Disabled Vets Return To Service
Posted by Brian in Matches and Competitions, News, Warriors on 22/Feb/2011 17:33
Tactical Wire has a great article on a pair of disabled vets that returned to service and went on to compete in the Army’s Marksmanship program.
As if by fate for these two noncommissioned officers, the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit with the assistance of the World Class Athlete Program was in the process of building a ground-breaking Paralympic section, thus creating a unique opportunity for wounded veterans deemed able to continue to serve on active-duty to demonstrate the strength of our Soldiers in Paralympic competition.
Interest in Concealed Carry Permits Increases
From Tactical Wire:
Of particular significance, however, is the finding that the handgun owners who don’t already possess a concealed-carry permit, about 40 percent said they intend to apply for one within the next 12 months. This strong interest in obtaining concealed-carry weapon (CCW) permits could mean a real demand for training and CCW-related accessories and firearms in the coming year.

Don’t Aim for the Upper Chest?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion, Training on 30/Jan/2011 19:31
“Aiming for the Upper Chest or Central Mass results in effective shot placement. This is a reasonable theory if no one is moving. In a real life self defense situation, you cannot expect that the assailant to stand still like a target on a shooting range.
This series is produced for DownRange TV by Ralph Mroz and David Kenik.
Ralph Mroz and David Kenik are the people behind the Armed Response DVD series. These video programs avoid both the simplistic advice that is too often given for armed self-defense, and on the other end of the spectrum, the over-macho “high-speed†“tactical†advice that is also both unrealistic and too prevalent. Instead the focus is on what is realistically possible for most people to do in these extreme circumstances. Mroz was a police officer for almost 20 years, most recently assigned to his county’s drug task force; Kenik is the firearms instructor for the Lake Arthur, NM police department.”

Master CFI-Helicopter Accreditation
FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education
Master CFI-Helicopter Accreditation Now Available
Notice Number: NOTC2738
Master CFI-Helicopter
Master Instructors LLC of Longmont, Colorado recently introduced its new Master CFI-Helicopter (MCFI-H) accreditation. Designed to better serve the needs of the nation’s rotorcraft instructors, the MCFI-H designation is the sixth in a line of Master accreditations offered by the company.
Improved safety in rotary wing instruction and EMS operations has taken on a renewed emphasis in recent years. Thus, with input from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the International Helicopter Safety Team (http://www.IHST.org/), and the Helicopter Association International (HAI), Master Instructors LLC modeled the MCFI-H designation after its Aerobatic Instructor Designation program, but tailored to flight instructors who devote a majority of their instructional time to helicopters.
The Master Helicopter designation establishes higher professional standards to which helicopter instructors can aspire, and for which helicopter instructors who maintain those high standards can be recognized.  To qualify, a minimum of 50% of the activities submitted by applicants must be helicopter related.
Consistent with the original Master Instructor accreditations introduced in 1997, the new MCFI-H acknowledges an individual’s continuing professional growth and involvement in a broad spectrum of aviation endeavors while recognizing an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth, and service to the aviation community. The two-year MCFI-H designation can be used for CFI certificate renewal as well, and is approved for FAA WINGS credit.
Program creators Sandy and JoAnn Hill have been serving the Master Instructor community since 1995.  In 2009 they formed Master Instructors LLC to bring greater autonomy and impartiality to their program, which is open to all qualified applicants regardless of their other aviation affiliations.  Noted author, aviation educator, helicopter instructor and Master CFI Michael Maya Charles of Erie, Colorado, has joined the Master Instructor Board of Review to evaluate MCFI-H portfolios.
See http://www.MasterInstructors.org/ for additional information and application forms.
2011 Navy Swim Camp
Registration is now officially open for the 2011 Navy Swimming Camp. At this time, we are accepting brochure as well as online applications. The online registration is more consolidated. If you have registered online in the past, we expect that you will find the 2011 process easier and less time consuming. Information regarding how to get signed up is explained on the page dedicated for registration; http://navyswimmingcamp.com/NAVY_Swimming_Camp/Application.html
Of note, Lejeune Hall will be under renovation for a lengthy period including the 2011 camp season. We are fortunate to have multiple aquatic venues at the Naval Academy allowing us to still offer an outstanding program. The only difference is that all pool sessions will take place in McDonough Hall. As a result and to maintain an emphasis on the quality of the camp, we will be capping the camp at a lower number (TBD.)
Look for more information about the 2011 camp on the official camp website. Also, for quickest access to updates, follow us on Facebook and/or the camp Blog located within the camp website (www.navyswimmingcamp.com ).
The Final Weapon
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion, Training on 18/Dec/2010 20:22
The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield,
and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

Net Centric Warfare Webinar
Posted by Gary in Comms, Threat Watch, Training on 29/Nov/2010 17:29
Coevolution of NCW: Challenges with Cyberspace and Organizational Development
This FREE webinar will be on:
Thursday, December 16, 2010, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET
Presenter: Maj. Trisha Carpenter
The U.S. military is facing an entire new front in warfare, the cyber domain. Controlling and dominating this new technological theater is becoming critically important as U.S. Military leadership relies heavily on computer networks to communicate, gather INTEL, and even launch weapons and coordinated strikes. At the same time the military is striving to perfect the concept of Net Centric Warfare to effectively use technology to gain advantage and superiority over enemy forces. Two main obstacles may stand in the way of a successful transformation from the current haphazard state of cyberspace operations to a more productive future state required of Network Centric Warfare (NCW). The first obstacle is the military’s lack in knowledge of cyberspace operations. The second obstacle is the difficulty in understanding organizational change. This Webinar first presents a working definition of NCW to show how cyberspace and organizational change are related in the form of coevolution. It then discusses the organizational growth challenges faced by any organization operating in this domain, with a focus on the security missions likely to be given to cyber commands.
In this webinar participants will learn:
• An Operational Illustration of NCW
• Key Challenges in Cyberspace:
• Technical Environment: Cyber Triad
• Non-Technical Environment: Organizational Design
