Blackwater Civilian Training Courses

That was kind of my question, until these sackless cuntrags came on and started crying about how evil Blackwater and guns are. I thought this was Testosterone Nation, not “Bleeding Fucking Vagina Nation.”

Either way, it’s going to be something I’m going to look into. If anything, just the opportunity to train with some of these cats is a trip in itself. Like sparring with Roy Jones or rolling with Renzo, you know…

Judging by your profile pic and profession, somehow I don’t think you need those courses… :slight_smile: But more power to you.

Pistol shooting is a very perishable skill. It must be maintained if you are to stay proficient. And everyone can learn a little something extra.

I didnt know T-Nation was filled bunch of angry gun-loving rednecks. What is so enjoyable about them anyway? They make you feel powerful and respected ? In real life will you point it at me instead of telling me to ‘‘fuck off’’ with all this aggressivness?. You americans feel threatened all the time. What a great nation, everyone is trusting everyone. Then after you all bow to your flag, the symbol of your hostility, inequality and antipathy plagued-land and go on war hiring an private army so some corporation can get cheap oil.

Way to project how you’d feel with a gun in your hand. Really. Bravo.

I often hope that the sheep I keep alive will one day benefit society. But I see crap like what I have seen on this thread and it makes me sad and doubtful.

We’re not all angry gun loving rednecks . Here area few points, 1. you would not say this kind of stuff to our faces. 2. We would still tell you to fuck off, you have no idea what you are talking about. 3. I would ask you about your knowledge on guns. you wouldn’t know crap and then I would tell you to shut the fuck up.

And it would go on like that. You must be more French than Canadian.

In real life I wouldn’t have to tell you to fuck off. You wouldn’t open your mouth with this stupidity. If you did, you would very quickly close it.

Every time you and lildave post something stupid in this thread I’m going to buy another gun, more ammo, another year’s membership in the NRA and a Charlton Heston movie on DVD.

Those of us in Law Enforcement have a word for people with your particular strategy regarding perpetrators. That word is “victims.” We get to explain to your families that you are dead because you acted like a sheep instead of a sheepdog when a wolf came calling. Congrats, and pray that you never have to deal with the kind of people that run from guys like me. You are simply not equipped to do so, and that isn’t because you don’t have a gun, it’s because you don’t have the stones to stand up for yourself. Pathetic.

Not that I am saying I don’t think people should have guns, but what you described does sound like angry gun loving rednecks.

  1. You think you are really tough and people won’t say shit to you
  2. You think abusing someone who doesn’t agree with you is valid
  3. You are clearly gun loving

Maybe you’ll grow up one of these days.

I am gonna answer in points, since it is convenient

1-You wouldn’t tell me to fuck off in my face and I wouldn’t too
2-I don’t give a shit about gun
3- I dont care about confrontation, you can tell me I am an candy-ass all you want it do not prove your point

Didn’t read all the posts since a simple question thread rapidly devolved into America bashing from foreign idiots. If you don’t like firearms and hate Xe(Blackwater), then why would you enter a thread titled as such?

The comment was raised about living in fear or paranoia…I will paraphrase Col. Dave Grossman on this one-

There are three types of people inthe world, sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Sheep go through life with their heads in the sand. They know bad stuff happens, but “it won’t happen to me, and if it does, that’s what cops/military are for”.
Wolves know that sheep think this way, and prey on them.
Sheepdogs look more like wolves than sheep, and are equipped to be wolves, but choose to align themselves with the sheep. They protect the sheep and fight the wolf at any opportunity.

You have obviously chosen your spot(sheep), I choose to be the latter.

On a related note, before I deployed to Iraq, we were briefed on one of the things that was being done. The insurgents have moles on the bases, and they will go through the trash and find return addresses from the care boxes which have been shipped and then thrown away. The recipient’s name and home address is sent to an operative in the US. This operative will tehn go to SGT Smith’s house, knock on the door, and when the wife answers, say, “I know SGT Smith is in ___________ Iraq right now”. And then walk away. So far these have been mere harassment visits, but who knows when they could become violent attacks?

Good people sleep soundly in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf- George Orwell

I was just looking at the basic pistol one. Seems interesting, and I’d like to get into shooting a bit more. It’s something I’m thinking about doing in the future.

It would prove your a candyass and I would tell you to fuck off to your face all day, Your 6 ft and barely 180 and you reside in canada.Fuck off.

guns don’t kill people. Chuck Norris kills people!

And to aragon writing to sjocon that he doesnt “look” like he needs that course.Thats pretty aragant, How do you think he got that way.

All my buddies that are contractors have to go through a refreshment course every year to stay sharp.

Here is a pic of my buddy Gregs garage, He is ex airborne ranger and has been contracting for blackwater and others for 3-4 years and has been through the course.

He is obviously very afraid of his house getting broken into.

Ahh yes…with the lightening fast roundhouse kick

I was just introduced to the Grossman Essay today at the BLE and I do believe it has to be one of the most inspirational pieces I have read in a long time. I am definitely a Sheepdog, and plan to be prepared for all.

I think you misunderstood my post. It was a joke and a compliment to the man. I think he got that way through intense and serious training. My point was that I think the course wouldn’t have too much to offer him if he is currently using his skills and has been through that much training.

Lower the dose of T my friend.

I got what youre saying.
Besides it would have been more arrogant if it was me who had said it. And I am too awesome, good looking, and humble to be that arrogant.
