Thought that this was interesting. The Instructors makes some valid points; in my humble opinion.

Is the video of a spider the one you wanted to show?

Link is now correct in original post.

I'd just give up if I was you now!

[jcioccke]

I just tested it, it works. But I agree lol

Live rounds during surprise training never sounds like a good idea imho.

Someone's gonna get hurt one day. I wouldn't like the prospect of backup being potentially hours away either. It certainly looks like a very different job in regards to law enforcement.

I dig it. Big time Looks like the job istself will weed ou the weak.

Thats BA...blood and all.

Very intense training. Not sure I would be wanting to go toe toe like the trooper did with the training officer with live rounds in my weapon. I agree with FireManMike. That's an accident waiting to happen sometime in the future.

Well they sure as hell won't be using blanks in the field for the "on the job" training, more power to them...

[JPSO Recruit]

I could never do that. Back up days away, taking a plane everywhere, and fricken balls cold weather. More power to those who do that job.

And here I've complained of back up being 15-30 minutes away. God Bless those guys, it ain't the back up I'd be worried about...it's the frickin mind numbing cold!
