G.I. Jobs Article: What I Look for in a Team Member


Glen's newest article for G.I. Jobs has been posted: What I Look for in a Team Member.

"If you are reading this on G.I. Jobs, you likely understand what it means to be on a team. More than likely you’ve seen what happens when a team succeeds, or when one fails to function at all. Perhaps you’ve even experienced leading your own team. Before I go any further, let me explain what the term “team” means to me: it’s a group of people with different experiences and complementing skills who are headed for the same goal together."

The Total Carry System - it's more than just a gun


"If you carry a gun everyday it won’t be long before someone asks you, or you ask yourself, how can this be done more comfortably? Like most things in firearms culture, it is a constant balance."
Our good friend, training associate, and fellow instructor Jason from TCB Firearms and Holsters had an awesome article about the Total Carry System posted over on IRON Mike Magazine - you can read the entire article by clicking here.

When we had Jason on the The Arms Room earlier this year, we talked about the Total Carry System and why it's so important - check out that episode here. Jason also told us his awesome story about why he got into carrying a gun and training in the first place, so be sure to listen to that episode to hear more about it.

Rocking the M60 full auto just for fun

Sometimes we have to be reminded that going shooting isn't always about training, and nothing can remind you of that better than some belt-fed M60 goodness. Burning some powder is good therapy, and we like to do it from time to time for no particular reason. Glen, our head instructor, was out with some friends and decided to do a short belt dump from an M60 - good times!

Thanks to Bear for use of the M60!
