Course and Discussion
Modern Minuteman is presented by Shane Kerwin through Personal Survival Solutions. This episode focuses on the panel’s recent experience with the course and uses the after-action-review format to examine what the training demanded, what the students learned, and how structured instruction exposes gaps that ordinary practice may leave hidden.
An AAR is most useful when it moves beyond whether an event was enjoyable. The practical questions are what worked, what did not, which assumptions survived contact with the course, and what should change afterward. Those lessons help listeners evaluate their own preparedness and decide where training, equipment, or decision-making needs more attention.
