People on the national news, Twitter and elsewhere are very focused on the borderline "third world" conditions to be found in Sochi, where the Winter Olympics begin tomorrow. Though unappetizing, the presence of dingy yellow tap water is not in our mind nearly as...
Mad Duo Chris had a guest article appear on Military.com yesterday. Today it's on their front page in the list of "Top 9" carousel stories. It's an op-ed that's going to stir the pot - as will his questioning why the real story about heroic acts is not enough for...
Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. Imperfect practice makes rehearsed. You've heard a lot of advice on different training philosophies - ways to maximize the results you achieve. The fact is, desultory training (grunts: desultory) is a...

We're running this again because it fits right into this week's theme about EDR, EDC, SA and mindset. Mindset is more than than the memorization of some acronyms (though we do love us some acronyms), handy phrases like Sheep Dog and color codes. There, we said it....
This commercial is incredible. There are several organizations like this in the United States and others (places like Paws & Stripes and others). If you know of a service dog organization worthy of support (whether in the US, the Netherlands, the UK, anywhere)...
