First and foremost, it is always a pleasure and a rare gift to draw knowledge, skills and abilities from a practicing and experienced warfighter. Whether the instruction is on how to tie your boots in a better way, a “hip pocket” class on a rifle or weapons systems, or large and complex undertakings involving the use of many concepts, one should always jump at the chance to gain perspective. Even if the perspective or lessons learned are wrong, or even DEAD wrong, a warrior still stands to gain a lot by recognizing and knowing what not to do. - This was not one of those classes.
Perhaps the most valuable lessons learned in the class were those of perspective. Learning, dissecting, and recognizing the successes and failures of some of the greatest military leaders is a significant tool to have in your toolbox. An abbreviated breakdown of the evolution of grand tactics served to illustrate these individual successes and failures, meanwhile demonstrating the practical applications and uses of each tactic. The tactics were then applied to a small unit level. The concept is much like combining 5000 years of applied and evolved warfare and whoopass into one small, cohesive unit.
The concepts conveyed in a class are not simple. As such, a warrior can spend decades practicing and getting better. Much like martial arts, it is a constant study and a beautiful partnership between body and mind that never ends. Generally, there is what is called the “crawl, walk, run” phases when learning new and complex concepts like the ones that were taught at the class. You cannot expect to step into the ring with a seasoned and card-carrying UFC fighter after a few days in a mixed martial arts class. I believe that, for the sake of time, different walks of life, different levels of experience, the instructor was forced to begin training at closer to the “walk stage”. However, for the time frame of two days, there was an immense amount of information packed into every second of the class. I hope everyone took good notes! Digging deeper into these concepts, researching more, and practicing on your own time will undoubtedly pay dividends and become a force multiplier in building warrior skills.
Overall, the most beautiful thing about the class is this – it was what you made it and will continue to make it. You can take it all in and not waste a crumb and continue to digest it, or you can use bits and pieces as you see fit. In any case, strong foundations build skyscrapers. Stay brilliant in the basics, gentlemen!
OscarMikes rifle discipline is outstanding. I don't think he EVER even set his rifle down. He slept with it in his sleeping bag!
It's not as exciting as it sounds. It was funny though. Thanks to all you guys who attended for making him feel accepted.Quote:
