Someone teach this cop to shoot!

[Wambli Ska]

Nobody died. And they were good students. Attentive and enthusiastic willing to learn (with room to learn) and showed improvement. Hot as hell, I even broke out the mobile awnings so they could shoot in the shade and not die. Even at that, had one puke 10-12 times from dehydration and “drinking too much water too fast”. Even though his partner told me he was at a party the night before.
But, he was safe about it. Would holster his pistol or ground his rifle, ask permission to puke, and run to the side berm, puke, and run back to the line to continue firing. Kept telling him he could go sit down but he said he didn’t want to miss anything. After about the tenth time, I TOLD him to sit down on a cooler next to me and watch so he could still learn. Our medic offered him an IV at the end of training and he accepted. Gotta give him props.
That was Monday on the range. He came back today to run through CQB training like a champ.

Poor choices but you have to admire his commitment.

As a boss told me once when a co-worker was late after a night of drinking: “he needs to toughen up. Professionals play hurt”

During a national sales meeting in New Orleans our VP announced on the first day. “I know where we are and that most of you will be playing hard at night, EVERY night. I’ll be there to join you.

Just remember that our daily sessions start at 8:00am sharp every morning. So the good news is I will pull a random name out of the attendees list every day and that person wins a Rolex watch! (wild applause) But if I call your name and you’re not here, you’ll be fired. (crickets). Now go have some fun…
