An article recently published by the Intercept is attacking Rep. Ryan Zinke’s character, thereby questioning his ability to serve as the Secretary of the Interior for President-elect Trump.  The article titled, “Trump’s Pick for Interior Secretary was caught in ‘Pattern of Fraud’ at SEAL Team 6” uses unnamed sources to accuse Rep. Zinke of intentionally and repeatedly flying back […]

Today REST. Finish your Christmas shopping and drink lots of water. By now the cumulative effect of the rucking should be stacking. Rest, today, get rest and prepare for a longer endurance ruck movement tomorrow.

No one is more skeptical of so-called “reality” television than I am. On those very rare occasions when I actually watch cable TV (who does these days other than our parents?), I quickly flip past any and all reality television shows. They aren’t reality, but are rather cheaply made faux dramas that only exist so that the big […]

Washington, D.C. – Congress has asked the Secretary of Defense to submit a written report next year detailing enabling support each service provided to special operations forces. The report is required within 180 days of when the Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act becomes law. Congress passed the $619 billion measure Dec. 8, and […]

Christmas is right around the corner. But the holidays are not an excuse to get lazy and not exercise. I just returned from a Ruck Run on the national mall. If you were driving by the Smithsonian between midnight and 1 am you would’ve me miserably dragging along. Truthfully, I love running late at night. […]

If you were to ask a sampling of American security and intelligence officials for their pick as the gravest threat to face the United States from global jihadists, you might be surprised by the answer you would hear. If you listen to official Washington, or the establishment media, for your answer, you might hear: a […]

The following is a Red Team case study of a hypothetical terrorist attack on Kansas City, Missouri. It is an attempt to highlight what an ISIS-inspired attack might look like on a mid-size American city, located not in the Northeast Corridor, nor on the West Coast, but in the middle of the United States. The […]

Vehicular attacks have been on the rise in the past few years. It’s less rare and emerging as a possible common tactic for newly radicalized terrorists. On the evening of 14 July 2016, a 19-ton cargo truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, resulting in […]

I’ve noticed that my hips have become increasingly tight as the rucking and ruck running compounds. If there’s no other warm-up, stretching, or activity you do other than working out for the day – the Pigeon and Hip Flexor stretch is a must right now. Training: 1) 1 round. In whatever order and complete the reps. […]

The most disturbing trend in American politics for me personally is not the election of Obama, Trump, or the near miss we had with Hillary.  What really concerns me is how Americans increasingly see our republic as a zero-sum game in which there are two ideologies represented, one good, and one evil.  The Sith versus […]

Washington, D.C. – A leading member of the House Armed Services Committee is challenging how the commanding officer of Army Special Operations Command has explained inconsistencies regarding the decision to move forward with the Distributed Common Ground System. The Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) is a computer network used to process and disseminate intelligence, such as […]

Tonight I went out in the cold and ruck ran about four miles. It’s been cold on the east coast and because of this area, DC, is like a swamp the cold is bitter. But, that Ruck warms you up, quickly, and I barely noticed it was cold out. I enjoy Rucking more than I […]
