#147 After Dark - Lessons From 2024: Greenline Tactical Aerial Target Engagement (ATE) Course Recap
In this episode, I share my experience attending the Aerial Target Engagement Course hosted by Greenline Tactical in the summer of 2024.Last year, I was focused on people: instead of searching for the next best product or course, I was focused on the "who" behind that service so I could get on board with the "why" behind them.The experience consisted of three phases: weapons handling, ground school, and shooting from the helicopter.The event provided a lot of fun and opportunities to build relationships and understand common values among participants. Goal and value alignment between consumers and providers is what stood out to me the most when I was reflecting on this event.I stand for meaningful interactions and shared principles over transactional experiences and it's clear that the entire crew at Greenline Tactical does too. Values over value, leading into 2025.Red Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/
