Below is a link to an After Action Review I have just finished writing for a course I took this past weekend. I wanted to add a few tidbits of information here for my fellow Marylanders.
1. I live in the Timonium area. I awoke at about 4:30 AM in order to make the drive down to Culpeper in time for the start of class. As it happened, I had an extra 30 minutes or so (took me 2 hours and 5 minutes to get down there, leaving my house at 4:52 AM on that Sunday morning), but one never knows what will be faced near DC.
2. As noted in the AAR, I do plan to train with John as well as some other instructors he hosts again this year. Though a long day, it's worth it. And for the readers who already live in VA, or perhaps in parts of Maryland closer to DC, the drive is would be considerably less.
3. John has a pretty well-developed sense of issues those of us in Maryland face and understands how to "operate" in the NPE, or "non-permissive environment". I'll say no more.
4. This was less a class about shooting and more a class on how to solve problems, problems that any of us might face on any given day.
5. I believe John recently became an Industry Partner here, so we in Maryland who don't always have the best training opportunities should take advantage of what he offers, which really are a mix of "different-from-the-norm" classes.
Here is the link. Feel free to ask questions here. Thanks for reading:
