Naval Reserve Center Lemore

"I learned a lot from the 'Train the Trainer' course MPRI offered prior to our setting up the LMTS," says DC2 Davin Luoma of the Naval Reserve Center Lemore in Fresno, California about MPRI's "Train the Trainer" course, "and I applied this training with our security unit."

Luoma says that although he has yet to train non-prior use personnel, LMTS has made a difference for the seasoned veterans of the security unit that went through training prior to live-fire qualification.

"I've yet to train any non-prior use personnel on the LMTS equipment, but I ran over 30 security unit personnel through the system and we had great success with it. Most of these guys are police officers and they've had a lot of shooting experienced, but I made all of them qualify with LMTS before heading to the live-fire range. I can say that many of them still had some serious shooting problems that were easily identified and corrected with the LMTS
system. Their scores when qualifying live-fire range increased considerably over prior scores."

"So far, all of our training here has been with the M16. We have two TR900 targets, ten 110 targets, 12 lasers, a laptop, a dozen M9 non-guns, and an M16 Blazer unit. No matter how much experience they have, I run everyone through range safety drills, zeroing, sight picture, and trigger pull exercises before letting them try and qualify on our LMTS range, and definitely before trying to qualify on the live-fire range. LMTS has been a great training tool."
