“Those who sweat will die” – old Eskimo saying. Having proper clothing for cold weather is an important pre-requisite for conducting cold weather operations.

Fight the Narrative

Misinformation is easily spread about people who are concerned about rights- gun rights especially. The opposition to these rights can say about anything they want because they control the narrative. They can make up outlandish stories to paint progun people as violent zealots. There are no repercussions to it. I don’t know anyone who participated… read more »

It was unfair, but a perk of the job. I didn’t consider what that meant for people who were not me. As I matured I began… read more »

Don't Be A Sheepdog

The ability of a person to protect themselves and their family is not only their right, it is their responsibility. People shouldn’t need to wait on the police (or sheepdogs) to come and protect or save them. My primary employment is working as a police officer. I recognize there are those officers with a just… read more »
