Hello. Glad to be a new member, here. I joined up because I liked what I saw, after a professional contact and friend of mine who was already a PS member referred me to it.

I'm not a military, law enforcement, or PSC operator. I currently work as a civilian consultant/advisor in the Defense and Homeland Security fields. Technologies I am currently involved with include, but are not necessarily limited to, infantry small arms, weaponized robotics systems (UGV and UAV/UCAV), ballistic armor systems, and electro-optical systems. My primary focus is anything that will enhance infantry warfighter lethality and survivability.

I'm also a writer. As of this writing, I've written for DefenseReview.com (which I own and operate), Military.com SoldierTech, Special Operations Report (print magazine), and Guns & Ammo Combat Arms Annual 2006 (article on AA-12 Full-Auto Shotgun, featured on the cover).

I've received some professional tactical shooting instruction over the years. More recently, I was fortunate to be able to learn some Israeli anti-terrorism and counterterrorism/CQB/CQC doctrine and TTP (tactics, techniques, and procedures), as well as philosophy/mindset. The law enforcement agencies hosting the course very graciously allowed me to go through it with their SWAT units and visiting Federal LE and military personnel. The course involved live-fire and force-on-force drills, and I was the only non-Mil/LE allowed to participate.

I grew up in Chicago (city, not suburbs), and have lived in Miami, FL for a number of years.

Hopefully, I can contribute in some kind of positive way to this board.

Edited for clarity.

Welcome aboard. Certainly do not have your credentials, but I have been the recipient of professional tactical shooting

I went to your website - the "about us" button doesn't work. Just thought you might like to know.

Hello, glad I found this site

Good evening. I came across this site while conducting some research on SF. June 18 will be my EAS with the Marine Corps. I guess I am already beginning to feel a little akward about getting out so I started looking into the Army and naturally I began looking into SF.

I have not yet decided if it is an avenue that I would like to pursue yet. I am sure that this site will help me in my final decision when the time comes.

Thank you for providing a platform by which we may have our questions answered and voice some of our opinions.

mostly custom fabrication and performance related, ie custom plumbing for turbocharged/na cars, custom engine installs, performance enhancement, suspension setup and tuning, manifold design/construction, brake setup etc

Cool!

I have been thinking about putting a 427 cu in small block in my 04 Z06, the "Warhawk" block sounds like the way to go, can take it out to 454 if desired.


Take it to PM

hello fellow warriors

My first post here. I found your site while looking for some information on the death of my friend and hero MSG Kelly Hornbeck, 3/10 SFG. I have been in the army in one form or another for 10 years now. Have served with both Regular Army and SOCOM units and returned recently from OIF III. I am currently putting that experiance to good use as a OC/T for units deploying to OIF and OEF. I normally am stationed at Ft. Lewis, but am currently on loan down at Ft. Bliss. With keeping OPSEC in mind, this could be a good place to keep up to date on enemy TTP's so we can keep our training up to date. Official lines are often slow as we all know. Anyone can contact me privately at my email address so we won't be posting anything that could lead to more soldiers being hurt.

Intro

Helllo All,
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this. I think this is "good shit" for sure.

I'm enlisted, in Army Aviation and work in the best job you could ever imagine with the best people...like we all do, or should. Yeah, I deploy alot. As a small town boy from Nebraska, that's what I wanted when I joined.

It was great day for all of us for sure...kill all of them for Allah to sort out!

QP
Joel

Excited for the road ahead.
