New CQC training facility

Finding a place to practice for CQC is not easy. In the past we have been able to practice at a metal fabrication shop and warehouse. The shop works great, but after you train at the same place for a long time, it is easy to become too comfortable with the layout, and become desensitized to the area. It is important to have a variety of training areas. When we compete, we usually have no idea what the other side of the door will look like. That was exactly the case the first night we showed up to this huge ARMY hanger. There are at least 20 rooms, multiple floors are stair cases, low light areas, large open spaces, and tight corridors. Hitting that building gave me the same rush that a competition does.
