Sounds like a great class. You should take it on the road sometime.

As usual the training was unique, pioneering, subtle and exceedingly informative!

Matt,
It was interesting trying to teach this stuff to average civilians.
The movement drills inside the vehicle were physically demanding to say the least, in terms of flexibility and natural movement. People need to do more yoga
As I tried to stress throughout the class, a non armored vehicle is not something you want to fight from. They are bullet magnets, and offer very little real protection at all. Thus, the majority of the training was geared on how to ditch the car and get out to a safer location.

Agreed. AAR inbound sometime tomorrow when I get the chance. Thank both of you very much for opening it up to the folks here at M4C, I'm looking forward to getting into a pistol course with you guys soon(or a shotgun class if there's one coming up and I get my 870 running again.)
Matt, good to see you post here...you should stop by more often and keep us Houston area folks in the loop as to what courses are happening.
BTW...despite being lessons learned in a war zone, there was much that can and should be applied to daily life/driving. I'd never even considered efficiently getting in or out. Then again, maybe it's time to go balls out and turn my Element into an armored war wagon...complete with quality door latches.
ETA: IraqNinja, what bag was your vehicle medical kit in?

My workload and the holiday are gonna prevent me from posting til this weekend. So as not to steal your thunder, I will just add my thoughts and takeaways to your post. It was good meeting you both and I look forward to more training opportunities and future get togethers.
Regards,
Scott
Having taken 2 handgun courses and private carbine instruction from MAST, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in Houston or the surrounding area.
