Watch: Kiowa pilots supporting ground forces
This raw video shows how air assets can support ground forces in a dynamic environment.

Pistol vs. Active Shooter With A Rifle? Myths & Facts
History repeats itself…sadly and ignorantly.

But how do we do that? How can we train our brains to focus on what’s up ahead and not […]
A T-shirt got me through Navy SEAL training Hell Week (Pt. 1)
I was slouched over a stack of pancakes in the BUD/S chow hall, quietly experiencing the thousands of microabrasions that come with 48 hours of being wet and sandy. It was Tuesday night of Hell Week, and it was the first time the pain of it all had really settled in. It was the burning […]
