Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

So I just got home from teaching a bunch of LEO (feds) Firearms Instructors. I can honestly say it was the most fun I have had in awhile. Was it challenging? Was it intimidating? Was it long arduous days? You bet.
But being surrounded by that caliber of men is just so absolutely motivating I cannot explain it to you if you have never been exposed. Turns out most were not just instructors they were Dept heads and program managers. We taught the big boss and his number one as well. We are talking from the Air Force Sniper program head that is on loan to the Army sniper division. You can only imagine the crap he puts up with everyday! To Three of the guys that conduct the training for the folks that guard our nukes. A coast guard head assaulter, this guy has been boarding boats and taking down bad guys for 15 years and just joined the cadre. Multiple X rangers the list goes on and on. The pure quality and passion for what they do is evident every minute of every day. At one point two of them got in a small challenge, as you can imagine no challenge was simply passed off or untested! Next break They got in the hallway, faced off, went beak to beak dropped and did true old school (is there any other kind) push-ups in cadence with each other till there was only one. That kind of men! This Country is still the best on earth because of men like that. I am proud to contribute in any small way I can. Long story short we were told we did an outstanding job and they already want us back in the spring after the holidays. No finer compliment in my opinion. These are highly intelligent motivational type men. You cannot bluff, posture or pretend with them, In my best Yoda voice, you either can or cannot, there is no try. Wow what a week!
