Gear Giveaways & Discounts!We get regular enquiries about the gear and equipment we choose to run.For clarity: no, we aren’t sponsored by anyone, and we pay for our own gear. We prefer to buy, test, and run what we personally like and need — just like everyone else.Ammo sponsorships however…. 🤔 We’re listening🤷‍♂️🤣That said, we’ve run the Krieger Industries (KI) IFAK for quite a while now, and we rate it highly. - So do all of you! They tell us it’s a best seller! For those who don’t yet have an IFAK or simply want to try this one, we’ve secured a discount code for YOU — the end user. Can be used across all KI products when you purchase from them. Code: ARMA10More importantly, for every 5 sales from you legends when you use our code, the lads at KI will donate an IFAK pouch that we’ll gift forward to:• a student attending our training, or • a frontline responder from military, law enforcement, or emergency services who genuinely needs one but may not currently have the spare funds to purchase quality kit.No gimmicks, and no profit for ARMA Co.We simply want frontline end users to receive a small thank-you discount, while also helping get quality equipment into the hands of other good people.Over time, you’ll see us posting and handing some of these IFAKs forward throughout the community.*For other companies interested in similar arrangements — feel free to reach out. We’re not interested in making money off your products; we are interested in helping good people access quality equipment and training.ARMA Co.#IFAK #Medical #Preparedness OperationalPerformance by @arma_co_

Some big days ahead this week. When we can’t get what we need locally, we bring it with us.

You won’t be disappointed. Unlike many energy drinks, they don’t leave you feeling jittery or crashing later in the day.They’ve got plenty of supplements and other goodies too! Support the companies supporting the frontline.Discount codes:• ADF10 – Australian Defence Force personnel• CODE1 – First RespondersNo sponsorship. No commission. No profit to ARMA Co.We only recommend products we use ourselves and happily spend our own money on. If we can help get quality gear into the hands of good people while saving them a few dollars, that’s a win.#getsome_au by @arma_co_

One of the performance validation drills we use in our workshops is the El Presidente, often called El Prez.Developed by Jeff Cooper in the 1970s, reportedly while training a presidential security detail, the El Prez was designed as a performance validation drill rather than a tactical exercise. Decades later, it remains one of the most recognised pistol standards because it measures the integration of multiple fundamental skills under time pressure—not just speed.The El Prez evaluates:* Turn and draw efficiency* Grip index from the holster* Visual processing and target acquisition* Recoil control and management* Target transitions* Reload proficiency* Accuracy* Consistency and accountability under time pressureLike any good validation drill, it provides objective feedback—not opinions. It identifies strengths, exposes limitations, and establishes a measurable baseline that can be tracked over time.As a general performance guide (while maintaining acceptable accuracy):* <12 seconds — Developing* 8–10 seconds — Competent* 6–8 seconds — Proficient* 4–6 seconds — Advanced* Sub-4 seconds — Elite-level performanceOn our workshops, drills like the El Prez aren’t about chasing arbitrary times or feeding the ego. They’re about validating performance, measuring progress, and building capability through objective standards.Train with purpose. Validate performance. Measure progress. by @arma_co_

The Instructor Box.More than just a place to stand and be seen.While it looks like a simple painted boundary, it’s where accountability, humility and high standards meet.Every action—or inaction.Every skill—or lack of it.All on display for everyone to see.Not just shooting standards, but professional standards. Every demonstration and every teaching point is scrutinised by those you’re responsible for developing—and by your peers. The Instructor Box can be an incredibly lonely and humbling place.Every action teaches something—whether you intended it to or not.Every standard you expect of others should be reflected in your own conduct.~ ARMA Co.Measured. Accountable. Repeatable. by @arma_co_

Introducing: JJ(Jack Junior for short)One of our newest assistants here at ARMA Co., Jack Jr. supports our operations through his recent experience in:• dynamic room entries• laser tag domination• blue slushie sustainment• and high-level conflict resolution with other childrenIn his bio pics, you can see Junior using his expertise to absolutely slam dunk on the enemy (his mates at his own birthday party).Despite ongoing mentoring efforts from experts in their respective trades (like his Dad), Jack remains highly resistant to instruction and feedback.Common responses include:“Yeah bro, I know” & “What would you know mate?”Current observations on JJ’s shooting performance indicate:• poor trigger control• limited ammo accountability• questionable target discrimination, and• as seen here, persistent employment of the ‘high-elbow C-clamp’ 🤦‍♂️ despite most modern performance shooters having largely moved on.His response to coaching and constructive feedback is generally something like:“Whatever Dad — I’m a QuAliFiEd Urban Operator” & “I’m actually CQB qualified, so I know what I’m talking about, champ.”Jack Jr. is occasionally let loose on our social media (under ‘supervision’), where he has demonstrated a growing capacity in:• laughing at the internet heroes• identifying “bad guys” in comment sections• and replying to burner-account DMs with tactical flair, often remarking:“Hey Dad… have a go at this silly goose!”That said, JJ’s skills are coming along nicely, despite being restricted from live firing (Mum’s rules). He still gets after it through effective simulation (laser tag) and non-lethal force-on-force training (Nerf guns).When pressed for his credentials by those who also have none, JJ is often quoted as saying:“Mate… I know boats.”Further instructor development pending…ARMA Co.‘Ready One Day’ 😉✌️ by @arma_co_
