The Lone Survivor Was Not Alone – Neither are you

I’m finishing up a couple articles on Marcus Luttrell and Lone Survivor to share my perspective as his sniper instructor. I’m also – with a lump in my throat – heading out to see Lone Survivor the movie so that I can break down some of the gear and tactics for The Loadout Room. I’ve […]
