Now you're talking...

This is the training I've been waiting for. Protective Services Detail aka High Risk Personnel Security Team aka Bodyguard. At least it sounds like the training I've been waiting for. The course is eight days long so I'm not 100% sure what they have in store for us, but they've mentioned motorcade driving, anti-ambush training, instinctive firearms training and stuff like that. They also mentioned evasive driving. Like the famed "pit maneuver", "J" turns and ramming through vehicle blockades.

The basis for the training is for when we have to escort VIP's. A VIP could be a celebrity, high ranking military, dignitaries, ambassadors, senators, etc. Today was all classroom material, thank God, because my heel was killing me. Hopefully it gets better before this training picks up speed. I thought about posting a picture of my blister, but I'll spare you. So instead here is a pic of me in class trying to stay awake.
