:confused:This is a posting from Craigslist that I just stumbled across. I don't really like stuff like this... plus, $10.96? i would want/need a lot more to do something like this, if I was to even consider it! Maybe they're practicing for the FEMA camps?! hahaha, but seriously though, I don't like the website attached either!

Military and most gov't agencies will run real life scenario/hands on training. For me its not that they are practicing....its what they are practicing. Figure it this way, here we practice trigger time, gardening, maybe some med stuff, etc. We do that because thats what we expect to use. They are practicing massive chemical/weapon warfare. ???????

LB, I sure hope not! i just think it's weird that all this stuff in the "underground" news is starting to surface about Martial Law, and Civil Unrest, and blah blah blahhhhh, and now we have all these trainings for it. This isn't the first thing like this I've seen. I've just never seen one going on so close to home. Maybe they are preparing for it because they know something we don't. I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but, I also know a lot of fishy stuff goes on before a "big event". I really don't like parts 3 and 4... it just sounds too staged. With this stuff going on with Syria and everyone else that hates the U.S., maybe they are getting ready for something big?

T, we won't worry if its tin-foil hat related....As for it being related to the forum, it does show other agencies possibly practicing/training for shtf scenarios. This could be good or bad I guess.

Sounds just like what I did when I went thought AIT in Ft. Sam Houston. No thanks, had enough the first time around.

We had a exercise we participated in one year with our local airport. They used collage students for the victims. Sounds similar except for the scenario. It is amazing how many training scenarios turns out actually happen though.

Imo if you hear of one of these around your area or anywhere for that matter. It probably wouldnt hurt to prep for it..

You never know what kind of connections you could be making by going though. I would really hate to be the DC however. It's really NOT fun. Last time I was one of those I was dumped in a river up to my shoulders in freezing temps, told to walk to the other side (and do not get your weapon wet), crawl up the bank and find a tree to lie under until I was found...turned out to be HOURS later. Yeah, a week in the hospital from that little exercise. I would much rather be the one FINDING the DC's thank you very much :)

Sounds interesting. If any one is in the area, a little recon might be in order.
