Maxwell Daily Dozen for Joint Mobility
To Be a warrior is to be self-possessed, centered, acutely aware, and empty. It is a very particular state of mind, one which focuses on the moment, free of doubts and idle speculations. "In a world where death is the hunter, my friend there is not time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions".

Rules For The Gunman From Gabe Suarez
1). Don't carry the gun to make you a man. Carry because you are in fact a man.
2). Always carry your gun regardless of social pressures
3). If you can't physically carry a gun, always have a knife.
4). Whenever you carry a gun, also carry a knife...and some spare ammunition.
5). Carry the gun you can use best regardless of social fashion
6). Make sure you are good with that gun through continual and obsessive practice
7). Don't bluff or threaten with the gun. If you pull it, be certain you are justified and willing to use it.
8). Using it means shooting the other man or men in the chest and/or the face. Yes, it means killing.
9). If you can avoid having to shoot, it is a good thing, but do not second guess yourself once it has begun.
10). To facilitate the former, do not go to stupid places with stupid people to do stupid things at stupid times.
11). If you are involved in such activities, take a team with you....and rifles.
12). The default should be to mind your own business.
13). The only time minding your own business is superceded by getting involved is if what you see shocks the conscience of humanity and needs to be stopped.
14). The amount of violence you can justify and the number of rules you can break is directly proportionate to the level of evil displayed by your adversary.
15). Never apologize for using violence. Not only is it indicative of weakness but also of a lack of moral standing.

The current evil we are seeing has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with what is in people's hearts and minds. We need to change folks and it won't happen by giving up our guns. A lot of it has to do with what we feed our heads. Here is a link to help effect that change.

Logic? What Logic?
Red Team Mindset part 1
Defense is an act of negation. It brings no victory, instead making us fearful, paranoid, angry and uncooperative. Our negative, defensive outlook has colored our politics, hampered our economy and hamstrung our strategies. Individually, many Americans retain inner go — the unswerving view of our changing world as an endless fount of opportunity. Collectively, however, we must regain our lost focus on a positive vision for the future. We must exalt those who create value in our society: parents, teachers, workers, builders, entrepreneurs, innovators. We must go forth confident that we can lead a changing world by continuing to create, by working together and by living the sorts of fearless lives that our fallen lived

Combat Profiling
What to do When the Ammo has Gone: Dry Fire Drills
What happens when the Pentagon asks a retired Marine General to act as a bad guy for wargames against an invading US force and the General hands the Pentagon their ass when he goes low tech and refuses to play by their rules? Why they reset the game and reset the rules so the General has to lose, of course. So much for training for the fight.

The Moscow Rules - we may need these here
I Do Not Choose To Be A Common Man
By Dean Alfange
I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon— if I can. I seek opportunity not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, "This I have done."

Light and Fast EDC - Cool pics ahead, keep it simple, keep it fast, speed is life!
Greetings all, I am going to begin accepting students within the next 30 days. I will teach private sessions, one on one or small groups, up to five students at your location. That's right, I come to you, learn in the privacy of your own home. I have several programs to choose from based on what YOU want to learn, empty hands, contact weapons or firearms. If you live in Northeast Ohio and are interested, email me with your contact info and we'll talk. Look forward to hearing from you.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, the raffle for the RESCO watch has been stopped because Paypal doesn't allow it's use for raffles, even ones for extremely worthy causes. If you still want to contribute scroll down and learn how. Please tell your friends. From now until the auction and raffle ends I will donate ALL proceeds from any sales on the site ads to both of these, an equal split between them. Now get behind these, support our warriors and their widows and orphans.

Last week a friend dear to me was killed in astan. Jesse got killed when during a firefight, he broke his cover behind a rock formation and ran to help a wounded operator. He managed to drag the operator to safety just in time. He got shot in the neck and died soon after. He was survived by a wife and 3 kids.
PayPal as a gift to mr.aleph@gmail.com
Due to PayPal requesting I don't use teem for raffles, since this violates their terms of service agreement, I am stopping raffle.
If you still want to send a donation, you know the email. DO NOT WRITE RAFFLE ANYWHERE PLEASE.
I'll draw the winner on Memorial Day. Thanks you all!

Families of the DevGru men killed in Afghanistan after the ubl raid are pissed - and they should be! Why is there little to no mention of this, or the Benghazi hearings?
As John Robb, author of A Brave New War, stated in his blog on April 20th, “However, over the long run, I believe this ["shelter in place"] phrase is going to look as silly as ‘Duck and Cover’ does to today’s world. The reason is simple. As the number of disruptions increase, we’re going to face a choice. We can either stay under constant lock-down, or we can become resilient.”
