I just purchased my copy at clothing sales a few days ago, and it is an amazing book. I'm glad to contribute to the cause any way I can. I'm going to attempt the try-out next April. Thank you Sir, for the opportunity.

WM, sir, I sent a question to the email that's listed on your website (about four days ago) but I haven't received a reply yet, so I'm just posting in here just to make sure it didn't get lost in a spam filter or something.

Even though I've already passed my 'selection' (different to the US SF one of course), I'd still like to get the book. For one, I've heard that it's great and informative (I take an interest in US SF), and secondly, the money goes to a good cause. I'd just like to know if international shipping is available before I pay for the book through the online Paypal service?

Thanks if you can answer my question.

Yes, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation ships internationally.

Best place to find the book is on their website (www.specialops.org). Amazon will cost you more...

Finally got my hands on Anthony Robbins tapes. Excellent stuff. Forget all the psychology classes and psychiatric nursing that I ever took, my ultimate pursuit in understanding the human mind and finding out what makes a person tick is satisfied (for now) by his work. Found so much similarities in how he got started...too bad, I wasn't born earlier enough

Thank you Warrior Mentor Sir, the skeptical-me would have skipped this had it not been for the recommendation in the book.

Excellent Book!

Sir,
I purchased your book several months ago and have read it several times. It is an excellent book that really opened my eyes to many techinques. Your boot lacing technique is used by at least half the Infantrymen in the Platoon I am serving in. Whenever a soldier would come up complaining of "shin splints" or Blisters, I would recommend your boot and lace technique to them. It single handedly dropped my post ruck march "casualties" to zero. I am looking forward to going to SFAS come my return from Afghanistan, and I am sure I will be glad to have read your book.

Thank you,
-Doc Z

Good reading. I have read it about four times and followed the little PT program and found it beneficial.

!st post - then going silent again

Could not buy the book on the http://www.warrior-mentor.com/ website. Ordered from Amazon and it arrived in two days.

Purchased for my nephew who is currently 18X OSUT at Bragg. Can't wait to 'quiz' the young trooper!

Thanks

I must have read that at least 100 times and wondered why anyone would violate rule #1. Then I stepped into the punji pit.

Correction made.
