training: why dont we share our knowledge with others
Some of the things im gonna say may upset other members and for that im sorry. Im a soldier, former law enforcment officer(civillian) and i got to thinking why dont we share what we have learned with the younger or not trained members of our airsoft community. I have been trained in SWAT tacics, certified to train in short range marksmanship, and several other styles. Why dont we spend more time or offer time and advise to those in the community that are wanting to learn. i dont believe that teaching basic tactics to these individuals is wrong. In fact i think that it would increase game play and make it more exciting for everyone. Its not like these guys are going to take what we train them and try to stage a riot or anything but i believe that it will make the skirmishes more challenging and real feeling. Some of the people that play try to use what they see on video games and turn it in to real life and we all know that does not work all the time. and when it doesn't they become frustrated and quit. there are several members that have vast experence that is just going to waste or only being used in their little circles. why cant we set up a section where members voluteer tips advice and stradegy for others. my fear is that when someone posts something though instead of using it for it potentieal the discussion will turn into slamming the training and saying its not real or does not work just because its not the way you have been trained. I would love to hear people thoughts on this subject

sounds great sounds like there is one good source for training, who else has training they would like to share. I can throw in SWAT tactics, PIER(Patrol Interdiction Emergency Response) CERT (Cell Extraction Responce Team) tactics that works well for CQB and tip and tactic for short range marksmenship, and im sure there are more than just us on this site i would love to hear from other members what kind of training they have so that there is more than just a couple of sources for info for people.

This is an idea that i have tried to apply since i started in paintball in the'80's...as a long time infantryman and soldier i try with each new member to give them the basics of fire and movement as per the US Army Ranger Handbook...and the old reliable FM's.....in fact out here at my place we are dreaming of a "Combat Camp" style group of gatherings..where individuals and groups could come and work on basics in the surrounding land and National forest that is all around our place...nmever thought of simply writing about it...good idea...how do we make it fly???....David

Honestly if we all pool our knowledge we can write a handbook for small teams to teach themselves; the good old FM's and TM's are great but the vast majority of players in the airsoft community either dont have access to them or dont know what they are looking for not to mention that most of that information is written in military terminology and abbreviations that most people dont really understand. If we take that info as well as our experience and write in in plain english it will be the best instruction manual any airsofter or woodsballer could have.
