I have been accepted to my agencies special operations group and have been given the assignment of gathering information for tactical building entries. Most of the team is new with little or no tactical experience. My assignment is to provide the newer members with this information. Any suggestions?

go to a local army/navy surplus store and ask the owner for what you are looking for.

I was in Ft Hood for 4 years.  We just moved to Ft Jackson last Nov.  My husband is a Drill Sgt here.  If you have any questions about Hood, feel free to message me!

There are multiple graduations at Ft Benning every friday (Basic, Airborne, Ranger, Pathfinder, etc.)  Because of this, there's a mess of hotels around the base.  You might want to look into it and make a reservation for a room and a car.

I would keep trying to contact someone at Ft. Bragg until you get some information. He has to be on a data base there somewhere. Good luck.

I didn't write either of these; they both came from the below source. See it if you need additional help.\n\n"MISSION 17: GENEVA CONVENTION\nTarget score: Level complete, Survival bonus & one extra bonus (It says you can\nget two in\nmission statue but it’s a load of rubbish, a bad glitch)"\n\n"What a horrible mission. You are up against five spies who like using gas and\nTNT. The map\nis also pretty horrible to get to grips with and is made worse by the fact that\nthe enemies are\nnot identified on the map and the low timer. Just lay into them with all your\nbest and most\npowerful weapons (airbursts and TNT) and try not to get lost. Eventually a\nweapons crate will\nbe dropped in, use your jetpack to get it and use it to trash the building\ncontaining the two\npromotion points. If any of your pigs get low on health then just hide them.\n\nNote: Promote your fourth pig to commando."\n\nHope this helps!

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) website has a lot of information about disaster response including an SAR Operations document in Microsoft Word. (see sources below)\n\nThere is a lot more disaster response information on their website as well.

pretty much perfect, i would change only the following:\n\nI am [removed also.  no need for it, since you have not expressed any other concerns previous to this sentence.] concerned for the safety of anyone who may be in the building at other times. There are potential dangers in a building that is under construction, [add comma] especially if the construction crew doesn’t know you are in the building.\n\nIn order to be sure the construction crew is aware of your presence [you used the phrase "in the bulding" to finish the previous paragraph.  avoid repetition.], I am asking you to please [added please.  it's both cordial and professional to say please when requesting something from employees.]sign in with the security office during non-business [added hyphen] hours. In addition, the construction crew has requested that {added "that."  grammatical.] you use the front entrance, as opposed to the east or west entrances.\n\n\nhope this helps.

Call or visit the nearest USAF Recruiting Office for help.  I'm sure they like us Army types will be more than happy to assist. Just remember, you are a civilian, never try to pass yourself off as someone else.  I caution you only because we are having trouble now with people who are doing that.  It's against the law to do that.  Admiring the jacket and wanting to be accurate however, is great!!  I wish you the best of luck.  LTC M, USA, RET

The Swat Team was developed in 1975. The original team of five officers was sent to Quantico,Va for training at FBI Academy. In 1980, the Selective Enforcement Bureau (SEU)/Swat Squad was started. The swat team had two sergeants and eight officers. Over the years the swat team has expanded several times to its current staffing of 25 officers and supervisors.\n\n    The swat team is automatically deployed in situations involving barricaded/armed suspects with hostages, sniper attacks, security of visiting dignitaries, rescue operations in police related situations, protecting Fire & Police in mob actions, arsonists and insurgents, and assisting supervisors in the deployment of special weapons and chemical agents.\n\nQualifications: To become a member of the Tactical Team, the officer must have at a minimum of two years with the department  prior to being accepted on the team. The officer then must get supervisory approval from his/her immediate supervisor with concurrence of their Lieutenant prior to the testing process.\n\n    The testing phase consists of a physical agility test, Firearms test, Oral Board test, work history review, 1 week Basic Swat School, a Tactical Team Peer/Supervisor review, and Psychological Examination.\n\n    Once an officer is selected to join the Team, he/she has already completed the Basic Swat School Training. The Team trains once a month with both centralized and decentralized members. The Sniper Team trains an additional two times per month, with a total of three days a month. The monthly training's are considered in house training's.\n\n    The Team at times trains with other local, state, or federal agencies when given the opportunity. Training is not just limited to in house training. Each year the Team Commander and Sergeants identify additional training's in state and out of state to send members of the team to. Officers must maintain a physical fitness standard  and test yearly.\n\n    The Tactical Team training consist of covert entries, hostage rescue entries, rappelling, weapons training with handgun and specialty weapons, vehicle assaults, rescue operations, helicopter insertions, and yearly physical fitness testing ( cooper standards).\n\nFor additional information, please contact the Tempe Police Department\nor visit their web pages Selective Enforcement Unit - S.W.A.T.\n \n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEmail questions or comments about this section of our web site to Brandon_Banks@tempe.gov\n© Copyright City of Tempe 1994-2006  \nAbout the TPD\n2003 Annual ReportEmploymentHistoryVolunteeringMemorial PagePolice Honor GuardOn Line Forms\nVacation WatchExtra Patrol RequestDrug Activity ReportTraffic Complaint911 SurveyDivisions\nPatrol DivisionInvestigations DivisionUnsolved CasesSupport Services DivisionCrime AnalysisCrime Info\nCrime PreventionCrime AnalysisCrime StatsSex Offender ProgramAlarms

There should still be people staffing the base where his unit was stationed. Call the base and see if they can give you an APO address or if they can hook you up with the base postal facility.

When I was in scouts, my dad did a few eagle boards of review for some of the kids in my troop.  He said that basically they want to see how prepared for life that you are.  They ask what your plans are, and how you plan to carry them out.  They also ask about your time in scouts, and how and what you have learned.  They don't ask for specific demonstrations of knots, or first aid.  It is more geared to how he has grown and how he is planning on becoming a good citizen.   I hope this helped.  Tell him good luck, but he probably won't need it.

I retired after 22 yrs of military duty in the U S Navy.  I was a naval police ( Master - At - Arms ), with the K9 division.  I worked with / assisted Navy SEALs', Army Special Forces, Marine Recons, FBI, NCIS, FDA, DEA, Secret Service, U S Marshalls, U S Customs, various city / county / state / and Federal agencies, both U.S. and over seas, and U S Coast Guard.  I've been on task force teams, in helo's, assault watercraft, raids, line of defense for restricted areas, worked with FEMA on guarded escorts for supplies, pursuit of armed suspects, plenty of excitement for a life time.  Most of this was tied to being a K9 handler / trainer / instructor.  If you like ( no love ) police work and K9s then I guarantee you can have as much action as you want.

I'm active USMC.  try anymarine.com, anysailor.com, anysoldier.com and anyairman.com.  They support the military deployed to Iraq and other war zones.  They would have some great ideas for how to get in contact with people overthere.

Here it is, Troop:\nThe "book", think of it as an "I love me book". It should have all the information that got you to this point in your career. The upfront stuff would be your current APFT and counceling statements. But you are trying to sell yourself for as a candidate to the board members. Include copies of your awards and badges you've earned, don't forget those Letters of Appreciation signed by a LTC and above. Include copies of certificates of special training and any college classes you've taken. If you've done some legit volunteer work it shows you've spent time develping yourself as soldier and gave back to the community. The best thing to do is go to your AKO and print your Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ) and use it as a check list. The board members want to see the details of why you are such a good Soldier. \n\nMake a copy of everything (use color if you can), put them in document protectors and get a plain three-ring binder to put them all together. It would be helpful if you used tabbed dividers to organize the sections. AWARDS, SCHOOLS (military and civilian), ADIMINISTIVE, and if you want to be a high speed PFC go get a DA photo made. It's a lot of extra cheese but it won't hurt and its free.\n\nSSG B., 1 ID, 1-63AR
