Pat McNamara’s Sentinel Series: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail (Part 1 & 2)

August 10, 2018 by Matt Jin Leave a Comment

If there’s ever been anyone who has truly been there and done that, it’s Pat McNamara. Pat is a 22 year veteran of the U.S. Army and has served in a myriad of assignments in Special Operations, including Delta Force. He was once his Unit’s Marksmanship NCO but now trains both professionals and civilians of all levels in tactical marksmanship. What many people admire about McNamara is that he as well-spoken as he is well-versed in his craft, and very few rival his prowess in marksmanship, training, and tactics.

Pat McNamara has also authored a couple books. In the videos below, you can watch Pat illustrate some lessons from his book, Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail. Pat offers a snippet of sagely insight in classic Pat McNamara fashion; watch him explain a few simple tips on how to protect your home, vehicle, family, and yourself. Remember that none of us plan to fail, but we may fail to plan: do everything in your power to be prepared and “make it habitual.”

Be sure to check out Pat’s company, TMACS Inc. as well as his Instagram (@tmacsinc) for more content.
