As little as yourself and your primary weapon is the requirement. (OAA does have rental packages, so TECHNICALLY as little as your fully clothed person.)
Like I stated before this is a basic level class so we want to make it open to as many people as we can.
That being said I would recommend a sling of some sort, at least 2 mags, and some kind of gear to carry the mags, weather that be a PC, LBE, or a belt with mag pouches attached.
I am a firm believer in "Train to fight, fight to your training" So if you show up in a fully kitted out PC with a helmet, your primary and a secondary, its only going to help with your training. And we will try and incorporate what ever level of gear YOU have into YOUR training. If you come with less we wont train you less, we just wont ask a guy with 1 mage to do mag changes... (that's not true, we will let him borrow a mag and force him to do mage changes. But I think I made my point?)
Make sense?

Yes, But...
Yes, the training will begin upstairs in OAA's Party Room. The top floor of OAA is a NO FIRE ZONE. So we will begin in a classroom setting. After getting the introductions and niceties out of the way we will move into the training with active participation drills. High-Low drills, Hallway approach, Glass house, are three easy examples of these. After 8pm the arena will be made available to us and when we have completed our training cycles we can move down stairs and run teams through some active fire scenarios.
