  SUMMARY: When I first got out of the Army in 2005 I was hitting the ground running and nothing was going to stop me. I was very successful in the Army and my plan was to apply those same ideas and principles to my life and career outside the military. What I discovered was a huge shock to my system... What made me successful in the military was not going to make me successful now that I was out.   What I also found was that there was a lot of things I didn't know, and for that matter was never taught. Even more, I didn't know who could, or would teach me all these things I didn't know but desperately needed to!   Over the next several weeks I am going to talk about 11 things that never get taught but you need to know! There is obviously way more than 11 things, but I picked these 11 things to start off this conversation.   If you want all the links, resources, and free downloadables for this and all the other episodes in this series it's easy... All you need to do is follow these steps...   #1 Click on the

This week we return to the sport of USPSA from the beginner's point of view. We discuss scoring, penalties and the several types of stages you may encounter in a match. If you're going to compete, you need to know how the sport is scored and, if you're like me and make a lot of mistakes, where you're losing points for mental errors or going too fast and hitting a no shoot.

It’s spring.  That means a couple things to most people. Baseball. Allergies. Warm weather (Just not in Massachusetts where we’ve had rain, snow and cold consistently since the end of deer season. Except February. February was warm. I don’t understand, either.). And to those of us who hunt, it means those things plus waking up at three in the morning to creep into woods to chase and hopefully shoot a turkey. Turkey hunting is one of the most fun, exciting and deeply frustrating pursuits, but hearing a gobbler hammer from the brush and head your way is a pulse-pounding experience! We discuss the ins and outs of turkey hunting from the beginner's perspective: What do you need to know, what do you need to do, what do you need to own.
