“The Journey” Episode #2: Intro to Carbine with Retired Navy SEAL Mark Cochiolo

"The Journey" Episode 2: Intro to Carbine with Retired Navy SEAL Mark Cochiolo

We continue “The Journey” with retired Navy SEAL, Mark T. “Coch” Cochiolo.

If you’re new to “The Journey,” it’s a video series where I will be traveling across the United States to train with various subject matter experts to give you an inside look into what and how it’s like training with them.

From militaristic training in full kit to civilian concealed carry techniques to combatives training, we’ll be filming everything and sharing the experience with you!

My private training sessions tend to run very long, so it is very difficult condensing a full day’s worth of training into a 20-25 minute video. As a result, these episodes are meant to show only highlights instead of serving as complete video lessons.

As you watch this and future episodes, you will notice that every instructor will have slightly different techniques and/or approaches, but you’ll notice that despite these differences, the principles are the same.

It is more important to understand the principles and concepts behind their instruction, rather than individual techniques.

Intro to “The Journey”

If you haven’t already watched it, first check out the intro to “The Journey” to learn why we started it and where we are going with the video series.

Watch Episode #2

In Episode #1, I trained with Coch and where he reviewed the basics of combat pistol. In Episode #2, Coch introduces the carbine laying a foundation for future training.

If you haven’t watched Episode #1, you can watch it here!

Episode #2 is ideal for beginners who have little to no experience with carbines or anyone who is curious to learn how Coch teaches the basics of combat carbine.

We’d Love Your Feedback!

Like Episode #1, we hope you find Episode #2 entertaining and educational.

We filmed and edited Episode #2 a while ago, and since then, we’ve made improvements for future episodes. However, based on Episode #2, we’d love to hear your feedback so we can make sure you get great value out of future videos from “The Journey.”

Please do me a favor and leave your feedback in the comments section below, and we’ll make sure to take everything into consideration!

    Glad I found your site. Very informative and helpful. I especially like how every trainer breaks everything done in its simplest form and builds on the concepts. I also like how the trainers are not full of themselves and actually take the time to instruct the individuals that are here to learn. This is a website and forum worth watching and going back to time and time again. I also appreciate how the instructors answer the questions in the forums. So kudos to all of you and thank you for putting together such an informative site for all citizens of every skill level to watch

      Thanks, Pete! Your comment means a lot and is exactly what we like to hear. I’m glad you like the content–we’re just getting started!

      And you’re absolutely right about our SMEs being great traininers. They are indeed professionals and we are grateful and honored to have them as part of the community.

      Just because someone was in special forces, spec ops, swate or any other elite unite does not make them a good instructor. Our SMEs are both very experienced in their fields as well as outstanding trainers.

      It is our goal to connect the public with vetted tactical experts, and everyone we feature on our site, truly deserves to be known and respected.

      Again, thanks for the comment, and great to hear the content is helpful!

      Great video especially for those that are not able to attend a live session. While it’s not the same, the video presents plenty of information to practice on your own or with a friend for observation purposes. Thanks so much for posting these and adding the link to Instagram.

    Hello Myles I been following you for a while and I can’t say enough on how great this site is
    I am totally a beginner and I am watching over and over this videos.
    but I just wanted to ask if is not to much to ask to list the gear used in the videos like
    from the instructor
    name or brand of holster
    carbine or pistol
    the belt to keep the Magazines
    the chest (vest or chest protector)
    your whole set up and the instructor is amazing!
    I think with links to vendors will work great
    Thank you

    or at least in this video since I Have to get a holster and trying to some more gear

    Good stuff Myles !!! For beginners or intermediate/advanced. Only thing that separates novice from operators is operators do the basic without thinking due to training training training.

TRAINING PRIORITY Good instructors, schools, and s TRAINING PRIORITY
Good instructors, schools, and systems often provide a training roadmap for their students.

However, these roadmaps do not always account for many personal variables such as size, gender, speed, strength, age, etc.

What would you prioritize next and why?

Situation awareness and mindset are important, but let’s assume you have that in the bag already.

OPTIC HEIGHT Retired Navy SEAL “Coch” talks ab OPTIC HEIGHT
Retired Navy SEAL “Coch” talks about optic heights on rifles in our latest video on YT. (Head over to our channel to check it out!)

He discusses two common options that are used and how one method (i.e. a higher optic) is preferable for CQB and night operations.

CELL PHONES 📱 It’s not uncommon to see real CELL PHONES 📱 
It’s not uncommon to see real footage of people involved in a deadly encounter holding their cell phones.

It’s a hard habit to break developed over a long period of time.

Many of us are attached to our phones, literally and figuratively. 

If you do not train in realistic scenarios, you, too, will likely hold on to your phone when that hand can be used to defend yourself.

There is an argument that one might need to use their phone after a conflict, and their phone might break if a person drops their phone.

Well, your working phone will do you no good if you’re dead. 

Drop you phone and deal with any threats.
