"...I wanted to thank you for your fine teaching for us all that were in your course last week! I appreciate your patience and detailed instruction, even though at times I disappointed myself by not getting it completely right.

I could tell by the end of the week that my shooting and technique (still needing much improvement) was so much better I was pleased and amazed.

[We] are grateful to you for your great efforts.." - John

"On behalf of the four Canadian Forces members who attended this course and me, I wish to pass on our appreciation to [our trainer] for the excellent course he ran. [His] expertise as a firearms instructor was immediately recognized by the candidates.  His professionalism, experience and knowledge coupled with his ability to impart the lessons in a highly interesting and dynamic fashion made it a very worth while experience for all concerned.  Though each of the candidates arrived with different levels of experience and skill both with the weapon systems and as instructors, [he] was able to ensure they were capable of achieving the course standard. "

"Just wanted to take moment of your time and extend my sincere appreciation for being able to spend few days at the training center and absorb tremendous amount of your knowledge.

I really enjoyed the course and the class. Your proficiency and technique was extra ordinary and your ability to share and teach was unbelievable.

I am looking forward to attending more courses at the Center and I hope to meet you again in the soon future.

Thanks again, Bruce"

"I just wanted to thank you for the great week of training you put on.  I have not stopped talking about it with the guys I work with.  The sniper element of the team I am on will be using some of the tips and drills when we train.  I am sure the other guys will enjoy them as much as we did.  Again thank you for an awesome week.  Take Care."  Bob L.

"In addition to the kudos that I gave you guys on the course evaluation form, I wanted to say thank you again.  It was a really great class and it completely exceeded all of my expectations.  My goal was to be comfortable handling and using a handgun and I gained so much more than that.  While I hope I never have to put the skills into practice defending myself or my son, I feel like I now have the tools necessary to do that wisely and safely.  It was great to finish up on Range 1, it felt like everything really came together—I had a soft malfunction and I flowed naturally into tap, rack and assess without raising my hand to report a misfire.

You guys are truly top quality.  The significant experience that each of you has conveys into the teaching and application in the class.  I was very impressed and I can easily see why this facility is the gold standard to which others aspire/imitate.

If there’s every anything I can help you with, please feel free to reach out."

"Over the course of my career I have compiled dozens of both operator and instructor training certificates.  I have had some good instructors and some that were just plain poor..  Last week we had [you three].  I can’t think of a single thing that any of you guys did or said that was not perfect.  You kept things moving and interesting all the time. Each of you knew your block of instruction inside and out.  You guys definitely raised my performance as an instructor to the next level.  I’ll be back next year even if it’s on my own dime.  Thanks for a great learning experience." - Lt. Rick M.

You guys did a great job – smooth, knowledgeable, consistent, professional, and when the time was right, fun as all get out. These are rare instructional qualities and you’ve got them.

Thanks for all the hard work and guidance. I wish we had one more day to do a second “live” search and rescue. I screwed up a couple of times and I hate to leave any training with a knot head hanging out. The middle school thing gave me a couple of flashbacks to the time when I chased some unknown yahoo through a packed Walgreens and another time when we chased Danny Rollings (the mass murderer) through the woods in the middle of the night at Gainesville – goose bumps.

My best wishes to each of you and blessings on long and successful careers.

Regards, John F., Florida

"Just wanted to say thanks again for the great training. You guys charged my SWAT batteries. Can't wait to share some of it with my team. Keep up the good work and God bless." - Dave A.

"I would like to provide some feedback on a US Training Center Course I just completed.  Last week I was part of a two gun course given at Little Creek Naval Base for NSW.  The instructors facilitated the best course I have ever taken.  They both possessed boundless knowledge on the subject and expert proficiency with the weapons systems we trained on.  They were incredibly safety aware and tuned in to the individual needs of the students.  All lessons were taught very effectively and time was managed very well, something I can't say for any military functions. I appreciate their hard work and request that you forward this on to their supervisors so they are aware how well your instructors are performing. - Very respectfully, LT, USN"
