Nothing Now but the last 6 years before I retired I was a product of Project Outboard. Forward Deployed Intell. We actually did learn something from Pueblo and Liberty, Don't put spooks on old retired converted Supply Ships and Science Ships, Put them on Major Combatants that way if someone gets Pissy about us listening to them and tries something we got plenty of firepower, SUBROC, Tomahawk, Harpoon, SM-2, 5"54 Cal, CIWS, 50 CAL, 60 CAL, Chain Gun, Plenty of tools. Lots and lots of Practice from me and other Members of the Combat Systems Training Team.

Well 1sg considering the fact that my BN is the Lethal Warriors we already are above peers as it is.

On a serious note, train the basics until they can do it while sleep walking, then progress from there. Even though every live fire is so scripted you can't even flinch without someone up on your shit. But always changing it up. Empower Jr leaders. Our special teams fully embrace what they are, aid and littler have hlz marking kits, sme's on cas and med evacs. EPW teams have all the means for detainee op's and know how to operate bat/hide systems. No one in my PLT/SQD is jobless. They take ownership of their jobs and conduct cross training within the SQD/TM

We train killers. Rangers Lead The Way

Not a damn thing currently. My TDA doesn't have any "green" equipment at all. "Field" is that place behind the Reserve centers.

Got my last MTOE Brigade close to a "1", though. Kind of looking forward to getting back to that, assuming I don't decide to PCS to Ft Living Room.

Nothing anymore, but I continuously train and prep to ensure my family is taken care of if it hits the fan.
