With America’s longest war winding down, at least from a personnel perspective, veterans are returning to civilian life, and as a result to their service, carry with them scars, both physical and mental. To cope, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been allocated nearly 200 billion dollars a year in an effort to ensure veterans are […]

The M&P line is well-respected for a reason. Over the years, they have proven to be well-made and reliable duty-worthy weapons. I carry a Shield quite often, own an M&P9, and have owned several of the M&P products over the years, including a good little AR.  The first handgun I ever loved was my dad’s […]

The tactical shotgun is a misunderstood tool. It’s often seen as old school and easily replaced by the modern carbine. The shotgun is a viable weapon that has the ability to be the most versatile weapon in an armory. The shotgun is a very powerful weapon, for this article we are looking at the 12 gauge […]

So, here I was in the Erbil Rotana, itching to get started on our documentary. But before we were headed anywhere, we had to do all the basic kit check and preparation required, as well as get the most up-to-date briefing on the situation on the ground. There was plenty to do. First was a trip […]

A new documentary released by Joe Joynt depicts Rangers assigned to 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions in combat in Afghanistan.  During the course of these deployments, Rangers Justin Allen and Jonathan Peney tragically lost their lives.  This short documentary reminds Americans that we are still at war in Afghanistan, a war that many would like […]

Most people are familiar with the statistics commonly bandied about regarding the relatively high divorce rates of military personnel. Although these rates generally are not quite as high in non-military populations, divorce remains relatively common among veterans. Questions commonly arise as to what impact the end of a marriage will have upon veterans’ military pensions. The […]

Israel Del Toro was on the verge of completing a final, unbelievable stage of his comeback. After miraculously surviving third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body, Del Toro has returned […]

Read A Marine goes to college (Part 1) here. Being back in school took some getting used to, but not in many of the ways I anticipated. My first attempt at going to college ended before it began.  I was a high school football player with aspirations that didn’t extend further than just finding a […]
