In a book I just recently finished entitled 13 Hours in Benghazi, (which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND) on pp. 207-210 one of the GRS Security Operators talks about how when the initial attack started on the CIA Annex from the various armed militia groups, it started very casually, first a car pulls up across the street, then…

ISIS Publishes Manual on ‘How to Survive in the West’
Well it appears our enemy has been emboldened enough to publish a “How To” manual on Killing Americans. This is nothing new, just like during the 70’s when we were fighting the scourge of the far-left wingers and the practitioners of Political Domestic Terrorism like The Weather Underground and the RAF put out their manuals,…
Movement in Combat and the Historical Imperative
I don’t know about you, but my jaw hit the floor watching this guy. I think part of the reason for my amazement was he literally, in the span of about 5 minutes, through historical fact and obvious demonstration of SKILL, broke every stereo-typical ideal I had about archers in combat. Think back to…

Random Field Notes #1 (off-hand musings of a wanna-be writer)
Movement. You need it to survive in a gunfight. And not just in the conventional way you may think. Logic dictates Things that move are that much harder to hit than things that are stationary. Consider a {security} detail stationed in a hostile country/environment. When they are anywhere exposed in an area that may present…
Verbal Commands and Discretionary Shooting: A Good Pair
Before I begin, let me first say that there has been much said on the topic of the importance of Verbal Commands during a Self-Defense scenario by trainers and authors far more talented than myself. For those of you that like a visual (and audio) aid, try Southnarcs PUC DVD. For those of you that…
The Waco Biker Shootout: a Study in Common Sense
One of my training goal’s for 2015 was to develop a practical, no-nonsense training course for armed civilians involving “Active Shooter” scenarios. Most of the “scripts’ I have laid out for this course are very basic: A man and his family out and about somewhere, like a restaurant or a Mall, and then BOOM!…
