REAL Tactical Training---My Ops Are Blacker Than Your Ops Seminar, May 25th

[SeanN]

I haven't... My sister is such a fuddy dutty.

We need a few volunteers to step up and take my sister's spot, and the other two openings.

**Calling on Kozball to pick up my sister's spot**

Ask that bum Kiel also.

[NENick]

Ask that bum Kiel also.

He works on Saturdays. Someone should remind him that this is the USA, and hard work is frowned upon.

[RLMoeller]

OK.  I'll take that spot.

[JTH]

OK.  I'll take that spot.

If you are taking Nick's sister's spot, 1) please still go to the registration page and register for the seminar at http://precisionresponse.4t.com/Schedule.html  ---and in the "Payment" section, choose "check" and then when it asks for the check number, put "Olson" there, and I'll know you are taking that spot; then 2) make sure you get with Nick and pay HIM for the seminar.



Two spots left! 

(C'mon, I saw Real Tactical People there at the Man vs Man match yesterday!  You KNOW you want to learn to be a Real Operator!)

[JTH]

Almost to the seminar!  I've been buying up smoke and frag grenades (you know, for realism) and set up the computer interface for the Airsoft smartguns which will shoot you if you don't....

....ahem.  Well.  Anyway...

TWO SPOTS LEFT!  Find people who are worse shooters than you are, and get them into the class so that you can beat them mercilessly!

Yesterday I went out and mowed the range area, and you are welcome.  (If we had been doing the Blacker Ops 2.0 version, I'd have left the thigh-high grass there, and we'd have worked some infiltration too!)

Everyone has been practicing their combat rolls?  Their war face? 

Show me your war face!

[JTH]

Just got another registration----so there is only one slot left. 

If you are interested, get yourself registered!

That must be Phil!

[bkoenig]

I really wish I could attend.  I want to run the course with my hi tech 1851 Colt Navy and über tactical 1874 Sharps.  I would make my own smoke screen for concealment.

I'm afraid you don't get points for CONFUSING the targets. 

[JTH]

We trained people in some SERIOUS TACTICAL OPERATIONS today.

SERIOUS.

Everyone was grimly intent on being an Operator, and we Took Them To The Next Level.

As this was supposed to be covert, ALMOST everyone in the class looked calm, cool, collected, completely harmless, and not tactical at all. 

ALMOST. There's always That Guy....  [sigh]

And in our special socom operator-like comparative competition-----he also won. 

[double sigh]

Here he is with his winner's cap and MOABTYO patch, along with the tactical sustenance provided by another student...

(Gotta love Tactical Bacon!)

[SeanN]

Overt tactical is the only way to go.

Step 1: Buy multicam
Step 2: Wear multicam
Step 3: ? ? ? ?
Step 4: Win

It's my 4 step process to success for real operators. 20% of the time it works EVERY TIME.

I'd like to thank Crye Precision for designing the amazing multicam pattern that helped me win this competition. And Wild Things Tactical for making a fantastic multicam windshirt and wind pants that help you stay cool, stay dry, and remain tactical. It's tacticool-dry.

Okay, I think I'm done making everyone dumber.

In seriousness, was a very fun seminar, looking forward to the next one. I'll write up a review for you also, Thomas. No promises on being short.

For those who thought I was being unfair for giving a point to those who had Tactical Beards (tm) ----well, here you go:

See?  Justified!

Do handle bar mustaches count? I've started growing mine now.

Only if you look like this:



or this:



...but it still won't be the same.



If necessary, you can always use a prosthetic....but I can't guarantee that people won't snicker at you behind your back...



Do YOU have a tactical beard?


Are YOU a member of the club?
