I returned last night from a week of training with S&S Training Solutions at the CMTC in Missouri. Although the week started with sunny days and highs at 58F, the training ended at 11F and ankle deep snow. It truly was a Winter Forge.
It's difficult to expressed how impressed I am with this training. I cannot recommend it strongly enough to our One Shepherd Warriors! It nests so tightly with the curriculum of our Warrior Leader Program - yet NONE of it is redundant. Cold weather operations are so very unique from anything else.
S&S presents this training effectively through their Winter Warrior Course (WWC) and Winter Leader Course (WLC). And of course the week culminates with a 3-day force-on-force FTX.
At One Shepherd we've discussed the need for "breadth, depth, and saturation" of educational experience. Winter Forge is a rare opportunity to push all three learning aspects.
I highly recommend Winter Forge! I will be returning myself.

"I just got back from one of their events. Great instruction and the MILES platform was even better than expected. I’ll absolutely be back."

"Love it! That was one of the only clear shots I had at a guy during this attack. About 80-100 M right to the back of the head... Love the MILES this FTX. It seemed to allow longer hits then I was used to getting."

"I was very pleased with the Pistol One class I took with S&S Training Solutions. I had taken a CCW course several years earlier to get my permit from another company but did not feel that I was at all trained for a life threatening situation. I was still intimidated by the weapon and my own lack of knowledge.
In the Pistol One class I learned so much about how my weapon works, safety in handling weapon and how to fix any jams quickly. I also learned the procedures to be practiced for becoming an accurate marksman ( or marks-woman in my case ).
I feel confident that I can go to the range by myself and practice these procedures without any help now. I was very comfortable with my instructors, Cole and Cameron.
I could see that they were very aware of my skill level ( which was zip ) and they worked with me from that level but pushed me to do much better. I hope to have my grand kids take the course when they visit me from CA.
I want to encourage women especially to take this course and gain the confidence you need to have in a time of trouble. I am looking forward to Pistol Two. Hope to see you there.
Thanks Cole & Cameron."

Will Ingram, Former U.S. Army Drill Sergeant
This class was well above and beyond what I expected. As a military veteran and a former U.S. Army Drill Sergeant I couldn't have asked for a more qualified instructor. This guy was well organized, knowledgeable and down to earth. This class was so well put together and easy for anyone non-military or military to grasp and understand. MISSOURI LAWS for CCW were easily broken down and understood; I left class without a single question unanswered. Also, understanding the important of self-protection and defense brought a sense of preparedness and awareness many fail to realize and understand until it's too late. Get your CCW PEOPLE! Be proactive and not reactive! Thanks, S&S Training Solutions!

Dan Tharp, Navy Veteran:
Thanks to S & S Training Solutions for another great class. This Concealed Carry permit class is something that is different than my other training with them, being in a classroom and a short time at the range. I was not bored in the least and I feel empowered and also have a sense of seriousness and responsibility because of the material and teachings presented. Having two very experienced people with whom I've trained with since last October, I feel that there is no question that I received the best instruction possible. I recommend it to anyone. Especially if you have zero or little firearms experience. You can tell that they feel privileged to teach the public and that your needs as a student will be met. If anyone is interested contact them or contact me and I'll put you in touch.

Ben- "S&S Training Solutions provides a safe, informative, and fun environment that will challenge you to develop, improve, and hone your firearms, communication, and leadership skills. The instructors are great. After reading the course description and signing up for my first class, I must admit I was nervous about the experience I was about to encounter. The guys instructing my class were terrific though, and they were able to turn a square flat range into an exciting, challenging, 360 degree learning environment. It was so much fun, and so well done that I've gone back several times, and I always look forward to the next opportunity that I can make it out to train with S&S Training Solutions."
Brad Meredith- "Team work was the key for me, knowing that I have members not only protecting themselves but doing what they can to protect me. To come out to this training feeling unsure of what to expect from others there and even unsurety within myself, then to leave at the end of the day feeling confident within myself and within new individuals I had just met. The best part was the feeling of live action to give you that burst of wtf just happened. Thanks S&S for taking your time to teach and build the confidence and skills in us all. It has definitely made me ready for more."
Krik Kinnell- "I have attend 4 training events put on by S&S Traing, and they teach a stellar class! From the guy who just bought an AR15, to the recently separated veteran, they have the ability to not only refresh, but to to teach well a diversified group efficiently. They are well priced, and not intimidating what so ever, its where I go to get trained, and you should check them out!"
Jennifer Lewis- "Favorite part was my chili MRE.... Just kidding! It was a close second. My favorite part was putting everything together with shooting, moving, listening and communicating. It took multitasking to a whole new level. You guys pushed me and I loved that"
Jeff Frazier EMT-P - "The training offered by S&S Training Solutions has been a great experience, at an exceedingly reasonable cost. After having taken four courses, ranging from firearm use, small unit tactics, and medical care, I can attest to the quality of the classes and experience of the instructors. These classes are very concise and to the point, combining a reasonable amount of classroom time with fantastic hands-on exercises. It is so nice to get out in the woods, with all of the equipment gathered over the years and actually learn to use it. The use of blanks and airsoft has added a lot of realism, as well as fun, to the courses. It is also great to meet like-minded people and train with them. I plan to attend as many classes as possible in the future."
Billie Kregal- "Team work, its really hard to keep a cool head when moving, shooting & trying to communicate with mortars & gunfire happening all around! You have to really have a well trained team and that's exactly what these guys are all about! Great teachers! Thanks Cole Sammons & Parker Schreckenghaust!"
Tony Cruz- "Move, shoot and communicate or die. Near ambush was great but far ambush was killer and chaotic. patrol teams did well. Thanks S & S"
