Although late getting to this party let me add my .02 cents. Another TTP that has worked since Christ was a Corporal ( I think Richard was his 1SG )...is have your Range/Ammo/ Training (whoever) get a copy of the range bulletin from range control. Find out who's using what range when...make contact and try to co-use. This is especially useful for short notice or opportunity training. It also gives the other element a chance to incorporate their entire element into their training while you pull support and vice versa.

Here is an example of an email I received today from Quantico shooting club at Quantico Us Marine Base.

If snow disrupts troop training and the troops need to have the range in order to finish their training everything else takes second place. Priority #1 displaces all other activities.

Absolutely true. at least with my experience when 5th moved to Campbell.
As long as the "day" was Saturday or Sunday. But, it WAS fun.

That's when you get one of your team guys to "help him out"...because you know how busy he is and offer to run the "paperwork" down for him.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
