Man, I hate venturing outside of GD. I'm either going crazy, or I had a thread deleted from the tactical rifle training forum.
I must have rubbed someone the wrong way or never hit submit, so rather than risk reposting something deemed inappropriate, I'll just ask here and play it safe.
I'm working on clearing my schedule so I can do a 3-day tactical carbine class in October. This will be my first formal carbine class. I've seen various "what to bring" lists out there, and most of it makes sense to me. Where I get a bit confused is on the more tactical/tacticool type gear. Handgun stuff is a lot more straightforward. Holster, concealment garment, spare mag carrier that goes on belt. I'm not some HSLD-type, and I don't want to be "that guy" who shows up overdressed looking like some wannabe. On the other end, I don't want to be that guy who drags the pace of everything down because he's got pmags stuffed in pockets and his pants are falling down. I just don't know what to expect and want to get the most out of it. If that means "dress up", then by all means I can dress up, I just don't know what the expectations are at classes like that.
What's "appropriate" tactical gear for a class like that? Please be specific with any suggestions and recommendations. I'm not that familiar with the stuff. I just want to be as on the ball as I can be, because I don't get chances to do this very often.
