There Are NO Changes To The Training Schedule

On March 17, 2020 By ncscoutIn Uncategorized5 Comments

ALCON: there are no, I say again, NO changes to the training schedule. If a course is scheduled to happen, IT WILL HAPPEN, period. Further, if you've reserved a spot in a course and no show, that's on you. You took a spot from someone else that was turned away. This is not the end …

I've got a course in NJ scheduled for CQB and Urban Force on Force.

Hurricane Dorian Info and Schedule Updates

On September 1, 2019September 1, 2019 By ncscoutIn Uncategorized

I've had a lot of people ask about Dorian and how it might impact the tracking class this coming weekend. At this time, Dorian is on track to skirt the coast of NC with the central part of the state getting just over .14in of rain between Thursday and Friday. So the class is still …
