Women’s Self Defense Weekly: Less-Than-Lethal Defense Options

I wanted to take the time to cover some basic less-than-lethal options. Because let’s face it, no girl wants to get their Rick Owens boots or Jimmy Choo’s shoes all messy with shooting somebody for real. Right? Chances are you don’t have the time to train properly with a firearm anyway.  And for practical reasons, […]

A Look At Spec Ops & Basic Sniper Training

I had a great talk with Buck Sexton of GBTV’s (Glenn Beck TV) show, The Blaze, about modern snipers the other day.

The SPEC OPS Channel Announcement

I wanted to take this time to update you guys on where we’re going with the SOFREP TV.  It was my vision to have a show where you got a peak behind the curtain of the Spec Ops TEAM room. I think I’ve accomplished this and I’m already working on the next season that will […]

Hunger Games: The U.S. War on Drugs

Photo: What Crystal Meth Does to the Mouth. The New York Times did a story a few days ago about fighting the drug war in Honduras and applying lessons learned in Iraq.  The War on Drugs is such a joke to me. It amazes me that we can (yes “we” are responsible as citizens) can […]
