Anyone who offers needed training for free is a good guy in my book.
If I lived closer I would be there.
Have a good one.

I'd be interested in driving up from Colo Spgs to check this out. Free is free and it sounds like there will be a lot of good information.
 
So of the 28+ RSVPs I had, 15 showed up. Class went REALLY quickly, 90m just flew by. I had a couple of clunky spots where I had inserted some civilian focused material, but it'll be polished for the next time I do this class for sure. Went very well otherwise and I'm getting some good feedback on the local boards.

Fun stuff! (I'll make sure the next one is weekend time compatible)
 
I attended Kelly's class last night. I found it to be very informative and it put the students in a position where they would think about their surrounds a little more.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a base level for their future training or even wants a refresher that hasn't attended a class in some time. Training is a perishable skill that will go away if you don't continue to feed it.

The class was an excellent length as well - at 90 minutes no one had time to let their brains wander off and daydream. Conversely, the class was long enough so as to not bombard students with too much information in too short a period of time.

Again, it was an excellent class that provided good information from a number of great sources and even had some video vignettes to put students through. I believe he is planning on holding this class again soon - so if you are interested make sure to grab a slot.
 
I attended the class last night. It was very informative and had information that you could use if you carried or not. I thought there would be more discussion from the class but not many spoke up. Over all very good presentation.

Semper Fi
 
i attended the class also. lots of good information to think about. lots of very valid points. i'll likely be seeking more training from Kelly in the future.
