Patriot Dawn: Reviews! Calling on all you readers who enjoyed the book: I just got another garbage 1 star review on the book that was clearly not a real review.  The book is starting to gain exposure and is becoming a target of progressive trolls who don’t want Patriots to read it. I know judging […]

I have been busy expending a lot of energy and drive time looking for some land to use as a training site. We have just signed a contract on 100 acres, due to close in less than two weeks. The land is in the Blue Ridge Mountains in WV, across the State Line from Winchester VA. It’s in the north-east […]

Peeling:This simple but highly effective technique is mainly used to move to the flank; elements or individuals are in line facing the enemy threat and will ‘peel out’ to either the left or right. This is a good technique for moving along a linear feature, such as a road or ditch, while producing maximum suppressive […]

I found this and couldn’t resist! However, while keeping this comment cryptic, this will be a good visual for those reading Patriot Dawn! No spoilers please! And then there is this one. Lots of good visuals in here, so long as you are patient and get past the Brigadier talking at the beginning of the video, in […]

I posted previously on body armor and gear: HERE, HERE, HERE Lots of Ammo. Lots of pouches. Heavy. I’ve been giving it some more thought and reviewing my own tactical load carry set-up. You all know that I have a military and security contractor background. That has taught me, perhaps unhelpfully,  that a full set of […]

It is with great relief that I have seen some really positive feedback, and I am glad that readers […]

I hope it achieves what it […]

  A good illustration of vehicle mounted and dismounted protection drills for high threat and combat environments. In this training video, there is a ‘client’ but the TTPs will work just as well without. This is some team training from Camp Fallujah ranges back in 2006. The illustrated drills are a good demonstration, but they […]

 I’m close. I’m going through the final editing stages. I already went through the re-writing and additions stage, adding some characters and deepening the storyline. I hope to publish in a week or so. When I initially wrote it, I did not go into much depth on the ‘enemy’. I wanted them as a […]
