I did a post on the best helicopter night flyers in the world a while back. SOCOM’s TF 160th pilots are the best in the world in my opinion, these guys have more night vision flying time then most career airlines pilots have total hours. %EMBED3% I’m glad to see Hutmacher’s (Commander of US Army […]
I think that most Special Operations personnel are compensated fairly for their service with exception to their retirement. That’s a different story all together. The fact that an E-9 cook (no offense) behind the wire will get the same retirement as an E-9 Green Beret has always bothered me. Spec Ops special pays should calculate […]
Norwegian SOF. Look for SOFREP TV’s upcoming series early next year on US and Global Special Operations Units. In the meantime, have a look at the Norwegian SOF. 1:23 shows them doing “bundle jumps”, pretty sick. %EMBED3%
Here’s a great look at the German KSK. If you’ve read my book The Red Circle, then you know that the SEALs did the first US/German joint Special Operations missions in Afghanistan post 9-11.

You don’t have to look very far these days to realize that the inter-service “Camo Wars” has been a disaster and ultimately produced some terrible looking (and more importantly, poor performing) camouflage uniforms.

In the Fleet’s Operational Marine Mammal Systems (MMS), the Navy uses dolphins and sea lions to find and mark the location of underwater objects. Dolphins are essential because their exceptional biological sonar is unmatched by hardware sonars in detecting objects in the water column and on the sea floor. Sea lions are used because they […]
I’ll be the first to admit that my appreciation of the arts hasn’t taken me far into the topography of the playhouse. I’m an indy film, live music, dusty bookstore, and occasional art museum kind of guy. Last week I received a last minute call from my literary agent Margret McBride, who also resides in […]
I usually don’t read many SEAL books unless my friends write them, and Marcus falls into that category. His book SERVICE is a solid piece of work. Below is my review from Amazon: Marcus was a student of mine when I was the Course Manager for the Naval Special Warfare Sniper program (Navy SEAL course). I also […]
