Something I 44 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: always wanted to do, it just didn't feel right. So 45 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: I started doing other jobs and I eventually started working 46 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: for for UPS.

Um. 172 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: One of the things that since we were National Guard, 173 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: what we were able to do is we're able to 174 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: free up some of the my brothers and fifth Group, 175 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: allow them to who were there as well, to go 176 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: do a little bit more exciting things. UM. So we were, uh, 177 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: we were picking up one of their old missions. As 178 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: far as training some of some of the locals. UM, 179 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't asked me a question, you as store areas 180 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: there and nah, not not any not in anything really 181 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: that I feel comfortable talking about. Um. As far as 182 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: cool war war stories, is it also because you're still 183 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: active duty, you kind of have to be careful about 184 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: we could talk about Yeah, there's there, there's definitely that too. Um. Yeah, 185 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: Is there is there any stuff in the past from 186 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: combat experience you can get into? Uh sure, I don't know. 187 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: I don't have to think about that. Well, well we'll 188 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: come back to that. That that question and I'll I'll 189 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: get to that. But what I realized this is how 190 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: important Jordan's at least with that trip, how important Jordan 191 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: is to US UM and keeping the area free and 192 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: keeping that area stabilized. UM. If we pull out, if 193 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: we we lose our relationship with them, then it's it's 194 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: it's uh, the whole place can just spiral out of control. UM. 195 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: King of Duel is a really good uh ally to 196 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the US. I remember when UM all the stuff was 197 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: coming about out about Kim King Abdual his background. There 198 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: was like a lot of praise in uh, you know, 199 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: just social media field and all that from from probably 200 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: more so people on the right for what he's done 201 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: and his whole background. What do you think of his background? Oh, 202 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: he's he loves soft UM. So he's put a lot 203 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: of money in trying to develop and trying to upgrade 204 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: UM his country's soft element. He's put a lot of 205 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: money and we've supported him in and building up Casotic, 206 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: which is the big training center there where they every 207 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: nation in that area that's reportable that they come in 208 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: there and they train. They also hold the international he's 209 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: supported and had built the International Warrior um uh what 210 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: he called International Warrior Competition annually. And my some of 211 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: the guys from my team and myself were we participated 212 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: in that this year and that was an interesting experience 213 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: being able to represent and to participate and in that 214 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: kind of an environment, it was what exactly is that? Well, 215 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: we really didn't know. We were kind of volunteerled a 216 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: few weeks before it took place that that we wanted 217 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: they wanted team to uh to represent us, so we 218 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: did it. We could prepare for it, but it was 219 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: really a lot more of a a lot more like 220 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, American Ninja Warrior with with guns as 221 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: opposed to actually real uh you know, I think a 222 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: real test of soft capabilities. So a lot of countries 223 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: that treated it like a game and stuff. They did 224 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: really well where they were there. China is one of 225 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: the ones that I think that they wanted this year 226 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: and I think that they wanted this year and because 227 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: they treated like a game and cut a lot of 228 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: corners and didn't uh interesting stuff. An example, um so 229 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: one of the uh one of the um problems are 230 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: one of the the stages as you had to send 231 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: in a small man team, go into a multi story building, 232 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: engage all of the shoot targets wearing pro masks and 233 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: there is you know, smoking there, and then rescue a 234 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: body which was a dummy and recover it and pull 235 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: it out so US and other units took it pretty serious. 236 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: We're wearing a real pro masks and we're wearing you know, 237 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: real canisters and going in there. But then you have 238 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: other teams like you know, well like the afore mentioned one, uh, 239 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: going with air soft masks with with canisters with holes 240 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: punched through it so they can breathe through it, you know, 241 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: So they have the appearance of but that they're treating 242 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: it like like a game. Um, And so that was 243 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: interesting to see that kind of that that uh, the 244 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: other they they treated stuff. Um. The biggest compliment I 245 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: think I received that week and some of other guys 246 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: received that week, is we just complete a stage. We retired, um, 247 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: the other guys just complete a stage and we're walking 248 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: past some believe they're Greek Greek special Forces. I. Yeah, 249 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: we have a Greek guy staff bill. Um, there's the 250 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: Amphibious Raiders and I have to look at his background 251 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: again because I've mentioned it before, but yeah, there is 252 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: Greeks off of course. But so as we're walking by, 253 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: I kind of nodded and he kind of nodded, and 254 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: then they stopped and the guy came over to me 255 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: and he pointed at me and he said, Q Operations, 256 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: ME operations, China like whatever, you know, just kind of 257 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: national art because they were, you know, not treating it 258 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: for real. In wisconsequence, we're winning. I'm looking at Bill's 259 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: background or Vacillus from our staff, who's a five year 260 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: Greek soft veteran. We definitely check out his articles. But 261 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: he served in thirty five Mountain Raiders Battalion and the 262 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: data Amphibious Raiders Battalion. So that was some said, Yeah, 263 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: they do have their soft background, which is which is 264 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: cool to see even though they're not necessarily combat veterans 265 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: a lot of the time because not a lot happening 266 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: in Greece and in terms of that at least. Yeah, 267 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: but you know, he was the real deal, and that's 268 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: that's really was the coolest thing the competition whatever, But 269 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: the coolest thing was being able to meet and hang 270 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: out with and just you act a little bit with 271 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these really good soft guys from from 272 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: around the world. Yeah. I think that that. It's just 273 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: it's a global community and I've seen that ever since 274 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: coming on board here. Um, it's it's more than just 275 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: America Canada, you know, Uh, you can't see it in 276 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: the stream, which, by the way, if you're checking out 277 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: the stream, I apologize for the darkness here. I don't 278 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what's up. It was like lighter before 279 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: and then I changed around some setting. I'm gonna have 280 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: to funk around with. But anyway, I don't. Yeah, I 281 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: don't know. But like up on here, you guys can't 282 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: see it in the stream, but we have like the 283 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: Polish gram Um who Brandon has has worked with, and yeah, 284 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: it's just it's cool to see that there's that global presidence. 285 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: There's some good Yeah, that's what I've heard. I've heard 286 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: a lot of great stuff. Um. So for those of 287 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: you watching the stream once again, because I know there's 288 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: people jumping in and out, I'm here with Jerard Ross, 289 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: green Beret weapons sergeant, still active duty. I'm getting a 290 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: ton of questions coming in and you know, we'll get 291 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: into your current background or current UM happenings right now 292 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: with raw well tactical, because I do want to hear 293 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: about that. But I'm looking at some questions coming in, 294 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: UH and actually a few from our staff, like Christian 295 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: prosper the gear guy in me UH needs to ask 296 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: the ask ath matic what are his preferred tourniquets and 297 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: what are there are there any that he considers junk 298 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: gear and that's just marketed. Well, good question. That is 299 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: a great question. Uh he wants to start some fist fights. 300 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure you can get too deltas in the room 301 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: and h same background, the same experience, and they'll fight 302 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: all day about what's best. Me. I really like the 303 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: wide soft ties UM. That's what I carry, and I 304 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: like it one because it's it's wide, it's it's easy 305 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: to use, but it's it's all metal um. The most 306 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: popular ones out there the cat tourniquets, and cats are 307 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: great for what they are when they're new. How the package. 308 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: I've just seen so many of them exposed the sunlight. 309 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: They get brittle and they snap and they break. So 310 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: I really liked the wide soft UM. I also like that, 311 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: I know it's not popular with a lot of people. 312 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: The swat tea I like that as I think it's 313 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: a really good jack of all trades. You can have 314 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: that that child who you know their legs are this 315 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: big around that these normal turn a cain say they 316 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: won't work on on them because they're they're too big, 317 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: And you can use that that swat tea on a child, 318 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 1: you can use it on on a canine, on an animal, um, 319 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: and you can also use it in a really large 320 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: people And it's a good jack of all trades. It's 321 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: not perfect though, if you don't apply it correctly then 322 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: it can slip. Um. But those are probably two favorite 323 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: ones that I like. Um. That good question from Christian Um. 324 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: Scott Whittner who's also from the site, And we do 325 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: have other people watching, of course, but those are the 326 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: guys asking questions. I want to get to them. Yes, 327 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: Scott Whittner, who's a huge gear guy, says, ask him 328 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: about his preferred weapons platforms in E d C. Good questions. 329 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: You definitely are a gear guy. Yeah, E d C. 330 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: I like, Uh, that's a good question. I prefer the MMP. 331 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: I like the MP in nine. Um, that's what I 332 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: usually carry obviously in New York. Still make it because 333 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: I left the great state of Pennsylvania to come here 334 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: today and very police state of New York, right, Um, 335 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: So I like carrying that. But then also for the 336 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: longest time and I still carry quite often a clock nineteen. 337 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm not a really huge fan of the clock platform. 338 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: They're just like an a k though their workhorse, and 339 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: they'll go all day long. One of the primary reasons 340 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: that I've carried the glock for so long is because 341 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: of all of our students, whether it's military law enforcement 342 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: or or civilians or carrying glocks. So I just need 343 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: to make sure I'm, you know, a master of carrying 344 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: that um Brandon web it carries the glock. He says 345 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: that the main reason is that one of the main reasons, 346 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: sure it's not the only is that there's no safety. 347 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't like having a safety. Well, that's 348 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: the same with the MMP. At least the one I 349 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: carry doesn't have a safety. Yeah. Um, so that's source pistols. 350 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: Those are my two favorite ones. I there's a small 351 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: company by me in Pennsylvania called Viper Holsters. He's custom 352 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: Kaidex maker um and I'm sure his quality is just 353 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: as good as as a lot of other ones. He 354 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: just happens to live close to me, and I really 355 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: like a stuff. He has what he calls a hybrid holster, 356 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: and that's the one I've I used most often. It's 357 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: a codex holster that has leather um attached to to 358 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: the one side on the outside, so it's nice and 359 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: I'm carrying a Panix or whatever to have the leather 360 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: up against you know, my skin or my body is 361 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: sort of the hard codex. So that's my preferred holster. 362 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: And in fact, with this last trip, um, I carried 363 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: more concealed there and uh, much more low profile than 364 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: than really any other trip that I've been on. And 365 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: that's what I awesome. This is the beauty of not 366 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: being in an actual studio is that you know, you 367 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: hear the sounds of New York from the background, so 368 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: that that that's what I used was was that you 369 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: know that holster And then of course, um see some 370 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: other specific stuff. There's another company I believe in Oregon 371 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: called Snake Eater, and they make some good pouches and stuff. 372 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: They make a really really cool um macpouch for for 373 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: pistol and it's one of those uh I don't know, 374 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: like the yoga stretchy pants, I don't know material, but 375 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: it's deal so it's really tight. But what's nice is 376 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: he also has a weave of Kaidex in there, so 377 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of form to it, enough form 378 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: so it's easy to put magazines in. But also stiff 379 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: enough so if I need to like charge my my pistol, 380 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: I can use it. It'll it'll catch in and uh, 381 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: you use it on the sites or whatever. So I 382 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: dig that I carry that as well. UM, and then 383 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: always have at a minimum am a swat tea on 384 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 1: me if and then depending where I'm going there might 385 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: have more medical stuff for my e DC. So there's 386 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of my EDC. Yeah. So I'm clearly 387 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: here in studio with the gear guy, which is awesome. 388 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: So if you have any gear questions, I think this 389 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: is the guy to ask. Um. And we have people 390 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: watching on YouTube on Twitch, so I'm looking at all 391 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: the questions on YouTube master Chief one six seven asks 392 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: and this is a good one from what you're saying earlier. 393 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: If it can soft guys easily pick each other out 394 00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: in other countries, Uh, that's a good question. If I 395 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: say yes, then it means we're good because you know, 396 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: we're not highly trained. If say no, that's because we're 397 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: good because we blend in. UM. I guess it really 398 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: depends from my experience. It depends on what we're doing 399 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: UM and the environment that we're in. Yeah, So it's 400 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: not like I mean I feel like some guys would 401 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: be like, you could just smell it on some guy 402 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: that he's seen combat, he's seen some action or you know, yeah, 403 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: I would assume it depends on the individual. Hum. One 404 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: of my buddies I won't won't mention his name, but 405 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: one of my buddies from from fifth Group who's done 406 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: a lot. If I didn't know that, I would just 407 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: think he's just a nice old family man with a 408 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: bunch of kids. I would have had no idea that 409 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: he's had so many. It's been so many direct action 410 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: missions and I just he just blends in. Um So really, 411 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: I guess it depends on on the individual. It's cool. Um, 412 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at all the time sat here, but apparently 413 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: friends of yours watching. So yeah, Matt done, says Yo Jared, longtime, 414 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: no see, glad to see you going well. Cool.

I'm gonna check them out him 417 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: to see what you guys want to ask. But of 418 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: course I want to get into what you're doing right now. 419 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: You're currently the founder and head instructor at Rockwell Tactical, 420 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: based out of Central Pennsylvania, which we were just talking 421 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: about bringing principal training. Uh, it brings principal based training 422 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: to students, I should say. Uh. And by the way, 423 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: the website is rockwell Tactical dot com. I'll give that 424 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: out again. Um. But yeah, get into how you started 425 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: this company and just the origin of it and what 426 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: you guys are doing. It really goes along with with 427 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: just who I am and you know all my my 428 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: past experiences. UM. I'll start with when I was going 429 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: through the Q course at Bragg. We lived off post 430 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: and um, I went in one morning, go to pt 431 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: and I love my wife. We had a couple of 432 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: small kids at the time, and uh, she wished me 433 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: well I left. She was almost asleep when she heard 434 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: somebody trying to break into the house. And because we 435 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: had talked, and because she grew up actually in Staten 436 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: Island and she didn't grow upround firearms. But when we 437 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: were dating, her attitude was kind of like, well, I 438 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: kind of like you. I guess I'll tolerate the firearms. 439 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: I guess I'll tolerate you taking me to the range. 440 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: And then um, when we were married, it was the 441 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: same attitude, and I guess I kind of like you 442 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: I kind of want this marriage thing to work, So 443 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: I'll put up with and I'll tolerate the firearms in 444 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: the house and and and learning how to use them 445 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: and stuff, just because you're so insisting in it. So 446 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm gone five three years. So in the morning, and 447 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: she hears the noise, and because I had worked with 448 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: her and because we had talked about stuff, she immediately 449 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: knew what to do, and she grabbed the Mossberg shotgun 450 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: from underth the bed. She knew she had to get 451 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: out of the bedroom, and she had to walk down 452 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: the hall to be a barrier to prevent anyone who's 453 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: coming in the house and getting into the hallway and 454 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: possibly getting to our children's bedrooms. Um, and if they're 455 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: in the hallway, then she wouldn't even be able to 456 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,239 Speaker 1: shoot because she'd be afraid to possibly missing them and 457 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, and hitting that the children's bedrooms. So she 458 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: walked on down the hall, and luckily for her and 459 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: luckily forward for them. Um, they had a lookout looking 460 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: through one of our windows into the living room and 461 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: saw the hallway and saw this piste off, red headed 462 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: woman walking down the hall with a shotgun. He yelled, 463 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: and she heard them take off and run, so she 464 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: post herself there, got out on the phone, called nine 465 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: one one, waiting for the cops to arrive, and uh, yeah, 466 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: the door they're trying to get in was open, And 467 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: basically if she would have hesitated at all, it would 468 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: have been a very different morning because they were they 469 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: were the doors open, they had already made their entry. 470 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: They could have you know, who knows what would happen. 471 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: So with that experience, I became pretty passionate about teaching 472 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: and m and preparing people. I finished the Q course, 473 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: was active with with fifth group, and I came home 474 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvania on leave and a buddy of mine knew 475 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: I was their friend from you know, growing up, and 476 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: he said, hey, man, you you're a green break. Can 477 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: you meet me this range and show me some stuff? 478 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: So I agreed and I met him there, but he 479 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: told a friend, who told a friend who told a friend. 480 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: So I show up expecting me and my budding is 481 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: me and like ten of the guys. So was the 482 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: very first kind of like impromptu class where I started 483 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: teaching these guys. So then it just became a habit. 484 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: Every time I came home with pass or leave, I 485 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: would contact him or some other people and we would 486 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: get together and and I'd teach the stuff. I realized 487 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: there's a huge vacuum in that area in Pennsylvania. There's 488 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: a lot of really good instructors and companies teaching n 489 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: RAY stuff, and that's good for what it is, but 490 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: as far as like more advanced stuff, there's a pretty 491 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: big vacuum there. So late two thousand ten, I decided 492 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: to take a chance, created the company incorporated and started 493 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: doing all logistical work to build UM in preparation for 494 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: me leaving active duty. And I left July of two 495 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: thousand twelve, and then when I got back with the 496 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: rest of two thousand and twelve getting stuff set up, 497 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: and then two thousand thirteen is when we really started 498 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: building the Rockwell classes and started teaching. And since then 499 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: every year we've just the talk more classes, UM talk 500 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: more variety of stuff. I started at first is just 501 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: a lot of soft guys, a lot of my buddies 502 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: who are helping me, and then UM the past couple 503 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: of years and started reaching out to to other people. 504 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: So now we have some law enforcement working for us UH, 505 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: some marines working for us I, even you know lowered 506 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: myself from got an army ranger. Now you know, working 507 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: with us, he's he's a really good dude. Um, but 508 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: just try to you know, to grow the company and 509 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: become more well rounded. So that's kind of you know, 510 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: how we started. Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, the story 511 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: with your wife is absolutely crazy, but it's interesting that 512 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: it took that to make you want to go into 513 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: the field because it's actually a pretty natural fit. I mean, 514 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: we have so many guys on the podcast to our 515 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: former stop and then do start these training facilities, so 516 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: it's like a natural thing to do. But I guess 517 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: maybe that was like the kick in the ash that 518 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,239 Speaker 1: I could do a good job at this, because you know, 519 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: you're training someone from absolutely no experience to being able 520 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: to handle a worst case scenario, and that's that's really 521 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: what it was. Um with that experience, I became very passionate. 522 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: We're all citizens of the greatest country on earth, and 523 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: just because I've have this background and Uncle Sugar is 524 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: paid for my training, doesn't mean I'm better than than 525 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: anybody else. So that's you know, you read our catchphrase 526 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: that our principal based training. That's we're trying to teach 527 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: her these correct principles, and I'm trying to get good 528 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: training out the good people because if and when that 529 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: moment arise in someone's life, like my wife, I want 530 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: them to be able to handle it. I want them 531 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, defend themselves and defend 532 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: their loved ones. My wife that morning, even though she 533 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: didn't have to shoot, she experienced combat in a very emotional, 534 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: um psychological, and very physical way. Um similar to anything 535 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: I've experienced it overseas. UM. She luckily didn't have to 536 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: pull the trigger, but but she would have if those 537 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: guys would, if she would have sold them that hadn't 538 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: been a lookout. She was ready to just start pumping 539 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: and clicking in and you know, let need that threat. 540 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: What you were saying about the n ra A instructors 541 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, I could relate because I am, by no 542 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: means like a big firearms guy. But I own a 543 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: shotgun because I live on Long Island and I'm actually 544 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: allowed to do that. I don't live here in the city. Um. 545 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: So this was prior to being with Soft REP. You know, 546 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: I just I wanted to make sure I was at 547 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: least sufficient on the very basics. Got an n RA 548 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: a instructor, took a couple of classes and then was 549 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: good to go. The interesting thing for me, though, was, 550 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, this guy definitely knew his ship, was able 551 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: to show me, you know what to do in terms 552 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: of the basics, but look not like a fit guy 553 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: by any means. And and then starts talking about well, 554 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: if you need to clear a room and blah blah. 555 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: And I'm starting to think to myself because this is 556 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: prior working at software, but I did know some soft 557 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: guys just who I knew from radio, And I feel like, 558 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: unless you've been there and you've done that, I don't 559 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: that you're not really the type of person I want 560 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: to hear from on that because you don't really know 561 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: how you would react in that scenario. You're probably just 562 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: repeating something you heard from someone who is an actual expert. 563 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: Like I want to go to that extent with training. 564 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: I want to hear from you or Jeff Gonzalez or 565 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: our friend Jason Delgado. Those are the guys who could 566 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: tell me, you know, what you could do in those scenarios. 567 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, absolutely, yeah. I feel like that's 568 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: why it's important to have the background that you do 569 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: to train people with the proficiency that you do well. 570 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: One of the things I've I've done too is i've 571 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: once it was join on with I started volunteering and 572 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: teaching at at CEPHALIC, which I don't know if you're 573 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: familiar with that. That's the Special Forces Advanced Urban Combat 574 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: UM and we hold that three times a year. So 575 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: I started, you know, already knew how to do stuff, 576 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: but but going there and you learn so much more 577 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: as an instructor. So I started learning more stuff, more 578 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: things there UM and I I was able to do 579 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: it a couple of times a year, so I was 580 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: with that experience, I've taken some of the classes. Some 581 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: things we do is teaching people, you know, with example 582 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: my wife, how to clear rooms and how to defend 583 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: themselves in case there's a home invasion. The smartest thing 584 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: usually to do is to stay put in a room, 585 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: and you know that's probably the safest thing to do, 586 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: but they're different circumstances. Like with my wife, there are um, 587 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: you know kids, you need to get to those bedrooms, 588 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 1: you need to take care of those kids. You need 589 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: to protect your your your loved ones. So there's a 590 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: time and a place for that. Civilian to move. And 591 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: that's what I've done, and that's what some of our 592 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: classes have done. We've taken those principles that I've I've 593 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: learned on the operation side, and then we've applied them 594 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: to you know, as an individual, how a person can 595 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: clear their home or how a couple i e. Husband 596 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: and wife can can work together to to safely clear 597 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: to their house. And that's exactly what you know, what 598 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: you're saying that, that's what we've done with a lot 599 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: of our classes. Try to take that real world experience 600 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: and things we know that work in that environment and 601 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: then tailored and tweak it a little bit to to 602 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: work in a civilian environment. Well said Man. So once again, 603 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: the website if you want to get trained by Jared 604 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: and your group, it's Rockwell Tactical dot com, Facebook dot com, 605 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: slash Rockwell Tactical at Rockwell Tactical on Instagram, and it's 606 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: wrapping things up here. I'd like to get some more 607 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: questions because people love hearing um from someone who really 608 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: knows their ship on weapons and asking the questions. So, um, 609 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: Donald Rutledge, do y'all use a number four shot in 610 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: the Mossberg? Uh? That's a good question. Uh. We well, well, 611 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: it depends, um, and what application talking about. If for 612 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: classes we use all sorts of stuff a bird shot 613 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: for a lot of stuff until we get specific for 614 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: patterning and some of the other drills. But for for 615 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: home defense use you know, there's a lot of different options. 616 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: Use what works best for you. Cool. Um, you know 617 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: it's funny someone is commenting on the darkness of the studio. 618 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm doing a Power of Thought podcast with Brandon later. 619 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: Hopefully I can figure this all out. So I do 620 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: apologize once again for how dark the studio itself is 621 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: actually not that dark. It's the uh, it's it's the 622 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: settings on the camera. Um. But I'll see if there's 623 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: anything else coming in. Um. As you said, there's people 624 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: who know you on here, which is pretty cool. Um. Oh, 625 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: what's your favorite long range rifle? That's from Don Bonnet. 626 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm not a long range guy. I've never been to sodic. Um. 627 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: We have a couple of guys that that that I 628 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: specifically have brought on Rockwell that teach long range stuff. 629 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: Everything that I've done has been CQB or or mid 630 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: range stuff. UM. So I'm I don't feel qualified to 631 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: uh to answer. Hey, this is the best thing out there. Okay, Well, 632 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: that's that's good. I think it's important to know what 633 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: your lane is. And and I mean, are there people 634 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: that you think are the go to guys? If if 635 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: Jason is one of them, he's he's really a guy. 636 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: Um and then yeah, I'll use his name. There's another 637 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna say but but but he's a little 638 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: bit more protective than I am since he's still uh operational. Well, 639 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,719 Speaker 1: you do have people who might become clients. Because Nathan 640 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: Center is saying he's interested in classes. If you're in 641 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: the p A area, go for it. And he asks 642 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: do you do any other c QB training? Yes, we 643 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: do stuff that we've dedicated classes for law enforcement. We 644 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: do CQB training, Like I've said, a lot of different 645 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: classes one day to day, multiple days, um, with teaching 646 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: different principles of of CQB basically four you know, for 647 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: a husband and a wife or for defending the home. 648 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: I don't know of any specific laws, but there's there's 649 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 1: a line there, the one that I'm not willing to 650 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: cross as far as teaching everybody. Um, I'm not going 651 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: to teach for man CQB just to everybody, I'll say 652 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: that for you the military, or for or for law enforcement. 653 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: So we primarily get into one and two man. You 654 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: know again, a husband and wife clearing and defending their home. 655 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: All right, you told me that I could go back 656 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: to it at some point, So as you're wrapping up 657 00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: any good combat stories, I'll tell one go for teple 658 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: and and this is one that, um, if ever there's 659 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: a scene in my life that I want to see 660 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: in a movie, that this is it. This was a 661 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: rack and this would have been two thousand four, and um, 662 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: I was wasn't yet soft. I was still still eighty 663 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: sewod and um. We had set up an improvised blocking 664 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: position and it was just me and a couple of 665 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: guys in one humpy, another couple of guys in a humpy, 666 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: and we were basically had funneled people through and we 667 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: were checking out cars just randomly. And this was back 668 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: in the days when we didn't have at least we 669 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: didn't have gun trucks, we didn't have up armored. This 670 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: was like cargo hum vys with mad Max armor welded on. 671 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: And I had a saw and being the guy that 672 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: I am growing up reading all the the Vietnam books. 673 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: One of the things I learned from those old timers 674 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: in Vietnam is that some guys would have a twenty 675 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 1: round our third round mag loaded with nothing but tracers, 676 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: like a team leader someone, so if they get into 677 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: f our fight, they use the tracers to you know, 678 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: to mark a target where everyone would direct their fire. 679 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: Just the technique. So me, being the crazy kid that 680 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: I was, I had my two hunter around saw drum 681 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: and I had manipulated the rounds so like the first 682 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: thirty rounds was straight tracer, and then like every other 683 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: round was tracer, and then kind of um, near the 684 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: end of it, it was normal one and four, and 685 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: then like the last ten rounds again with straight tracers. 686 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: So I know the drum was just about out. So 687 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: I had this this drum and it was it was 688 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: dark out and um, it's kind of boring. Cars coming by. 689 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: And then about three up the road, some guys didn't 690 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: know we were there, and there was a car with 691 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: a driver and two shooters. The shooters got out, they 692 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: went into a cafe, and because there's so much going on, 693 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: we didn't see them either. And then they went a 694 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: cafe and assassinated somebody. So we heard the A K 695 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: rounds going off. We saw them jump in the car 696 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: and that came cruising towards us. So then as they're 697 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: coming towards us, somebody else stopped. They didn't stop, so 698 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: then um, I lit them up with the saw. So 699 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: again it was like straight laser beams. Nothing of tracers 700 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: into the car. And so there's this big volume the 701 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: noise and then silence. And what was was crazy is 702 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys can see in there, 703 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: but that the humps were we're kind of set diagonal, 704 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of noise and then no noise 705 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: in this car just slowly creeped by, shot up full 706 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: of holes, slumped over bodies, all the tracers burning inside. 707 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: So this orange glow and you just saw you know, 708 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: stuff dripping out of out of things as this car 709 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: slowly creep by, and all of us like you know, 710 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: just in ah, you know, holy crap. Is this thing 711 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: just slowly creep by then stopped at a at a 712 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: curb when it finally came to rest. Um so that 713 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: was that was that was pretty wild. I knew I'd 714 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: get a badass story out of you, man. I mean 715 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of that. The epilogue to 716 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: that one, the after stories. When we cleared the car, 717 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: there was an air freshener in there, and uh so 718 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: there was three holes and air fresheners and stuff on it. 719 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: So I might have liberated air freshman. I might have 720 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: put up my own car and occasionally had people who driving, 721 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: Hey do you smell? That was a smell like the 722 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: sniff and I don't know, orange no smells like death, 723 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: And uh, that's that's what I did. That's a that's 724 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: a nice little Um. I guess you would say souvenir 725 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: from pretty awesome time. Um. You know, we're also on Twitch, 726 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: so I'll get to maybe one last question here unless 727 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: there's other good ones. By the way, it's brighter now, 728 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: so the sun came at Uh so you guys can 729 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: actually see what we look like. Uh the doughnut goon 730 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: who has been watching every time we're on Twitch, which wee, 731 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: which we appreciate. What do you think would be the 732 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: best set up for a patrol rifle? I work in 733 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: law enforcement and I'm looking to put a better kit 734 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: together instead of just a vanilla a r Oh, that's 735 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: a good question. I know a lot of law enforcement, 736 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: a lot of departments, though it's dictated to them what 737 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: they can what they can't have. Um. But with the 738 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: patrol rifle, you definitely want a flashlight some kind and 739 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: and I won't get into specifics, whether you know a 740 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 1: surefire or something else. There's there's good flashlights out there, 741 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: but definitely get a flash right, Um, definitely get a 742 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: two point sling. I've used the Victors or the Blue Force. 743 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: I've used the Proctor sling, and I dig the Proctorice sling. 744 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: I like that one. Uh, Frankie's a he's a pretty 745 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: cool guy. And I've also used the v Tax sling 746 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: and they're all pretty much the same sling, just the 747 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: different flavor of the same type of thing. So you 748 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: get a good two point sling. I'm a really big 749 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: fan of the grip stop. It's the greatest hand stop 750 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: out there. And now maybe tomorrow someone might invent something better, 751 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,280 Speaker 1: but for the past couple of years, the grip stop 752 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,240 Speaker 1: is the greatest hand stop, hands down on a rifle 753 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: anymore anymore. Patrol rifles, the rifles themselves, they don't look 754 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 1: right unless you have a crip stop on it. Um. 755 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: So there's just a couple of things to do. It. 756 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 1: Make sure you get um some kind of a flash hider. 757 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: I like Smith Vortex Online because it's it's a fighting gun, 758 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: it's a your patrol rifle. You're not gonna be using 759 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: it in competition, so there's no need to have a 760 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: break on it or something that's gonna the big um 761 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: ball of flame out there. So you get a get 762 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: a flash eighter, and on top of that, you get 763 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: a good red dot. UM. Of course there's the the 764 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,919 Speaker 1: A points are real popular. I've used an EO Tech 765 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: forever on my work guns. UM. I know they've got 766 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: a pretty bad you know, people are pretty you know 767 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: have they have a bad rep right now, and I 768 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: guess they're going away. But I haven't head any issues 769 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,959 Speaker 1: with mine though a lot of people have an issues. 770 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: But there's also there's a newer company called hollow Sun. 771 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: It's a foreign company, UM, and they make some some 772 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: okay optics and uh. On this last trip, I actually 773 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: had a hollow Sun that I was expecting to destroy 774 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: and we put it on some of our work guns 775 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: and a lot of different guys on my team used 776 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: it and just to test it out, and it actually 777 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: held up really well. Holly sun is very cost effective 778 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: to UM, so you'll get some kind of a site 779 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: like that. I was gonna say, as you as you're 780 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: talking sorry about the sun now all of a sudden 781 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 1: being in your eyes, should I should I close these 782 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: as where you're right? I'm it, Okay, it's just funny. 783 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 1: We went from being too dark now it's like super 784 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: bright man. We gotta we gotta get good lighting here. UM. 785 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: We have more questions coming in, so I figure we'll 786 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: get to them. Why not, um, Don Bonnett, best home 787 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: defense weapon, best home defense weapon, I'm going to cop 788 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: out on that. Your best home defense weapon is the 789 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: weapon you know how to handle the best. UM. At 790 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: the time, the best thing for my wife to use 791 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: was that that shotgun because she knew it the best. UM. 792 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: Now she's actually very comfortable because after that experience, she 793 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: was born again hard. So she carries all the time 794 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: and she's she's pretty good. UM. So now she actually 795 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: she would use her her pistol. She she likes an 796 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: m MP as well, so that's what she'd go for. 797 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: For myself, I would go for my A R. I 798 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,760 Speaker 1: know my a are better than than any other weapon system. 799 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: I can use it better, and I have ammunition appropriate 800 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: to be used inside the house with it. So that's 801 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: that's what I go to, UM, And I think that 802 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: that's probably the best answer I can give. The best firearm, 803 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: the best weapon for for home defense is the one 804 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: that you know and that you can handle the best, 805 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: Well said, um, James C. Do you, James C. Horn, 806 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: do you travel to other states for classes? And if 807 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,959 Speaker 1: I have a local range, can class be set up there? Yes?

We have a ballistic shields for 847 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: a backpack that could stop any around. We were able 848 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: to send that out to every state except for Connecticut. Connecticut, 849 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: there's a law that you can have um you you 850 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 1: basically can have like a ballistic shield.

Um and yet 853 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: so we had to send them a we We basically 854 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: had to send them a go egg instead of you know, 855 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: which is cool too, but it's you you you know 856 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: better than anyone with these gun laws. Like every state 857 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: has their own weird little laws they have to follow. 858 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: But I never thought that you couldn't send a um 859 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: you know, armor, And that's what it is, that you 860 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: can't really have armor in Connecticut. And never would have 861 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: thought that that was the case. Um.
