I was wondering if anyone has taken the Firearms, Arrest and Self-Defense Tactics (FAST) course at the Ohio State Patrol Academy.

If so what did you think and what can I expect???

Also, if any female officers took the female specific course can you please share you thoughts as well.

Thanks

Please God, tell me there is really no such thing, or at least tell me it's not what it sounds like it is.

Edit: Looked into it, it is what I thought it was.

I expected a special training system for women than from men and that's what it is. I'm sorry, but that's BS. Both should train together, both should have the same standards.

Well, I take it you went to the website about the training... I know they offer the course to both men and women together and there is the female specific course....

I was trying to figure out what exactly entails in the female specific course....

Well I actually wanted an opinon of someone who took the course....

I could call them but would only get a one sided answer. I have taken a few other courses and they were good.
