GENERAL:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You survived Christmas. Now the hard part begins.
Within about 3 hours of the New Year, we have a terrorist attack. Wow. That did not take long. It will take years to clean out the terrorist sewage that has infiltrated our country, that were imported or radicalized and homegrown.

Grab some popcorn and stand by. It is guaranteed to be an interesting ride….
2025 TRAINING
We have a “soft” calendar started at this point. If you have groups or need training, let me know, and we can get it on the schedule. This means if you have a small group, we can build a class around your dates and backfill it.
I keep room for special classes that always come up. It helps if you start planning now. Once someone commits, they own the dates.
CLASS/TRAINING INFO
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 a person 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 be happy to sell you one.
Finally, bring a thumb drive to collect class information and handouts.
THE CSAT WAY ON FACEBOOK AND PATREON
THE MIGHTY NETWORK
Our new comprehensive training website is up—over 450 videos and articles.
We are cutting back our footprint on YouTube and will reestablish it on another website.
We continue to work on new video content for the Patreon Operator and Patreon Instructor. The site currently has over 227 videos.
You can visit “The CSAT Way” on FaceBook for video updates.
BARRACKS
While the barracks has saved many a student money in the past, I must unfortunately raise the rent. To stay there for a two- or three-day class, it is $100 extra to class tuition. Power, water, AC/Heat has all gone up as well as maintenance and maintenance contracts. Send any complaints to Joe Biden, PODUS. Also, if you are a current LEO paying on your own dime, the barracks increase does not apply to you. This will take place in the Fall
PRO SHOP/STEEL
We have a clearance on Knives and Hawks. Contact the shop for details.
“Check in at csattss.com for our line of Tomahawks and limited-edition blades.”
MEMES:
RANGE
It is getting cooler and it makes the maintenance and training more enjoyable.

IN CLOSING
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on the range.

Very informative post. Digital marketing strategies like SEO and PPC are really important for online growth.
The January 2025 training updates look well-structured, and the added focus on clear, repeatable field procedures should make it easier for teams to stay consistent under pressure. Appreciated the emphasis on Missing Persons workflows—especially the reminder that NamUs offers free training and outreach support that agencies can tap into. Keeping those resources and standardized case information-sharing tools in the refresh should help speed coordination across jurisdictions when minutes matter.
