It is amazing to me the speed in which technology moves. And whats more amazing is it is not just the technology that we see and hear about everyday like computers and cell phones, but the technology advancements not readily apparent to most everyday “sheeple” types, like in flashlights. Being kind of a tech geek…

Surrounded by Viruses and Anxiety…..
You know when I was a kid, my grandmother (who was the one who let me shoot her .38 when I was 8 years old) had this painting in her living room…it was a picture of an old bearded man praying and had the Serenity Prayer embossed over it. I can still see it. “God,…
Learning from Terrorist Tactics: Spotting Suicide Bombers
When I decided on this subject, I initially was prepared to do a ton of research and fact checking, but then it hit me one day: I really have to look no further than Israel and their Counter-Terrorism Networks to get the “scoop” on this subject! After all, they have been dealing with and neutralizing…
The “Written in Blood” Rule Proves Correct Once Again…..
I remember during my tenure working for Uncle Sam in the Military that it was said, quite frequently and openly, that workplace “SAFETY PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES WERE WRITTEN IN BLOOD” mostly because of inept Government bureaucracy. As a young whippersnapper, I did not quite understand what that meant, until I saw, first hand a man get electrocuted due…
What the CO can Learn from the Eric Frien Manhunt
I started watching the story about Eric Frein with only casual interest at first, because I thought, this being a civilian cop killer, they would find him in no time and it would most likely end in a one-sided shootout with Frein in a bodybag and SWAT cops giving high fives. It has been over…

It appears the first tangible repercussions of mr. obamas “OPEN BORDER” Policy is upon us…anybody surprised? Unfortunately for the rest of America, liberals are not going to realize the damage they have wrought on all of us until they personally experience the ramifications of supporting Barack Obama.At this juncture, maybe an illegal-immigrant-caused m….
Black on White Hate Crime Violence: The Unspoken Epidemic?
Two videos showing that Black on White HATE CRIME VIOLENCE is much more frequent an occurrence than most people realize or even care to admit. [youtube=http://youtu.be/a5TwYKM5moE] [youtube=http://youtu.be/ru8WTYB6qoY] It appears white people being brutally assaulted by black gangs in Missouri (only 3 hours from where the Michael Brown debacle occurred in Ferguson) and Memphis, Tennessee is…
The Real Pandemic Threat: FEAR
One of the more memorable and scariest times in my life was when we use to train for chemical or biological attacks while in the military. I can still remember those drills “GAS!! GAS!! GAS!!” one our Sgt.’s would yell (typically at 2am in the morning while in the middle of a REALLY nice dream)….
Escaping a Wrecked Vehicle
Learning to fight in and around vehicles is a skill-set the CO’s needs to be intimately involved with. The reason being is that aside from our home or workplace, this is a place we spend a majority of our time. Now I could spend 2,000 words just on the subject of worthwhile drills pertaining…
