Let's see if I'm remembering everything:
- Eyes & ears? Check.
- Assorted Very Tactical tee shirts? Check.
- Laptop? Check.
- Backup laptop in case the first one pukes? Check.
- iPod? Check.
- Bandaids? Dammit, I've got to stop at the store.
I've been asking people with more gun school experience than I for pointers and helpful hints, and the answers have ranged from "Remember: Front sight, press. And wear sunscreen." to "Don't (foul) up." I will try and keep all that in mind. Especially the part about not (foul)ing up.
Enjoy, enrich, incite, excite, do write. I like to think you will be reppin' me, like all the others that wish they were so Tam cool, wanna-bees and honey bees - not soon to bees.
ReplyDeleteRock it!
ReplyDeleteI disagree with that last bit. DO foul up in front of people who know all about fouling up and how to prevent folks from fouling up again.
ReplyDeleteAlso, bug spray. And keep drinking water.
Yes water.
ReplyDeleteSince you know, we're going to be in a damn swamp.
I plan to write "The Para-0rd Tac-S: Idiot-Proof?"
ReplyDeleteWe put it on the range with one to find out!
If I die in a plane crash or a TSA holding cell, Tam, just know that I didn't mean that luddite crack.
I meant the part about the Macs, though.
You will be fine. Ain't nobody died of embarassment yet! (He said as his friends pulled his pants down around his ankles!)
ReplyDeleteTo me Firearms Training Schools ROCK! the best ones are better than sex and the bad ones are still pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say that about something else.
Use sunscreen, drive plenty of water and have a GREAT time.

water water water.
ReplyDeleteDump pouches are a good thing.
Take care of blisters early and often.
sunscreen.
Aleve/tylenol, painkiller of choice is probably a good thing too.
UPLULA on a badge reel clipped to your belt. Worth its weight in thumbs.
ReplyDeleteAnd potty breaks and reloads are both best taken care of when you CAN, not left until you MUST.
And drive alert, you may meet a fool or two...
ReplyDeleteMake sure the Band-Aids are fabric, not vinyl. Sports tape is your friend, too. Blue Loc-Tite is handy as well.
ReplyDeleteGot plenty of gun lube?
polarized sunglasses?
Extra water bottles?

I raided my desk just before I walked out the door. I have a pack of tissues, a large bottle of Acetaminophen (Aleve), alcohol swabs, latex gloves and AWESOME bandages.
ReplyDeleteMy bandages are "Captain America" editions with stars and stripes. But I have cloth athletic tape, too.
You took Steve Fisher's class, right?
ReplyDeleteJust remember, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
That, and don't "bowl" on your draw. Grab, up, rotate, straight out and up.
Don't duck around?
ReplyDeleteif you do (foul) up, who the (foul) is going to call you on it? (foul) that, you're a woman with a bad attitude, vicious snarkability, and depth of knowledge and experience equal to anyone there...nobody's gonna (foul) with that...

Go get 'em Tammers!
ReplyDeleteI've had the honor of being bellowed at by Mas Ayoob when I >fouled< up during one of his classes. For a short guy, Mas has an impressive bellow.
ReplyDeleteI survived just fine.
