View Full Version : 10th Mountian Shoot House Foibles..
I was out before live-fire shoot-houses were in.
But even with my limited VFOG knowledge,, I see some safety issues with this video.

As someone who has a triple-butt-load of shoothouse time, I could nit-pick that video to pieces. It is not a realistic apparatus and that unit's leadership was conducting training that the are ignorant of. Ignorance can be fixed, via the appropriate training. It is the Post's and Division's responsibility to provide the subordinate units the required training, and oversight of that training, that the unit will probably experience while in combat. Usually the controllers are not part of the assault team and in a position where they can call a stop to the event.
How come that CSM was not out there observing training?
I'm glad no one was injured, except the units' pride.

OK, I had to read this a couple of times. I read, "...a triple-butt-load of shotgun...". What? You got shot in the butt by a shotgun three times?
Well, the good news is that no one got hurt and everyone is going to learn something.
In light of how this went very public/viral, it would be super cool to see the very same soldiers clear the very same facility professionally and conduct an appropriate public facing AAR.
Make resolution and redemption as public as the ridicule.
After they’ve been gripped up and retrained properly and relentlessly.
“Amateurs train until they get it right, professionals train until they never get it wrong.”
Our adversaries are watching.

See the bullet holes the walls and doors the bullet traps they made are not working. Never mind the flagging problems from lack of training.
