LOL, I thought the EXACT same thing.
Needs more full auto to be operator approved.
Gotta love the SET representing.
What exactly are we seeing here? High volume of fire to suppress or break contact? What are the prerequisites for attendance of such a class?
"Our Fighting Rifle class (within one year) and HRCC Small Unit Tactics are pre-requisites for anyone who has not been in a deployable status on a Tier One SOCCOM unit within the last calendar year. This is non-negotiable."
Glad to see the prerequisites listed. I attended a local class last year that implemented some minor team movement. Most of the attendees had no prior training. I came uncomfortably close to getting shot in the back. I won't be attending any other training with that instructor, ever. Lol at "Tier One SOCCOM" waiver though.

No problem. Whenever I see a class that involves that much movement, team tactics and volume of fire, I always think about my previous experience. My example was with novice shooters or more accurately, they had no prior formal training. The class went from 0-60 in one day and most of them weren't prepared. I saw numerous safety concerns that day, culminating with me being paired with a train wreck of a partner for the final drill. During a transition, he was literally dual wielding his carbine and pistol, with the pistol pointed squarely at my back. I didn't know who I wanted to throat punch worse, the student or the instructor that let it happen. Lesson learned: never take a class without vetted prerequisites and wear body armor if any team tactics are involved.
I know, I know...but I'm going to do it anyway.
Does that read to anyone else like they are equating taking two classes with them as being on the same level as "Tier One SOCCOM"?
Not to mention that ignoring the training and service of the rest of the SOCOM community and just honoring the previous experience of the JSOC guys seems pretty demeaning. I guarantee you that just about every SEAL, Ranger, and PJ out there are way more qualified to run the course than some guy who "took two courses".Hence, my previous "LOL".
I can see what you're saying but it didn't come across to me as that.
It came across more as if you're an F1 driver then you don't have to take our drivers Ed course to do this class because you already know where the gas and brake pedals are.
Fair enough....but by specifically calling out Delta and DEVGRU like that, I don't think your comparison holds up.
