Social Event

Headspace and Timing: Learn and Grow

July 24, 2016

01:00 PM - 05:00 PM EDT

Washington, DC Platoon

Event overview

Welcome to the first of 4th Platoon's social expedition series! Our first event will be held at Conflict Kinetics; this Gunfighter Gym is a full spectrum training environment designed to accelerate the ocular and neuro-processing capabilities of the modern war-fighter. This event will be centered around The Mission Continues value of Learn and Grow. During this social, you will be taken through a series of concurrent drills providing you, the operator, with a targeted stimulus of advanced cognitive and ocular challenges designed to accelerate the speed and "lethality" of the most elite combat units. All skill levels will benefit from this training, no prior experience is necessary. Also, The training is safe, but the weapons are synthetic duplicates of live weapons, and are thus treated with the same level of respect and caution that would normally be expected at a live gun range. Spots are limited, and only the first 15 people to sign up will go. For those who cancel, their spots will be filled based upon application order. After completion of the gym, we will eat and get to winding down, and reflect on what we learned and how we can grow from this experience. Feel free to contact Tyler (tyler.jones@conflictkinetics.com) with any additional questions directly regarding the Gunfighter Gym. Everything else can be directed to EJ or Rose.

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
