<ul>
<li>carbine and pistol fundamentals</li>
<li>navigation block focused on both map and compass and GPS use </li>
<li>mindset talk and a short small unit tactics block</li>
<li>The “Winter Modern Minuteman Competition”; this multi-hour shooting/ navigation and other skills competition will test your endurance and your ability to shoot, move and communicate.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>A base level of fitness; be able to walk 5 miles with a 30lbs pack</li>
<li>Competent and 100% safe with pistol and carbine (you need to have completed a pistol and a carbine course with either myself, Kyle Defoor, Bill Blowers, Northern Red, or another reputable trainer (or have someone I know vouch for you — If you are not sure, contact me)</li>
</ul>
<ul></ul>
<p>This is a physically demanding course that requires a baseline of fitness to participate.</p>
