Our bases in Afghanistan are under constant insurgent attacks (mostly indirect fire). Last year both Kandahar and Bagram Airfileds had massive ground attacks on them (largest since Vietnam). Our Security Forces either killed or repelled all attackers. At Bagram it took three days to clear all the dead bodies off the perimeter (EOD blowing them in place). We didn't loose a single Airman in either attack.

On average our guys may never be able to compete at Camp Perry but when called upon they are killing the skinnies that are threatening the force.

Well, I hear we are trying to get on the bus with what an Airman is likely to face, at least up here in Minot. They're still teaching 4 position (standing, sitting, prone supt, prone unsupt) but they're adding in fire and movement, bounding and the like. I've yet to see the new program in action so I have reservations but I guess we'll see what comes of it.

Probably will go away quickly when the budget hammer hits...back to the days of shooting a week before deployments
