Here is an exhaustive list of things to bring:

Training is down to 5 full days now, with a travel day before and after. I am not sure what they cut out from what you guys used to have to do.

Reloader? Oh don’t be “that guy”?

An Uplula reloader weighs about 2 ounces and is less than 3 inches tall. Fits in the palm of your hand. Won't take up much space. In fact, it takes up less space than, say, a roll of hockey tape...Maybe we're talking about different reloaders?
As a CCW instructor, every student that has borrowed my Uplula (strange name, I agree) has asked where to get them and how much.

I've never seen guys on the gun range with hockey tape on the fingers. That's just weird.

When I went back in 2004, they banned reloaders from the range.

How's the living situation when you are there? I am going to class in August!

If your hands can’t handle the reloading don’t show up...or on the Redondo long go shove your hands in the sand and wiggle for a few hours.

You’ll be sharing a bathroom with the guy in the next room over, and the bathroom probably has a bunch of hair on the floor.

They’re putting new guys out as FFDO’s with only 5 days of actual training?

We did classroom in the AM. Legal liability, use of force, and associated con law.
Afternoons were the rubber room trying to kill each other. Firing range, FATS like firing simulator and the other stuff I’m sure they still do.

Don’t bring a speed loader. Your range instructors are a bunch of salt of the earth retired police officers. Bring underwear, t shirts and some good tennis shoes. Every thing else is provided and I mean everything.

Fly into Roswell if you can. Otherwise it’s a 4 hour ride from ABQ.
