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.

Former Marine Raider, Mike Abarca, talks a little about how he likes to set up his gear.

We shared a number of videos about gear setups with various special operations veterans, and you can compare and contrast how they approach things.
