Can't resist to put down some words despite 3 hours of drive to Seattle and an aching tired body.
.................
.................
.................

I just lost words...
Ok, Let's put it this way,
1. That was damn NOT fun at all.... It was...


I.N.T.E.N.S.E. , exciting, adrenaline pumping!!! As real as it gets!
That made 4 years of learning the theory of CQB goes right out of the window. Toooooootally different between the theory and the application.

Learning the theory doesn't include learning the mind set that there is a possibility that I'm gonna kill somebody when I step into a room. Guess what? "Ohh... the tango is too innocent-looking for me too shoot at... Ooops... My teammate's head just got popped all over the room.."

Btw, I learned a hole damn lot till I suffocated enough to digest all at once.

The rest.. well.. unexplainable experience today.

My tons of thanks to Bill, Matt, Adam, all other instructors and actors today.

Suggestion, next time, put ugly bastards as the bad guys/gals so we don't hesitate to shoot, dammmit!!!!!! They all looked innocent... (just kidding) :lol:

hey man, it rocked running with you guys yesterday, and you are definitely right, it isn't fun, it is intense. You guys got a taste of what our competitions look like. Bill, Adam, and others design the scenarios that go into competitions with months of forethought, to make them challenging to the teams running through them. You can't go into the room expecting a simple "shoot/no shoot" scenario. As you saw, it is a very dynamic situation, with people running all over, and others just sitting in the middle of the room. It's your job to break their world, and put it together as you see fit.(this coming from the 20/20 hindsight) I think that was one of our biggest breakers. We kept trying to deal with each individual where they stood, and didn't take them out of their comfort zone. Something my instructors keep telling me about officer safety, is that you make people feel as uncomfortable as possible, because if you make it hard for them to deal with you, it makes it harder for them to screw with you. You have to do that to everyone you are dealing with, innocent or not, especially in a room dump. Everyone is armed and dangerous until I prove otherwise.

Yeah, you and the other guys rock yesterday, Omega1! Good job team.
But not to me, it's very frustrating yesterday. I took it seriously when my teammate got down. Gee, I felt like it was a failure on my side watching the guy next to me got shot and I didn't even put my finger on the trigger. It's just hard for the first time of looking people in the eye and decide whether to shoot or not to shoot.
I'm angry, looked like a fool, toooooooootally newb, and I have to walk with a head down and accept them. However I just passed the first milestone of the whole and main reason I'm doing airsoft; to master CQB as in the real deal.

Best training ever

Postby Vulcan » Sun Apr 22, 2007 12:38 pm

That was the best training event I've ever been to!
The instruction was incredible and of the highest caliber.
We received direct and immediate feedback on our weaknesses and strengths.
I can't wait until the next training session.
I already feel more focused and knowledgeable.
The skills we learned we can apply/take back to our team and do our own drills.
Apologies to Postman, who I accidently shot TWICE! I appropriately got an a$$ chewing and had to do some jumping jacks for repentance. KEY LEARNING: always identify your target even when you are running fast.

I mirror another poster's comment, it was difficult to get out of the military "kill the enemy" mindset and transition to SWAT...there were innocent people and other options besides deadly force.

I can't thank the Trainers and the Actors enough. Best $25 bucks I've spent all year.

Let me know when the next training session will be held, I will be there.
Life is Good!
Have a great day.

I wonder if documentary team can send me the any video footage, RAW and edited of the whole event (for documentation and learning purpose). It would be highly appreciated. I won't mind paying for a blank DVD and shipping to Seattle. Thanks!

The training definitely made my year! ... At least before the next CQC event tho... huahaha :D

this was not only a crucial training event, it was a awsome training event. everyone from tier teams to begginers walked away with somthing, and that was knowledge and tools.

the knowledge that was imparted from basices to advanced, although rushed, and for some maybe hard to absorb. it was still thourogh and very practical. the greatest knowledge that was imparted was the fact that time will be the basic unit of measure, not points. the fact that the criteria has changed has allowed for added realisim, and much closer gaps inbetween teams during competition. it will be your time that kills you....all ROE violations are now added time, just as in IPSC.

so now we know the criteria that you will be graded on as a cohesive team. it is your time/timing, and how well you work together and follow through together as a unit.



the tools we were given has either started your basic tool box, or enhanced a already existing toolbox.

fireing stance: isocolese & weaver
footwork
weapon transitions
weapon control ( DONT DROP YOUR bleeding WEAPONS!)
basic commands
body searching : male & female ROE
cover and holster
threat assesment
deep penatration
wall flood
T-section pinwheel
Aus-Pealoff
cursory searches
ROOM DUMPING



overall i learned a great deal, some of this was already stuff we had learned @ mini-CQC crackhouse, yet it appears others forgot. the tools we were given were not meant to be taken as doctrine or SOP, but to have the diffrrent skills sets to build your own SOP that suits your teams styles. all the details were implace, and the actors provided a variety of levels of intencity, so each and every time you dumped the house, even though you had drilled it 5 times, each time was diffrent.



i must put out there that the black sierra team has organized one of the finest training events i have been too. if you plan on making a team showing to future CQC comps, and you have missed this, i strongly suggest you make nice with a team that did attend. make plans on attending the next mini-CQC training event. if you want to place, this will be one of your top priorities.


postmans execution was excellent, although atimes i saw him strain to hold his bearing ( i knew you wanted to bust up a few times ol softy) while ripping into someone. "if she says STOP, I AM UNCOMFORTABLE, I am going to punch you!"

when admins says make weapond hot and red dots on, and you say "okay".....make sure you actually do it.<---you know who:smile:


bill was nice cop. when ever postie lost it and prescribed some beat face or jump in place, bill would just smile. treefrogs reprimand was particularly humorus.

so i gleened what i can, it appears i started the day sweeping major tittie, but at the end of the day, while still leaving room for improvement, left a impression.



special thanks and a shout outs to

tits
tommyboy's marine raiders

thx for allowing me to "cut in " on your teams time.

F*cking A, guys. F*ucking A.

Totally bad a$$ today. It was great having someone there to see from an outside perspective how we move, and be able to give recommendations and instruction on the spot.

I need to muzzle strike someone again now.

Great job, and thanks
