I’ve been told that as far back as Vietnam there were Green Berets being trained in how to crack open safes, pick locks, and other methods of surreptitious entry. Today the emphasis on low-vis B&E and technical surveillance has only grown of course. I’ve known a few gurus but this was always something I wished […]
Like many of you, I’ve had my fair share of foreign and domestic travel. The world is on edge today with the anticipation of another terrorist attack. Even in the most hostile environments, you can make yourself a very difficult and less attractive target by applying simple preventive security measures. Terrorists and criminals will always conduct […]
One career area that has seen an increased focus on strength and conditioning is the tactical profession.
For years I had been playing the cable game. I see a bill, which was larger than my plan’s rate, and I begin to go through the multi-faceted customer service system to try to correct the bill. Each layer of customer service there was an employee eager to tell me how my interpretation of my […]

Whether this is directly taught or is an uncorrected natural tendency makes little difference. Almost every story you have ever heard about a bad shooting has its genesis in this […]
If this can motivate, help, or inspire just one person, it’s served its purpose. It could always be worse. This is a picture that I’ve held onto for personal reasons and will continue to hold onto for many years. Whenever things seem to be a little tough, I refer back to my time in service as […]
More often than not during a shooting course, may it be pistol, carbine or precision rifle, a few of the students will ask, “Do you shoot with both eyes open?” Before answering the question with a “yes” or “no”, I ask them two major questions before discussing something we all face in a life or death […]
