I would argue yes, the order does matter. Something that’s been ingrained in me since my days in BUD/s is the order in which I dress.
As I was getting dressed this morning, putting my pants on first, I thought I’d write about why we were taught back in the day to dress in a certain order. [Read More…]

I live in the Socialist Republic of California, where we take gun control to the extreme. I’m not too sure of the exact language of all the gun laws we have here, but I’m pretty sure you can still possess a BB-gun as long as it is a single-load, one-pump deal and you use soft rubber projectiles.
Because of all the restrictions on capacity, we need to make sure every shot we fire finds its mark. In the other 49 states across our Great Nation, feel free to spray and pray, but when in the Republic…Gun Control rules the day.
Today I’m going to address three amendments that need to be added to the current list of gun control laws. By enacting these laws, you will find that not only will your rounds will be delivered safely to their intended target, but you will even save money by wasting less ammunition. [Read More…]

Imagine if there was a law that all car seats had to be set to the same distance from the steering wheel. It didn’t matter how tall you were, your body shape or if your arms looked like you came from Planet of the Apes – You will keep that seat in the same position!
OK, wait…if it’s a manual transmission you can scoot a little forward, but for automatic slide that seat back to the approved seat-length.
Sounds strange? Of course it does; but why doesn’t it sound strange when a firearms instructor tells you the “law” about where you need to put your finger? [Read More…]

As we continue to build our article library on diving, I’d like to branch off with a few articles on the basic principles of swimming, how our military uses it and why you should work it into your exercise regimen.
Today we’ll be addressing some core information on swimming as a skill-set and looking at combat, lifesaving and fitness applications. [Read More…]

The Associated Press is reporting that SO1 Huertas was found not guilty on charges of dereliction of duty and attempting to influence the testimony of another service member.
While these heroes shouldn’t even be on trial in the first place, this is wonderful news to wake up to this morning! One down, two to go.
Here’s some interesting information from the AP story: [Read More…]

We’ve never considered ourselves a News Web site, and try to stay away from political issues, but this is just something that hits way to close to home for us.
Hopefully you all remember the horrible incident depicted in this image, where four Blackwater contractors were ambushed by insurgents on March 31, 2004.
They were subsequently dragged from their vehicles, burned, paraded through the streets and strung up on this bridge across the Euphrates in Fallujah, Iraq. [Read More…]

Today we’d like to show you how to build a cool way to store and display your gear.
This idea originally came to us after viewing the Marc Lee and Michael Monsoor memorial a few years ago on the SEAL Team Three Quarterdeck.
Under glass cases, they have Lee and Monsoor’s gear prominentley displayed for all to see.
We thought this kind of wooden stand would be the perfect way to hang up heavy body armor that typically breaks normal hangers, and also easily access your gear. [Read More…]

We’ve put together a video showing all the knots from the “How to Tie Knots Like a Navy SEAL” series tied underwater.
In the video we’ve recreated the BUD/s (Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL) Underwater Knot Tying Test.
At BUD/s the test is performed in the 15 ft. section of the CTT (Combat Training Tank), where students must swim out to a waiting instructor who is treading water over trunk line on the bottom of the CTT. [Read More…]

Our final Underwater Knot Tying Test “Knot of the Week” continues with the fifth of five knots taught to Navy SEAL candidates at BUD/s.
The Right Angle is a knot that is typically used as an alternate to the Clove Hitch, which we went over last week.
When used, the Right Angle creates a more secure knot than the Clove Hitch and if you know how to tie the Clove Hitch, you know how to tie the Right Angle. [Read More…]

This week’s “Knot of the Week” continues with the fourth of five knots taught to Navy SEAL candidates at BUD/s for their Underwater Knot Tying Test.
The Clove Hitch is an especially important knot taught at BUD/s, which also has it’s purpose rooted in demolition.
A Clove Hitch is the preferred knot to fasten det cord (detonation cord) to underwater obstacles, linking them together in a chain for demolition. [Read More…]
