Ok, which one of you guys took Cooper Boice's spy lessons? (fess up)

Cooper Boice is teaching spy classes here in the Phoenix area for only $500 a class. I don't think I've ever heard anyone state that they "trained with the Army special forces for three years"..... Nope, never........

Spy School: valley man teaches techniques to escape and avoid detection

TEMPE, Ariz. - Do you have what it takes to be a spy? There's a spy class in the valley that might help you find out.

"They learn survival skills that could save their life one day," said Cooper Boice.

Boice teaches the class in Tempe.

"My background is I worked with the Army special forces, I spent time working for the national security for a little bit," said Boice.

During the one-day class participants will learn how to put together a secret cache, be on the lookout for people following you, and most importantly, how to get away from a potential captor.

"All you would need to do is shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, and pull your hands straight through," he said.

"Some of the skills we teach is how to recover from ductt tape, rope, zip ties, handcuffs, and what to do if you are kidnapped," said Boice.

The classes give insight into the world of spies, and offers the participants a peace of mind.

"People leave the class more confident, and not worrying as much about these kinds of things happening," he said.

The next spy class is coming up in June, for more information visit: http://www.spyescapephoenix.com/events/

Anyone that would herald his "Gold medalist at the All Army Small Arms Championship" and that he "worked with the NSA" would definitely put down deployments in hostile areas. I doubt he's ever left the country.

And yeah, lots of army engineer officers just break away to "train with Special Forces three years", happens all the time I'm sure........:rolleyes:

I'd also bet that if asked his three years of training with the Army Special Forces will be "Classified, Code Umbra, Tactical Black Ops, Etc." Can't discuss it or his work at the NSA......

Maybe I should go visit Cooper Boice of Tempe, Arizona ?:munchin

I'm no investigator or debriefer, but reading body language is a big chunk of my full time job on civvies street.

His body language when he says he "worked with Special Forces" seems quite awkward.

Looking at this from a civvie Intellectual Property/Copyright protection angle, can you fellas not sue these muppets into oblivion, say on behalf of the Green Beret Foundation?

They ARE literally trading/profiting from your IP.

You should see Harley-Davidson's lawyers going after counterfeiters and IP infringers around the world like a bunch of starving hyenas.

Surely there's a fella somewhere with a Green Beret and a law degree specialising in IP law who can send out cease and desist letters along with invoices for "one jillion dollars"?

Well, it's safe to say that somebody over there doesn't understand the lingo.

https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/faqs

A spy is someone who provides classified information about his country to another country. To clarify, CIA operations officers recruit foreign agents (you could also call them spies) who pass information to CIA. CIA operations officers do use some nifty "spy gadgets," and, while their jobs do occasionally present risks and challenges equal to the most exciting movies, for the most part, they are not nearly as glamorous or thrilling. Operations officers comprise only a small portion of the whole CIA workforce. Being an operations officer demands a forceful personality, keen intellectual ability, toughness of mind, and a high degree of personal integrity, courage, and love of country.

I don't know TS, I've got a "queasy feeling" about visiting him, what with what Doc here pointed out ...


That will never work. From the "Training" section of his website:

"I can even show you how to completely disappear when someone dangerous is after you… even if you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong."

No need to travel; I would be surprised if simply alerting him to your close proximity, and awareness of his 'SF sales pitch', didn't sufficiently increase his butt pucker.

Maybe he already has visited and is STILL visiting YOU !!!! :eek:

Have you checked your inside closets lately ??? :confused: :eek:

I think about the $500.00 for the class, and wonder if what he teaches is really worth the price of admission. Now if someone were to sit through the class, a Special Forces soldier for example, and learns nothing new, would he get a refund of $500.00?

The class is nothing more than a PRE class which teaches you about surveillance detection and defeating restraints. I taught this class at one time. I also taught it to all my family members. It's actually a GREAT class if you have the right instructors with the right qualifications. Not sure how his class is though.

These days you can get everything off of Youtube that's taught in the class.

"As Seen on the TV Show "Shark Tank"

I had to look that up. It looks like an reality TV show where they compete for investors and sponsors.

A google search turned this up: LINK (http://sharktankblog.com/spy-escape-update-jason-hanson/)

ason Hanson, the CIA and Becoming an Entrepreneur

“I grew up in the Washington DC area and was interested in law enforcement. I applied to the Secret Service and the CIA, but went to work in the Arlington, VA police force. I’d only been with them less than a year when my application to both were accepted. I chose the CIA because they treat their people really well.”

“As a CIA field agent, I got to live out a whole bunch of childhood fantasies, but the lifestyle isn’t conducive to having a family – 80% of the field agents are divorced. I didn’t want that for myself or my family and I didn’t want to be chained to a desk as an analyst for 30 years, so I left the CIA and we moved to Utah to raise a family and start the Concealed Carry Academy.”

“I began offering the Spy Escape courses after developing the curriculum and, at first, most of the students were corporate people who were going to work overseas. A lot of them came back after taking the course and said ‘hey, I’d like my wife to take this course,’ so I wanted to take it to the next level. 70% of my students are men, but I’ve had students from age 9 to 70 years old. The one commonality is most are conservative Americans, but I’ve trained everyone from kids to executives to soccer moms.”

I'm sure Mr. Boice has decades of experience.... :rolleyes:

I'd still like to hear about his "three years of training with the Special Forces".... See I'm betting when asked he'll say "Oh that, that was the "Airsoft" Special Forces unit. And his "counter-terrorism" expertise probably came from reading a coded message he got out of a cracker-jack box......

He's what 25? Cooper Boice sure knows all about "A fool and his/her money"...... saying.

I wonder if Cooper Boice knows he can be tossed out of the ARNG for scamming people in the civilian world.

Gold medalist at the All Army Small Arms Championship



This description implies the way gold medal is awarded at Olympics. It's not like that in the All Army. Not at all.

The main purpose is to stimulate joe's interest in small arms marksmanship excellence. To encourage return and more particiaption, there are TONS of gold medal awarded in every single match (there are 21 this year!), for all kinds of category: cadets, drill SGT, first timers, enlisted, junior enlisted, female, and so on. So our high speed spy trainer can be a "gold medalist" and yet finish near bottom overall.

Heck, I got several silver and bronze, and still ended top ~10% overall. A sniper I competed against at Perry got zero medals but placed higher than me overall...Still, I was happy with max EIC points :lifter

^^^^^Your friend is a liar and I take issue with your defense of him. He is also stealing from people by passing himself off as something he isn't for monetary gain. The very definition of the current Stolen Valor law. He is doing the exact same thing as other posers. Turning his "rubbing elbows" with SF into "I was SF". And, for good measure, adds in the NSA stuff?

Maybe you need to look at your own character. You're defending the indefensible.

Cooper is a good friend of mine. I definitely don't condone what he's chosen to do or how he's chosen to advertise his qualifications, and the news story is pretty cringe-worthy. That being said, he's an awkward guy but he's not a liar. He spent 3 years as a cadet drilling with the 19th, and for one of those years he was attached to an ODA and did all the training they did during that time. PM me and I can give you the detachment commander's name. He's never deployed and never claimed to. He also participated in an immersive internship program that the NSA does with BYU cadets. The cadets work alongside other NSA employees, and have all the same clearances etc... As for the handgun instructor, he taught at Frontsight for a summer or two (if I recall, y'alls aren't huge fans of Frontsight).

Anyway, I'm not sticking up for his professional choices, because I also think it's pretty silly and very tacky how he chose to advertise his qualifications (or lack thereof). But I did want to vouch for his character.


Never deployed, like we didn't know that......

As a cadet he stood in the shadows of Green Beret's for what, 90 days total? He can shove "three years" up his forth point of contact. That is an out and out lie, he knows it and we know it.

Intern at NSA, who'd he intern for Snowden?

Sorry Charlie, we know Cooper T. Boice is a scam artist. His 90 days as a water boy for the national guard doesn't make him anything more than a "wanna-be". And one that has just got our attention (and not in a good way.)

I'm sure the US Army Reserves would love to hear from some 20-30 year Special Forces veterans concerning his scam and his invoking our regiment's name in his scam.

You know what, that may be a good idea. Cooper T. Boice prepare to meet your unit commander real soon for a chat.;) I'm also sure that the ODA of "green berets" that might have taught you a few tricks of the trade are ecstatic that you're making money off their TTP's..... I'm guessing they didn't teach you to keep your mouth shut.

You can tell him we're not done with his "been no where done nothing", 2nd Lt ass. You can also tell him using Special Forces in his street "creds" was a slight mistake and one in which we aim to "fix".

Hmm, a Cadet attached to a reserve SF unit for 3 years? One of those with an ODA?

OK, OK, OK, lets think this through. Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, 48 useful hours - 2 days x 11 months = 22 days + 14 for summer drill = 32 x 3 years = 96 days.

96 days - and that's if he didn't do anything else during summer drill time like ROTC camp.

96 days hanging out vs 2 years for the Q course. Somehow they just don't balance out equal to me.

Cooper,

We're glad we have your attention and you have ours, that said.....

I'm thinking your counter-terrorism training is actually "anti-terrorism" training.

You see only two units in the US military are trained in "counter-terrorism", they are the Green Berets and Navy SEALS and I don't think you're either of those. (We actually are the folks that hunt them down and kill them.)

Now everyone else is trained in "anti-terrorism", passive terrorism tactics. So unless the Army Corp of Engineers has changed their mission, you're not trained in "counter-terrorism" TTP's (Techniques, tactics and procedures).

But don't be sad, those 1.4 million "counter-terrorist experts" are also frauds. They may have "studied" terrorism but "counter-terrorism" experts they are not.

Hi, my name is Cooper Boice. A friend sent me a link to this thread and this was the earliest I could send a reply.

First off, I went ahead and removed the comment about training with SF from the website, because I obviously offended some people that I have a lot of respect for.
I feel that I learned a lot of valuable lessons from my time with the 19th (as a cadet I spent a year with a team and 2 years with the MI detachment), and I wanted to express that experience on a resume, while pointing out that it was all in a training environment (hence trained with Special Forces). I apologize for any offense taken at the comment; please know that it truly bothers me that anyone would believe I was being dishonest.

As for the class, if anyone would like to attend, send me an email at cooper@spyescapephoenix.com, or give me a call at 520-365-3825. You're welcome to attend for free and I would appreciate any feedback you have for me.

...

LT... you were attached to a Special Forces Unit for Leadership Training, was this an SMP assignment or a cadet shadow assignment? You were not qualified as a Special Forces Soldier, nor were you qualified as an MI asset. I would hazard a guess as a cadet you did not attend briefings that were not Unclass, because you did not have a clearance as a cadet, unless the 19th SFG(A) paid for it.

Yes, you were being dishonest, and dishonorable through knowingly misleading others to believe you were something you were/are not. You do realize, if you want to vie for acceptance into the SF Regiment after this debacle, you will have this miasma of untrustworthiness and being a poser follow you... the character assessment portion of the pre-selection will not go well for you.

You are a self aggrandizing, embellishing poser of the first degree, and should be held to the Stolen Valor Statutes because you used your posing for personal gain.

But, you do not have enough honor to feel shame. This is wholly evident from the great number of excuses that you wanted to "get out there" that you thought you were high speed because you were tangentially associated with a Special Forces Unit.

I hope this incident colors the rest of your military career.

Just stop. You materially misrepresented your accomplishments on your resume. Anything statement other than that is nothing more than putting lipstick on your hand and pretending it's Jennifer Lopez.

As a former 12A, I'm absolutely disgusted that this kind of filth has made its way into my former regiment. While I won't pretend that every single one of my peers in that branch are the best and brightest and was hand-selected to serve there, this is a new fucking low.

I thought the phrases "trained with" or "worked with" were fairly unassuming and non-grandiose, because that's all I did, and nothing more. I've always been completely open about it to anyone who's asked for details, and I didn't think anyone would interpret that phrase as me claiming to be tabbed, a Green Beret, a combat veteran, or the like.

Obviously, I was wrong. I apologize. It's not the first time I've made a mistake and it won't be the last. I appreciate the butt-chewing and I've tried to correct the mistake as far as I can (including the anti- vs. counter-terrorism bullet)

You posted sixty seconds before me, so allow me to answer your post....

As a cadet you didn't "train with or work with" a Special Forces A-Team, you were a "cadet" and as a cadet you were an observer, period. You were told what to do and when to do it, because you're not a peer. If you like we will find the ODA your "trained with" and ask them a few pointy questions concerning you and your "training".

You might want to stop posting and either continue your spy training or your military career, choice is yours.

If you had put in your Bio the following you probably would have not raised up anyone's blood pressure. You should remove the counter terrorism reference as you do not have any formal documented experience even though everyone today seams to need to throw that on a resume.

The below changes would in my opinion not mislead the general public into thinking you had other skills like it did before. Just my 2 cents...:munchin

I don't know. I think the following is probably quite a leap:

"Skilled (or trained) in personal protection, risk assessment, firearms, security operations, vulnerability assessment, preparedness, and emergency management."

How does a 26yo 2LT (12A) in the reserves / NG become skilled in the above?

I was thinking of Jason Hanson. Which began the question, "how many of these "spy school" assclowns are out there?"I was up reading and watching TV when this name, triggered my memory:

I was just in C2 tactical in Tempe. Our friend is giving a class. Nothing has changed, still trained with SF, still CIA something or rather.
