AAR: Green Ops 2-day LPVO class (June 11-12, 2022)

BEST PARTS OF THIS CLASS
1. The teacher: student ratio of 4 instructors for 15 students was incredible. This afforded incredible safety and personal instruction and attention.
2. The care and attention of the staff. The instructors were very attentive to not only our learning but also our health. Chris especially moved the shaded canopies around throughout the day so that we could stay in the shade.
3. Performing in 108–109-degree heat. This really tested my stamina, hydration, and equipment. The clothing was essential. My Crye combat pants were horrible in the heat. So were my Propper hot weather pants. Both seemed to trap the heat in. However, the Kryptek Sonora pant was perfect. It felt cool and breathable as well as protective.

Despite the fact that many of us were running various optic systems with various zeros the instructors took the time to work with the students who were newer to the platform. We then moved into magazine reloads and malfunctions, and followed this with various other live fire drills, including the Green Ops Rifle Standards drill. We took lunch and listened to further light instruction while eating, which I thought made very good use of the time we had. After lunch we moved into more advanced type shooting positions and class competitions. This is where I had the most fun.

The final event of the day was the capstone drill, which was prefaced by a really abbreviated explanation of how to shoot around cars. I felt it was so perfunctory I would have just skipped it and said “the car is cover”, but Max demonstrated such a clever way of shooting across the hood without exposing yourself as much to skipped rounds that it really felt worthwhile. Sometimes, it’s really the small details that demonstrate the value of the instructor expertise that you’re paying for, and this felt like another one of those moments.
