Put up or shut-up...

[dwtt]

This is the extent of MaceWindu's so-called "After Action Report" describing his previous experience.

I read this link and found this:
"Peeling and bounding was AWESOME. Everyone dump a mag and peel back to a position of cover from the formation. Reload, COMMUNICATE and wait until the last shooter is clear. Dump another mag and PEEL! Tired, sweating, breathin hard, carbine smoking, and lovin every minute of it!

Once your class has the communication aspect down, there is rarley a task given that you can't accomplish. The five class members were tasked with "assaulting a hostile position".

At least one rifle must lay down cover fire ,ALWAYS ,while your team assaults the position: The only rule. Improvise the rest. 30 second huddle and then its go time."
This is fire team and squad tactics they teach in infantry school, except our fire teams had 4 people. Do you expect to do this type of warfare in civilian life? In the Marines everyone was expected to know this stuff and do it if needed, but what scenario do you expect to have to "assault a hostile position" in the civilian world? After reading the review and looking at the pictures, it looks like a thrill camp for Rambo types. I will use my firearms to kill a person in self defense only.

In the future, can you replace Rambo with another fictional action movie character? My surname has taken a beating over the years thanks to Stallone. It doesn't help that my first initial is J either.

I didn't know your name was really Rambo! I thought it was a tongue in cheek version of John Rambo!

Negative. "Jeffrey Anthony Rambo" is what the birth certificate has read since day one.

The best line ever was on day 1 of the police academy. The tac officers are going down the formation looking over each cadet and one passed me by about two cadets, backed up and let out "WHOA! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE ****TING ME!" ::looking at my gear back:: "RAMBO, J.!? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?" "LOOK EVERYONE, WE HAVE A REAL LIVE ACTION HERO!"

THIS is a thrill camp for Walter Mitty types:

LOL @ the edit, Ted. I was more so being sarcastic in my original request... but thanks nevertheless!

In '78 I trained a Marine reservist how to drive big rig trucks. Can you imagine going thru Marine boot camp with the name of...........John Wayne.

I can't imagine going thru MCRD w/ the name John Wayne, but I can imagine being one of the DI's that would have a hell of a good time squaring that young cherry away

People can use "Braddock", the Chuck Norris answer to "Rambo". Chuck Norris could kick Stallone's ***.

Nah, Rambo just sounds so much better...sorry.

[Jeff Rambo]

You are probably right... afterall, Chuck Norris was with 1st SFOD-D. Stallone was just with Army SF. Furthermore, Norris was a kick-*** Texas Ranger, whereas Stallone was a podunk sheriff. Scoreboard - Norris: 2, Stallone: 0.

... actually, Norris: 3, Stallone: 0. Norris also has the better looking wife. Checkmate!

I can just picture some DI standing there asking, "who do you think you are, John F*%$ing Wayne"? "Sir, Yes Sir"!

Dude thats so funny! Now think of R. Lee Ermey asking that question... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/jacket1.html...

Ahhh Full Metal Jacket....all the training you will ever need...

It would seem that some people believe that they are important to everyone.

I like to hunt and not have the animal suffer. I do not think any tactical training will help to that end. If I sound like I am being elitist please forgive, I am not. I just dont think the put up or shut up comment is necessary. We all have differed reasons for having the guns we love. I have been a gun owner since 1969, I do not believe that time of ownership = better. In fact it makes me more aware that I should not get too comfortable, that is how accidents happen. I have learned from the young as well as the old, I just keep my mind open to the possibilities. Mace we have had differences in the past and I offered my hand in friendship. I would offer an opinion the same as I would with anyone. It is not an attack in any way when I ask you to look at the pompous way that you are conducting youself here, it makes us all look bad. I am glad you find value in these kinds of drills. They may be important to you, they are not to me. Please take this for what it is, an opinion.
