I want to remind everyone that REGISTRATION is mandatory at:
http://basicreconschool.eventbrite.com/Please see our website:
http://www.mycorps.us for information about the Marine Corps Historical Assn. We do accept shipments of your gear, and offer a pick-up and drop-off to Spokane International Airport with advance notice. Those who ship gear will be able to claim it right at Camp Basilone. It will be waiting for you right next to your rack. Prepaid return shipping from our commercial address is recommended. Those without prepaid shipping will be charged an additional handling fee.

Would an H Harness and more modern ALICE gear count, or does it have to be 1956?
I'm working on the rest of the gear. You realize you're horrible people and now making me want to get an M16VN, don't you?
BTW still interested in going. The pricetag and amount of gear has scared off a lot of the team, but we're still looking into it (A lot of poor kids on my team).
Darius, glad you got some utilities! And, yes... lol I know I'm just so horrible. lol Remember to order your CA M15A1 (VN) from Precision Airsoft soon- I noticed that they say they're out of stock! As I said on Chat we have many sets of 100% correct 782 gear for rent at $30 for the entire exercise. Those who want their own gear can purchase the set they used for a substantial discount. We use M41, M56 and M61 gear- which are all USMC Vietnam correct. A complete set might cost as little as $80 for suspenders, suspender pads, canteen covers, 4-6 ammo pouches, butt pack and/or compass pouch - rental fees may be applied, making your buy-out cost $50. A similar set up from a well known VN source will cost over $200.

more expansave with weapons familiarization, plastics and live fire drills as part of their curriculum.
From what i can see the price is more than fair, just for the self-disciplin that will be developed in ones self.
I will give this site information to a co player here at Gold Hill Or. Hes been reaching out for some training like this.
Special Agent- glad you see the value in the Course. Please remember that it's based on an historical course. So the things people learn at BRS may be different than those taught in modern Marines. However, as you mentioned, the self-discipline people learn is priceless, and the unit tactics are unquestionably sound. I look forward to hearing from you.
Semper Memoris!
