For all you know the trainers at Blackwater were former Mall Security Specialists that have great people skills.

Point in case, there was a military channel special where a Texas SWAT Team was attending training at a civilian facility in Texas and they were using this instructors "Black Powder" breaching charge to breach doors. The instructor was an idiot and the SWAT Team was paying big money to be trained by said idiot.

There are no standards.

+1. Buyer beware.

The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?
