    So we have a name. How about who the person is? What type of guy would we be learning from? Former military? If so, any actual deployments with legit experience? Current/Former Law Enforcement? Etc...... I'm not trying to be a smarta$$ or anything, but I've been looking into taking some classes myself, and prefer to learn from people with actual real world experiece, not someone who read a book and passed a test...
    Hopefully he replies regardless of his experience it’s nice to have transparent instructors.

    I've asked this question to a couple "potential instructors". Haven't yet gotten a real reply. I'm not asking to know about details of ops you were on while enlisted, or how many murderers you caught as a cop. I couldn't care less being a vet myself. But I would at least like to know something along the lines of let's say,? I e. I was in the Marine Corps as a Member of a F.A.S.T. team deployed to the middle east for 4 years. When I got out I worked Law Enforcement for x years and decided I'd rather train, so I got my certifications to be a trainer and here I am... As an example... That would be more than enough. Just tell me in some way that you have some real world experience and you actually know wtf you're doing...

    I think that’s completely reasonable and smart to do. CTT Solutions (Mike Pannone) posted this yesterday and Lewis Frost actually sent it to me. It’s quite timely and on point.
