It seems that a lot of preppers generally want to be tactically proficient, but many do not have military training. I have more than a few manuals, presentations, and other material made and collected throughout the years that I am allowed and willing to share with you. A lot of it is about leadership and organization, which is the most valuable resource. I greatly appreciate the Strelok that provided the radio guide. Many people do not know that it is one of the most powerful weapons available to a soldier. I would like to give classes on basic shit like 9-line medevac, among other things that could be useful if you can set up the proper infrastructure beforehand. However, I only have a shitty gaming headset an don't know how to make a vid or podcast. If anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction, I might be able to get something done about this. Hopefully you are all interested in learning some cool shit. Please respond and suggest topics you might want to learn about, it doesn't matter how trivial or dumb.
pic slightly related, a desktop radio that I'm considering for fun and learning.

A fine radio. Rugged and adaptable. You wont be disappointed.
If you get your tech license you'll probably want to go beyond the 6 meter band to keep from getting bored of CW and the 50 meter band.
But then again, Ive been spoiled by Yaesu and their all band radios. I use an FT-897D, I got it used for $800. In hind sight, I probably should have gotten the FT-857D new for the same price, because it's the same radio only smaller.
Anyway, Medevac sounds sweet! I would attend that.

>>76I'll be honest. I am not an expert on fortifications. Most of the stuff set up is just hescos and stuff like that. However, I do have this, which I think will interest you.
Trench digging isn't something that is taught that much anymore, or practiced. I'll see what else I can find on the subject. Plus I know a couple of old-timers. They will know more on this than I do.

>>102This:
>>103I know a couple of snipers, but from what they have told me, the biggest thing is stalking, camouflage, and learning to scout. Also, you're going to need a spotter. Snipers are like boots, they come in pairs.

Not every long ranger shooter is a "sniper".
"Sniper" is an individual with extensive bushcraft/fieldcraft training, having attended USASS or SSBC as well as various other courses such as SERE, Mountain Warfare School, Ranger School, Dive School, ect… They're formed in an independent unit and are individual assets at the battalion level; utilized for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (scouting), in addition to their shooting,they can be assigned independent operations or attached to a unit.
Squad Designated Marksman/Designated Marksman are simply grunts within a squad or platoon that have attended advanced marksmanship training, usually at unit level, rather than attending a dedicated school. They're mission is to provide the unit with extended engagement range capabilities within the scope of normal operations, they lack any advanced training a sniper may have, unless having attended a course such as Ranger School, Sapper Leader Course, ect… on an individual basis outside of their training as a marksman.
