Infantry rifleman, Recon, Scout Sniper Basic, Urban Sniper, Ariel Sniper, CQB course, VBSS (boarding ships and boats) along with a little teaching of those things to others while in and also as a civilian in again, limited capacity. I have not taken bookoos of civilian courses because… well I was asked to help teach, and upon that learned that what former JSOC guys are teaching is the exact same stuff everyone who is well trained is teaching. As far as civilian concealed carry classes, its a joke and we all know that. Its a legal briefing at best in my opinion. So I personally will not dump money for regurgitated information as far as shooting is concerned as an individual. I train for a few different things on my own and occasionally with others. I focus on marksmanship and mechanics. Draw stroke, presentation, and trigger control as fast as possible while not sacrificing an acceptable hit. I work with my every day carry and also in a plate carrier and pistol belt. Fitness is key to survivability in my book so I almost always have COFs that involve running or moving weight followed by making acceptable shots. Anything less than in the chest cavity or center of a face is considered a miss. I (and sometimes others) also work room clearing for active shooter response because you may be by yourself without a team. I emphasize being able to make precise shots with both pistols and rifles and my personal standard for shooting handguns is to always be able to make headshots at 25 yards and body shots at 50. Rifles 0-100 in the lethal triangle, and 0-300 to the body from any position you would find yourself in. This is what I strive to do of course, I dont always nail it by any means. For one really important lesson learned, dont be so dependent on a firearm that you suck with everything else. You should have good situational awareness, know how to fight on your feet, on the ground, with knives, hammers, and literally anything you can get in your hands, and finally, how to treat bleeds and traumatic wounds.</p></blockquote><p></p>
