Showing up mid Day on Saturday, i think we had a total of about 1 hour of rain free weather.

Which made for a perfect training!!!!!! Muddy, hard working, gross, n nasty. thats what its about. Some newer people took a liking to CAG, and were able to get down n Dirty.

VIVA!

Thanks guys, it means a lot.

Also everyone who went to this knowing it was going to be a weekend of constant downpour are badasses. Those that camped too are equally badass.

Those that took my bag full of wet weather gear, warm weather gear and my sleep system are jerks. *points at Phoenix*

It was a fun weekend. Sorry the night game didn't happen but we played until almost 6pm and then got back and dealt with downpour and setting up tents and tarps in the dark. By the time we were ready for a night game, we were only alive enough to drink cheap beer heavily. :P

Day one we learned about movement, camouflage and had some lanes through the bushes. Everyone vegged out and it really does help!


Then Day two we focused entirely on MOUT/CQB and how to conduct a raid on a fortified village. We taught two styles (British/Israeli and American LE) first, then had a Platoon sized OP on the village, with four squads working together with roughly 3:1 odds round 1 and 2:1 odds round two.

End Result:

RESULT:

I am wet, tired, dirty and had a blast. Everyone who came out is a badass. I hope you got your money's worth from our free training and that you will come back out again. It was great seeing new players who are young, but mature and willing to come out in this weather even though it's not the summer and they have school. Future AP elite right there.

Player of the Training: Redd

Redd showed up on time, brought a girl, took photos, ran two jobs both with the scouts and with 1/1 and kept a positive attitude.

Squad of the Training: 1/3

Starting off dead all training, Pickles finally came into his element at the end of Sunday, controlling his 5 man squad as two fire teams laying down effective support fire into the village for the rest of CAG to assault through in the raid. He moved between teams, kept the rest of CAG informed and kept up with his team positioning. This is the goal, and he did not micromanage his two teams. Great work!

1/3 in action, day 1:


What's next???
Maneuver. We are not aggressive enough and it's not just moving forward to get things done, but moving smartly so you DO get things done. This is done by direct control via fire team leaders and individual abilities. Squad leaders were having to micromanage and that doesn't let them do their job properly. The most important thing CAG has to work on right now is their Team Leaders and individual skills, so in November we will focus entirely on that. If you want to come check us out again, we do this every month!

VIVA!

*some* pictures are up. I think some more people took pictures, but the weather was so rainy that any camera brought out wasn't being used in the wind and rain.

What? No credit for coming out and toughing it out after compound dislocating my toe (that is what I am going to call it...deal with it) only a day before training?

Fine...next time I plan on taking all of your gear, not just your sleeping stuff...it will make you stronger. :P

Good stuff this training, lots of fun. Wish I hadn't upsidedown up my foot so that I could have been of more use.

If it aint raining, you aint training! Good job everyone, you really picked up on what it means to be "vegged out" and Im not talking about a family size bag of doritos and 24hr CoD binges.
