A little about me, I am retired military, spent most of the twenty years in the Army in the Special Forces. I started out as an infantryman and moved to SF weapons sergeant and beyond in Special Ops. I do know weapons, tactics, and self defense. Some of my training and experience includes weapons from pistols to anti-aircraft missiles, tactics and deployment, crisis and emergency management, hostage rescue, and personal protection (bodyguard).

As part of running the Facebook page and blog I make a little money with the links and ads you see. I only recommend things that I see value in. This is the way that most pages and blogs keep afloat. If you don’t like this concept, then you might not want to hang out. You can easily unsubscribe by clicking the link at the bottom of any email I send you. No hard feelings if you do.

Please continue to post your pictures and comments on our Facebook Fan Page. I will share as many as I can without overdoing the amount of posts for our viewers.

I really am interested in what you want to see on the blog and on Facebook. Let me know by contacting me on the Contact Page.

Once again, I deeply appreciate the support and the kind words.
