Contents April 2014 Thank you for downloading this Sample Edition of PMCI, the FREE digital publication dedicated to PMC Operatives. We hope it gives you a flavour of what the full publication will contain when it launches later this year and of course, we will let you know when that will be. PMCI is written by individuals with first-hand knowledge and experience of the subject they write about - people like Col. Gerry Schumacher (USSF Ret.), author Simon Chambers and ex-TL Dan E, all of whom have an intimate understanding of what the role entails and the day to day challenges faced by PMCs. Future issues of PMCI will provide a platform to review and discuss the things to matter to all of us, such personal equipment, training, employment and lifestylestyle management - and these are also our core fundamentals. We hope you enjoy this Sample Edition of PMCI and if you have any feedback or comments, or would like to contrubute to future issues, please let us know by email to: [email protected] 04 ON TEST - NEMO OMEN We visit Nemo Arms in Montana, USA, to put this stunning .300 Win Mag sniper rifle through its paces 08 AN UNEXPECTED MISSION CP work is not always about sitting in cars and standing outside doors 10 AEGIS - PROJECT MATRIX REUNION An open letter from Kev Marsden to all former Matrix colleagues 12 NEW: TACTICAL UNIVERSAL CLIP We check out the first device to pose a serious challenge to the muchloved and ever-popular sling 15 PMC HEROES - WOLF WEISS In the fog of war things can go wrong but nothing ever seems to prepare us for the ultimate horror of a Blue-on-Blue. 20 HARDWARE: GLOCK 17 & 19 PISTOLS We all know them but if you haven’t shot them both you might not be aware of just how different they are 23 AMBUSH IN IRAQ Simon Chambers tells us what it is like doing convoy protection duty on The Highway to Hell 28 RECRUITMENT & TRAINING Current employment and Training opportunities 30 LIFESTYLE: COMMS & WATCHES We report on the best sim to use in Afghanistan and take a look at SUUNTO’s latest timepiece/altimeter/compass/GPS....
