 300M.I don't have a course setup up there tho(other than the 2 steels and backers).I'm sure someone can volunteer to run us thru the carbine/pistol transition and basics.I can't refuse a meltdown .Also,the same basic courses--speedrock,backward movement,lateral movement,pivoting from behind 'barricade',shooting from behind 'barricade' from knees and prone,180 degree pivots,forward movement,zipper drills,,,can be run thru with the carbine/pistol as well as pistol. I set up some steel on the opposite side of the range,up on the road.It gives much more area to move around and shoot. bulletcatchR |

I believe AO and I will be making it out to camp on Friday night, shoot on Saturday, and come home late that evening.
We promised a freind that we'd take her to Irish fest on Sunday, so it looks like we'll miss day 2 of training.

Well crapola. I am told I cannot go to this. The wife has to work a half day on Saturday and because I have not been around the house as of late she says she wants to see me.
I think it's more of a "if I can't go, neither can you." That coupled with her making me do stuff around the house. I will work on her, there may be hope yet. This does suck major poopoo. |

Sorry Tommy. My ass is an exit ONLY. Hell, I've even been able to put off the urologist...  ...for the time being. I get scared every time I walk into that guy's office. They always have a couple of sets of gloves and a big glob of KY sitting out. FMD: Ass-virgin and proud of it! (how's that for sigline material) |

Way more than anyone wanted to know.
Continuing in said tradition. [Lecture] Every man gets some prostate cancer All women get breast cancer. The temperament and severity of the cancer are the variables. It's not a roulette wheel, hit or miss game. Think of it more like hosing down a room full of people; some get totally soaked, some only get misted, everybody gets wet. Women are taught to examine themselves semi regularly and it makes sense to do so. Men are not taught to do this, and it makes no sense. So long as you're not in terrible shape, you can check yourself. It's not an appealing though, but it sure beats the alternative of paying a stranger to check for you. It definitely beats the altenative of letting cancer fester unattended, because your manliness was too fucking delicate for a medical examination. Don't you know what's at stake? Corrective procedure vs. parts in the scrap bucket. The semi regular self exam is actually better, as you become far more familiar with yourself than the doctor would be. In doing so, you'll immediately detect any changes whereas a doctor can only judge from the general parameters of 'normal.' When trying to make a diagnosis, recent-change is often far more telling than present-state. I know they make silicone models of normal vs cancerous testicals to teach people what to look for. Dunno if they make dummy prostates for folks to finger. Tommy might know. In short, remaining merrily ignorant of your prostate condition isn't a good long term strategy. [/Lecture] |

Not merrily ignorant, just putting it off until it's reccomended (age 35). Doc requested to do the procedure after the 'stone. "I have a choice?" I said. The affarmitive answer based on my overall health, ummm "activity", and knowledge that I'd prolly be okay for another couple of years was a welcome relief. </hijack...PLEASE>

Disappointed a little in the attendance. If I had a ruler to slap some of y'all across the knuckles, it'd be done. BulletcatchR goes to a lot of trouble to put these things on for the Alumni. We should do what we can to get up to his place to practice the skills we've learned, and maybe even learn a thing or two from each other.
I got up to BC's late Friday, and did a little midnight scouting and scrounging for steel to mount the plate steel BC has purchased for pistol and rifle target gongs. 8AM-Noon BC & FMD: Warm up with the meltdown, one hand and off-hand pistol and carbine techniques, along with shoot/move drills practiced. Shooting from and moving to cover: steel targets. Side note: If you shoot Wolf and don't clean or lube your carbine; expect a stuck case at round 1250 or so.  Small break in the action to get a cleaning rod and some lube around 10 AM.Noon-2:30PM BC, FMD, Tommytrauma: Shooting from and moving to cover: steel targets, pistols and pistol cal carbine. 2:30-3PM Sustenance break. 3-4PM BC, FMD, Tommytrauma, The_Kill: "Sully Speed Rock" A.K.A. the "Collateral" practiced. 4PM-6:30 PM BC, FMD, The_Kill: Shooting from and moving to cover: steel targets, with pistols. New carbine shakedown T&E. Communicating with a partner. Ammo and pistol T&E: A.K.A "Now shoot mine". 6:30-? BC, The_Kill: Long range rifle work at 300M? Lessons learned, reinforced: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Do not crowd cover. One handed techniques are fatiguing. Use muscle groups to "lock up" your stance. Drawing from concealment (with covering garment) is much more difficult than without a covering garment. Additional skills I need to reinforce: One handed and off handed shooting. Tactical reloads. Communicating with a partner. |

1830-dark...I spotted for TheKill as he dialed in some reloads at 100-150-300M.I shot a 5 round string @ 300 and was amazed I hit the dot a couple times.
500 rounds of Wolf 9mm thru the Glizzack and she needs to be swept out.I finished up my first case of Wolf without a hitch shooting the ammo but it sure is DIRTY. I feel much better prepared for next weeks classes.My pistol shooting was all over the place at the alumni shoot. Slow is smooth,smooth is fast. Only hits count! bulletcatchR |
