    It's great to see trainers that don't look like they'd have a heart attack if they had to run 100 yards. These guys are the real deal. It's good to see some young Pat Macnamaras : )

      Not to disrespect anything Pat Mac has done for this nation but there was a difference in training and tactics after 9-11. Even at the highest level of our SF units Before 9-11 very few guys had the combat experience these warrior have. Before 9-11 a lot of tactics were thory based, after 9-11 we found out what really worked in modern combat. Having trained with these professionals, Im proud of the caliber of warriors our military is producing. That being said,Pat is a savage and I can’t wait to train with him

      LuwigChannel neg. man marker rds. drop in a a bolt group that only functions with Sims and it allows you to use your weapons,your gear. like a mix between a paint ball and a bullet. and really motivates you not to get hit. treat everything real. and during training with them there is a 100% chance of someone getting hit in the junk.
