Hello All.
Currently, I live and work in Chicago, Illinois. My employer is the largest provider of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) services in the world, with over 6,000 client organizations, in 92 countries worldwide. I coordinate responses to everything from robberies, to workplace violence, to natural disasters and terrorist attacks. I was extensively involved in the aftermath of the London Subway bombings and the recovery efforts surrounding hurricane Katrina. Most recently, I am providing consultations and training in regards to the potential for the outbreak of Avian Flu among humans and what that will mean to municipalities, corporations, and individuals from both the business and security perspectives.
In another life, I was a live-firing fool out at Camps Roberts and Fort Hunter Liggett, as well as a successful Long Range Surveillance Team Leader (Q6). My military strong points are TLPs, IPB/E, MOUT, PT, and Combatives. Essentially, that boils down to shoot, move, and communicate- but know whom you are shooting at and what you are communicating.
I found this forum quite by accident. After reading through several of the posts, I think that it is a great web site. Of course, it does seem to have its share of idiots- who seem to get deleted in short order.
Quiet Professionals, if any of you would be interested in participating in a public forum discussion that seriously delves into the subject of extreme close quarters combatives, please email me. I have a bit of experience with that.
With respect,
HillHiker
