You are right. Totally my fault for bringing knowledge of/experience with the topic to the discussion.

Having planned and participated in insertions for all three types of the locations, parachuting (particularly static-line parachuting) is a less preferable insertion method absent additional...
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks. I reached out to a few people as well.
Yes. I saw that. My question was more along the lines of, if an agency/organization voluntarily chose to use the NTOA standard, who assessed whether they actually met the standard and with what...
That is very interesting information. I appreciate the links.
I am not sure it answers my original question. How is the capability being claimed validated? Is it through self-reporting or through...
Apologies for taking the thread down a tangent, but how are the NTOA standards listed validated? Is there some sort of independent accreditation/certification process or does the Sheriff/Chief...
Legitimacy of the need aside, there is a bit more involved in conducting an airborne operation than being able to exit an aircraft.
For the tactical athlete, I have been impressed with, and seen good results from, Rob Shaul's programming.

Did a bunch of group shooting in lieu of my normal bullseye course to check the zero on a new front sight.
Shot this 150-point Aggregate; 5 freestyle, 5 SHO, 5 WHO, all slow fire.
147-3x. ...
Companion?
First five rounds (slow fire) from today’s Bullseye course using a new 9mm 1911.
36501
The remainder was strong, but unremarkable; 287-3x. Right bias could have been the sun. I will shoot it as...
Thank you.

Family lore says my grandfather “brought it back from the war.” I have no idea if that is true but it has been in the family for more than 60 years.
I checked the serial number on Colt’s website....
I think that is a prudent plan.
You might consider taking some of the money you were planning to spend on acquiring a 1911 and the associated equipment, and applying it to a private lesson...
I think if you go back a reread what I wrote, you will see that I said you should really consider a decision to move to the 1911. I went on to say - and I am paraphrasing myself - that moving to the...
I never found zeroing an IR laser at night under NVGs to be particularly onerous. I would agree a visible laser makes the entire process of zeroing much more convenient.
It is entirely possible to cultivate a reasonably high degree of skill (think Light Pin level on the Gabe White standards) shooting 50 rounds per week/200 rounds per month. The key is disciplined...
Kyle Lamb is a retired Sergeant Major, not Master Sergeant.
Shot this target on the Bullseye CoF I typically use as a warm-up. I was well on my way to cleaning it when I pulled one high on my first string of five in fifteen seconds. 😡 Still my best...
I shot this again this morning, but decided to use this CoF to replace the slow fire portion of the Bullseye course I usually warm up with; not as good...
9-ring: 4
10-ring: 4
X-ring: 1
Score...
