10 Patriots gathered at Truprep in Marietta, GA to hone their craft. BIG shout out to Truprep for opening their doors early for us and granting us use of their classroom at no cost, and always being so gracious to us. The term, "boot camp" is a bit of a misnomer as there are no push-ups involved, BUT there was still A LOT of work crammed into two days. After Upacreek shared doughnut and JHB broke out the famous energy balls, we got to work.



Most of Saturday morning was spent on classroom material. At lunch we were joined by one of the Tru-prep dogs. We quickly adopted him as a mascot. Although he was a little put out we didn't share.





Leadslinger66 and Upacreek assisted in the IBC and were both a huge help. Thank you both. (Sadly, i failed to get a picture of Upacreek. All the ones in this thread she took, so she is behind the lens.)



Students worked hard all weekend. Frequently, we broke up into small groups to allow everyone to practice in front of their peers and get their feedback.

Bdupree10 and Zinthous work on 6 Steps


buffalorifle74 and Gator0246 work on the Seated positions as their small group lead, Geek looks on.


JustinD and Leadslinger66 work on seated positions (while I pretend I'm not listening, lol).


Thank you to all the Instructors and Instructors in Training who came out to work hard and made this possible.

Lastly, BIG kudos to Geek and JaysHoneyBunny for driving all the way down from Indiana!  #) Hahaha! You're both always welcome in GA. :)

In Liberty,
Roswell

Nice!  IBCs are are always such worthwhile events.  Attendance at an IBC makes us all better instructors and better Americans!!
It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan
