Took my class tonight. Really informative but also very simple. I'll be putting together a couple of kits to keep in the vehicles and probably one to keep in my travel bag/man purse I carry with me everyday to work.
We had 18 in our class. 6 or 7 were part of different church security team start-ups. That was interesting.
I've been thinking about this. Any interest in a "no frills" taught class? Something that strips away the pleasantries and deals with facts and real life scenarios. Not just wound simulation, TQ's, and gauze. Meaning fake blood and someone screaming at you.STB classes are typically free, however instructors can charge a minimal fee to cover the cost of hosting.
There’s no minimum for attendance, but obviously more attendees is better return on our time investment. That being said, I’ll teach three people if they want to learn.
Let me double check when our next official class is and I’ll get back on the thread. I think it’s in the next two weeks. I’ll also probably post up a new thread for it.

Having attended these sort of things, I often find a throttled back version is the norm. Not wanting to shock and awe. Let's face it, this sort of event is as stressful as it gets. Thoughts?
My class is pretty no frills as it is, LOL. I’m a cop, former K9 handler and tactical team guy, and emergency management professional. I don’t hold back during my courses.
Now if you’re talking about hemorrhage control and TQ application under stress, I could probably add that at the end. I don’t have wet (simulated blood) training aids so that does add another wrench into the monkey.

As a private in the Army I played and lost three or more games a night with another guy. He was much better than I. I lost literally hundreds, maybe more than a thousand games to him over several months.
One night I recognized where he was going and by skill that I had learned from him, not luck, I beat him.
That was the last game we ever played, because he refused to play again.
The class in Franklin was great. I ordered two tactical tourniquets and have them in my kit and know how to use them if needed. I had always held off on getting one before. Thanks for the heads up.
