Woman's Defense Weekly: The Eye Gouge-Palm Strike

@jessbvg You got it! I guess the weirdos and creeps want to keep this stuff on the down low! lol

 @katgirl from the Big Bang Theory:

Sheldon: – Because it’s almost eleven o’clock.

Leonard: So?

Sheldon: So, Penny has a don’t knock on my door before eleven o’clock  or I punch you in the throat rule.

@katgirl I'll take a bruise on the palm over something much worse any day. ;)

@Missliberty Your one up on most. I hate to say it but the women on many of our contracts are absolutely out of their depth when we start talking self defense. Guns scare them, pepper spray can blow back, actual physical confrontation is overwhelming. Seriously, consider yourself affirmed. I wish more women would stand up for themselves.

@Missliberty Anytime. These are weekly posts :)

@Missliberty

Umm, does your state require you to get a concealed carry permit for that? Most states permit a stun 'gun' without a permit because it doesn't fire a projectile, you have to touch it to the person by hand. But if it fires a projectile dart like the Taser does it's considered a concealed weapon without a permit. If you haven't already done so you might want to check into the legal requirements.

@Old PH2

"Petty Officer 1st Class Robert R. McRill, an 18-year veteran from Yorktown, became the first Navy cameraman killed in action since the Vietnam War when a roadside bomb blew up his vehicle during a special operations raid in Baghdad." And apparently the SEALs and other SOF are taking photographers with them on missions.

"Four Norfolk-based cameramen were awarded Bronze Stars in January for their actions in Iraq."

People sometimes labor under the mistaken impression that unless you are hosing the Cong with an M-60 or pulling a grenade pin with your teeth you're not really in combat. At Guadalcanal the Navy lost more people than the Marine Corps did. I mention Guadalcanal because there is the widely held perception that it was a Marine fight. Some even claim the Navy abandoned the Marines on the island. The Navy lost cooks, bakers, yeomen, phamacists mates, coxswains and all sorts of supposedly "non-combat" ratings. Over 3,000 of them. The Navy lost 2 aircraft carriers, 6 heavy cruisers, 2 light cruisers, 14 destroyers and dozens and dozens of aircraft and crews 'supporting' the Marine effort on Guadalcanal. Some of these non-combatant ratings spent days floating in the ocean fighting off sharks after their ships were sunk. And what was the Navy doing when it lost all these ships, men and planes? Nothing more glamorous than trying to deliver food, medicine, ammunition and water to the Marines on the ground and to protect them from attacks by the Japanese Navy.. In WWII the Navy lost twice as many men as the Marine Corps for all its bloody, heroic and headline making fights. I confess to a certain pride of service here, but history clearly shows there is no such thing as a non-combatant rating the in the Navy. Anyone who has ever dared claimed otherwise in my presense found out how quickly a 'fighting sailor' could get himself into close combat.

@Old PH2 Talk about a DB. Separate note: Would love to see some of your old photos on here! Let us know via the comms portal if you want to share.

@Missliberty You got it!

 @old and scarred gee and I thought "DB" referred to Decibel or Data Base! :P  WTF! (Why That's Fantastic!)

let's maybe get a little less butt-hurt about language.  Old, you may have served, I'd be surprised if you hadn't, since you're here, so not to go 90 degrees to what brandon said, but this site is called SOFREP, yes?  Have you ever been in a team room/ready room/weapons room? 

Perhaps you have, I'd guess you have.  It isn't PC, it's a bunch of people insulting each other about the size of their equipment, their sexual tendencies toward farm animals and.... we do it because it's the One Safe Place You Can Be Just A Cowboy. 

It's Brandon's site, but I feel comfortable here knowing that I can throw out a "what the fuck?" and not worry about polly pissy pants losing her shit over it.

These women's self defense articles are awesome, my wife, a retired AF officer frequents this place, and believe you me she's heard a lot worse.  Hell, she's SAID a lot worse.

Just push past it.

and yeah, I'm old, too.

@old and scarred Understood. We'll clean it up a bit in the future. Good feedback.

@Old PH2 these tips coming from guys who really fight for a living are like nuggets of gold???? you better appreciate these guys, no one else is going to hold your hand????

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!

damn son, grow a pair. you think these are the 'only guys' who fight for living? \

hero worship much? infatuated a bit? geez, you got it bad boy.

@Sol This lady does, and she's married so she's not looking to "get bedded". And I find the information helpful. Just sayin.

Also makes me wonder if you're just scared of getting a Surefire to the nose.
