GENERAL:
When attending CSAT classes in the future, please have:
· Electronic Ears
· Tourniquet
· Thumb drive
The reasoning behind the Electronic Ears is simple. We want you to hear range commands on the line and during scenarios. Input can be made without shouting.
As for Tourniquets, I watch many people who have one on their gear not use it as they don’t want to remove it from the pouch or the plastic. If your tourniquet is so fragile that it cannot be used for training, you need to buy a different one. You should have training tourniquets as well. If you need one, the Pro Shop will happily sell you one.
Finally, bring a thumb drive as it has never been easier and cheaper to collect class information and handouts than at this time in history.
THE CSAT WAY ON FACEBOOK AND PATREON AND YOUTUBE
It looks like the CSAT YouTube page is taking off. It is time to educate the non-believers.
We continue working on new video content for the Patreon Operator and Patreon Instructor. We currently have 227 videos on the site.
You can visit “The CSAT Way” on FaceBook for video updates.
THE WORLD-ISRAEL
Some thoughts:
All Arab/Muslim countries hate Israel and want them gone.
No country will give up land for the Pals (Palestinians).
The Pals have been kicked out of every country in the region as they start trouble. The original King Hussein of Jordan, kicked them out in the 1950's.
Muslim/Arab countries want them as a dagger to thrust into Israel. Always have, always will.
The Sunni/Shia split in religions (power) will keep the Middle East solidly against one another until one side kills the other. I am rereading my Middle East Studies book from college as it has propaganda articles from both sides.
Groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, AQ, ISIS and the next one that pops up all hate Israel.
The Pals will host any group that comes along and shares their hate of the Jews.
The Pals are a support mechanism for terror. You probably can guess where I stand on that.
Disperse the Pals' throughout the Middle East and let other Muslim/Arabs countries deal with them in smaller clusters as they will be easier to control.
OUR COUNTRY AND REPRESENTATIVES
Sometimes our Representatives are a mirror of our population…
OUR PEOPLE
We have a generation that wants instant feedback without any effort. As our external challenges mount, so do our internal.
TCOLE
I sent my paperwork into TCOLE and received my Firearms Instructor Proficiency and Basic Instructor Proficiency Certificate.
I will give LEO’s copies when they attend a CSAT class.
TEXA FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR (2222) AND PATROL RIFLE INSTRUCTOR
We just finished our combined course, and it went well. Long days and great instructor students. All passed the State and CSAT standards.
The instructors did well and passed the knowledge on to the two-day class students, both civilian and law enforcement.
If your agency wants to send officers to the course in the future, we can build a class around your base.
The next scheduled course is 6-11 Feb and 5-10 March of 2024.
Certificates you can receive:
· CSAT Master Instructor Certificate 72 hours
· Texas Firearms Instructor 2222 42 Hours
· Patrol Rifle Instructor 30 Hours
Ensure you review and practice the state qualification requirements for day one. Only two attempts are given for the pistol and shotgun qualification.
LEADERSHIP SEMINARS
I have had more requests for leadership seminars and can do a half or full-day program. Looking at Federal and State Governments, we have a void or loss of basic leadership principles and skills.
