I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Invist the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? behind the lines in occupied territories, northeast, southeast, work at wtprn.com and on Liberty Tree radio. We're also on AM&FM micro stations, AM&FM major stations, CB Bay stations and alternate technologies both each today. By the way, Mike, today's date is? 19 August, 2008. It's Tuesday. It is a beautiful day to outside. How's it looking down your neck of the woods? You guys still getting rain? Uh, the up north we are. Down here I think it rains last Wednesday, Thursday-ish, but it's on a low 100, 100, 608 type stuff, and it's real humid though right now, real uncomfortable outside. Tropical and muggy, except they're actually getting some moisture, or they did get some moisture. In fact, they're going to give us an overview because, well, you're back with what happened this last week with the training exercise down there in Arizona. So go right ahead, please. Okay, very good. We know we've been kicking it around here lately. The 14th to the 17th of August was our training up in, it turned out to be beautiful flat Arizona. Initially we were going to do an affinate, get kind of deserty and hot out there. Last minute a full property became available, thickly wooded with a ponderosa pine, a magnificent country. We were up 9,000, kind of had a little bit of everyone's house because there's so thick. So we covered map and compass. We talked about identification of topographic symbols, showed everybody how to figure out grids. We did magnetic azimuths and showing how to use a lens static compass. We used a terrain features. NBC, nuclear biological chemical, we talked about the care, the maintenance, the donning, the adjusting and the fitting of your protective mask. Sanitation, we went pretty hard and heavy into night vision to be confused with vision goggles and scopes and everything just had to do with the anatomy and physiology of the eye and visual purple and rods and cones and all their vision and dark adaptation and all those associated things. Plus all of which in the object is stationary or moving forward. Those are social communications. We talked about radios, frequent antennas and some of the people got a HTF treatment. Went into that pretty good for a couple of movements. The formations, hand and arm signals. Went out and actually practiced information about reconnaissance and establishing an objective rally point. We went out and walked all the way through that, moved out to another area and discussed on how to identify them and to be able to move across. We cover night movement techniques and we call Fox and Hound as to where we put our night movement techniques into the group stuff of them out. Give them three minutes to get down the road, take up a position and hide. the hounds go and after it rounded up and we turn it hounds are now the Foxes and people that did come in t from a Russian r p k a max. M 19 19 water cooled m 16 M 2 0 3 is the whole nine y in the password. Oh and by the way, had the opportunity that wa You've got the fire load them. You've got the anything you want, any questions, pretty in-depth, just recovered that, the running password and just the daily password. We as we would go through in training, we gave little ideas and hints, lines of about how you could do that. And then got everybody got a binder in there that had quite a bit of information in there so that they even though that we didn't actually get to cover them or discuss them, we were able to take those of the course And now it's up to them for homework so they can peruse those and they can understand some more of the things in depth so they can understand how they conduct the training on their own. Kind of it, there's a quick overview of what had occurred. One other thing, I just want to make this, Alfie did this one in Homa and it cost him at least. And this one I've added up just the rough cost and I came up with a hundred and ninety dollars. It's really unfortunate that willing to lay out that much information for the trans, you know, you'll get 10 or 20 people. I just want to make a listening chart. There is going to be no more free training in all this information and the money and then everything that's occurred. You're sadly mistaken. This is a tremendous investment and then we get all these people at 30 that they're going to show up, actually show up. So, it's to us to put the $700 to change. that maybe you go on the internet and look around and see what some of these Recondo schools and everything that's teach find out that the bottom end of it is about $350 and you can pay well over $1,000 for the for putting on here. I kind of am biased so I'm not really necessarily the person to me it's good and bad of it all obviously we didn't get to cover as many things that we had to hold at it real hard and presented them with the list that I've already covered over. One of the things though that did occur, and again now we were up at about seven to eight thousand feet and it didn't get down to freezing at night, but it got chilly and as I was always warning people, it up in that area it's somewhere between five and eighty-five. We've had one instance where he's into the training, one of these mineral, ford of other, blah blah blah, high energy, something or other drinks, and now I don't know the full story but I suspect that that's what their all assumption was and then in the afternoon of the last day he went down he had a temperature of about 95 degrees so he was suffering the signs of hypoia he had irregular pulse about 120 over 90 reading the bottle and it looks like it loaded with a couple hundred milligrams of potassium his body was all whacked out so we got a little bit of on the hand on the job medical stuff And that turned out all right. And then also one other thing, we did our patrols during the day and we went out and did the box on hand and then we were coming up. Some of the people that have brought up some of these other toys to play with, we star-lovered and just to be aware, you're trying to drink these, you're all everything that you need to still function into that. And that's another thing too with what we're doing. A lot of times they don't realize that you can dehydrate just as quickly, if not quickly. environment because your body is tremendous amount of calories. You need to sit down, drink, or pre-hydrate before you do these missions and don't wait until you're wobbling back and forth to admit the problem there. The other thing about that too, again, with these, we're seeing a wave. At first it was, we'll sell you water. Okay, you know, we're just plain water. uh... then of course you have got a flavor in the high concentrate uh... uh... in fill in the blank types of uh... materials it can be extreme caffeine or whatever but they'll think you're going with now and you'll notice these are in the all the big chain stores they look like they should be either in a chemical shop or like photo no photo work in the lab shop bomb guys be quite honest with stuff i'm clear of based on the real well we could teach photography One of the things is, you know, I was looking at them, their design looked very clinical. They don't have a real lot of splash on them. They're clear containers and they're mineral supplement. Now they're good, provided just as Mike said, you incorporate normal water consumption with them. You can't replace, in other words, if you do too much of anything, like in any situation, extreme, you're going to have some physical response. You've got to have water moving through the system because water serves two purposes. It rehydrates, of course. Remember, it's also the evacuation process for waste. It's getting rid of or disposing of certain things that may have built up in the system. And again, remember when you are moving your muscles, especially when you're exercising, you are damaging. This doesn't sound good, but it's what you do every time. It's how you build up muscle tissue. You strain muscle tissue. It builds up specific acids and the body pulls them out. Well guess what you use? It goes through the urine, goes out through the system that way. This of course allows the body to pull the damaged tissue out of material out, replace it with new muscle tissue, and you build muscles like Arnold did before he was a little girly girl. Remember he got bigger. Well that's how it works, okay? So anyway, gotta understand these things, we're gonna talk more about this back in three minutes. Intel reports, second hour.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to the second hour of the Intelligence Report. It's the 19th of August, 2008. It's Tuesday. You're listening to Poker Face. PokerFace.com. Make sure you support all those people that are helping bring you the Intelligence Report. And by the way, if you haven't heard, now we've got the first hour back. So you can listen to us on both hours of the Intelligence Report. And I'm asking anybody that's out there that happened to come to the Flagstaff meet, that they can call in and give their assessment and their observations and opinions of what went on. The telephone number is 512-646-1984. 512-646-1984. Kind of the touch on it, and I understand we got Jeffrey and Kentucky and David in Oklahoma, but I just want to touch on this deal. You know, we're not ridiculing the person that did this, that this occurred to with these mineral supplement drinks. You know, this is a common mistake and a misconception on this. It's just the way the body is. You've got to have your fluid intake. Keep all that stuff going. You've got to pound those kidneys open. You develop your muscles, you're stretching and tearing those muscles, and then the by-products got to go somewhere and they have to be flushed out of your body. Just be aware if you get into a certain situation that don't think that this supplement mineral type drinks are going to save the day, you've got to still have Okay, enough said. Jeffrey and Kentucky, come on up. Yeah, sir. We got you, Howard. Well, while we're in our act about the water situation, we were getting mineral water from stuff we didn't know was mineral water. It was an Arabic. We were adding time mixes to it, kidney stones and stuff like that. So it's not a good, but make sure you know it's pure H2O. Exactly. That's one of the things that's interesting. Good point because Again, one of the problems with a multinational supply system, you experienced it first hand. What they say is what they say it is and what it is were two different things, wasn't it? Yes, sir. And what it led to was coming out of the surface screens and starting to get better and better and just chipping it over to us. Now we start having guys going down to kidney stones and our medical officer started looking around and see what the problem was and we got a translator over and come to find out with mineral water. And the second thing that I had problems with is it's got to do with your campaigns and what type of supplements you take. We had a lot of these idiots over there taking rip fuel, which if anybody knows what rip fuel is, it's pathetic. And they were taking it so away from guard duty where in the daytime it hits 140 degrees over there and that rip fuel will be hydrated real quick. So just like the supplements you take, you got to take a lot of water with them. Exactly. Well again too, now a lot of the times what we're looking at is to be a little milder than any mega dose of anything so much as just a consistent battery of supplements. One of the things too, you know, you might point out, remember all your MREs are vitamin supplemented too. You know, they're mineral supplemented and they're designed to throw your system, slow your system down. Then you've got resistant. To also be hydrated on top of that, you have to get a lot of water and that go to the IJT on top of that. Exactly. And that's one of the things that again, I'm with the Australian school, this goes back many years. The Aussies were very, very experienced in tropical warfare before we saw as much of it. And if you look, I don't care what period it is, you'll find that the Aussies, when they're in the field, canteen's everywhere. Canteen's all over the backpacks. Canteen's on their personal gear. Any place where they could carry extra water, they carried extra water because that's what kept them fighting. And they get that. Canteen, I'm sorry to interrupt. Same with the canteen, as we all have a lot of kids over there, we're calling kids basically, 18 year old kids, and putting the Gatorade supplement dropper into their canteen, they would go a couple days without drinking water, they would forget about it like in a two quarter of their camera bag, and that dark wet place is perfect for bacteria and mold to go, and next thing you know you gotta ruin canteen because you put supplement powder in. Exactly, mold generator. Yep. Okay, well there again, now that's another issue with regard to hygiene and also personal maintenance on a lot of the equipment. I know people sometimes just don't have the time to deal with it. The softer diaphragms or the camel packs would be more susceptible because it would be harder to clean. And I've gotten into this conversation many times with troops over the years. You know, the military doesn't like to spend a whole lot on us. So when they build stuff heavy, they build it for a reason. And the older canteens were designed to be, I mean, the regular old kidney-pounding canteen, everybody's familiar with them, in stainless or in plastic, were designed with very specific parameters, including maintenance and cleanliness, you know, being able to keep them clean, being able to get in the nooks and crannies rigid so they don't collapse, they don't fold. If they finally break on you, it is time to replace them. The advantage was at least being able to get in there and use them properly and not have to worry about the other issues that had come up in World War I, World War II, and into Korea. Because of this, they had experimented, but they kept sticking with the basic design for a reason. So the simple canteens are a good idea. Of course, you can still supplement with other packs, but you don't contaminate them. That's one of the issues, the soft bladders or diaphragms, they should be using purely water in them. And even then, eventually they're going to break down because you're going to move them, they're made out of a polymer, it's softer, you're going to see cracks and breaks, and eventually they're going to be a problem for you one way or another. I've got one question for you, sir. You already have, please. Where can you get a hold of the ERS mask that, one over 55? Oh, well actually, Geodetic Survey, US Department of the Interior has an entire element that does nothing but mapping. You can go pretty much to any scale that you want. Now, I'm pretty sure they're still in business. What I have done is taken either an ordered right from the Geodetic Survey map service, or you can go to a lot of the better, like if you're around a college campus, You can either go to the local camping supplies. We've got one here that has maps of pretty much most of Michigan. Or you can go to... Okay, then the other option is to try some of your college bookstores. Sometimes they have mapping there too, but that's, you know, again, that'll vary. The 1-50,000, you can order those directly from the GPO, Government Printing Office. go through the GPO, it's the Department of Material Geodetic or Geological Survey, and they have them. In fact, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll dig the information out. I've got it on file here, and we'll put it up on the air real quick tomorrow or on Thursday. How's that sound? Not a problem. Just google search yourself. Mike, go ahead if you had a comment real quick. Oh, another comment on some of my maps. It says the U.S. Defense Mapping Agency. You might want to do a search on that. I know that you can get a catalog from them and order maps anywhere in the world. Defense Mapping Agency. It's in Washington, D.C. It's a pretty clean land, anything like that. No, well that depends there's some areas that are restricted, but I don't think anything in the US is if it is you just can't buy them anyway Exactly those should be all accessible and there's more than just one to 50,000 you can go up to even more detailed mapping and You'll have to buy more maps to do it, but you can actually find different scale maps through G. Gpo Okay, thank you. All right. We got another caller David in Oklahoma Yes, hello there. Yes, David. Good afternoon. How you doing? Well, I understand that you were out there in the boondocks with Mike this last couple of days. Yeah, yeah, that was very informative. I just wanted to thank Mike Nesher for all and everything that I'd learned from him. Well, thank you very much. Do you have anything, what was your favorite and what was your least favorite or were they all favorite? I liked and what I got the most out of was the night vision. techniques and the night movement, no recon. One of the things there that I would point out and again most people have some background or have a little bit of the experience that's needed because they've been hunting or they've been out having to work at night. But one of the advantages of getting a class like this or being given a class like this is you did learn quite a bit I'm sure. We're going to have to expound on that though. We're going to go to break right now, bottom of the hour, second hour of the intel report Mike Neser. We got Dave from Oklahoma here calling in and we'll be back in about Three minutes here on We The People radio network.

You're listening to We The People Radio Network. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, your list of the second hour of the intelligence report is 19th of August 2008. It's Tuesday and we're talking from David in Oklahoma. Come on back up Dave. Yeah. Okay, you want to add any other things to what you saw, what you observed, what you thought? Yeah, I like the class instructors. The photos they brought out, I mean not only was you know getting an opportunity to once in a lifetime these weapons and find them. And not only that, but we got to load them and unload them and fire them and change the barrels and the whole nine yards, right? Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't just looking at them from behind some glass and some museum. No, yeah, you actually had an... Okay. And you were talking about those night vision things. Do you remember any of the stuff that we had covered over there? Yeah, I do. The medical part of it or the rods and the sheet and then your rod is for... Yeah, it's kind of, you know, you know those things kind of in the back of your mind, but when when somebody explains it to you and then teaches you how to actually see better and night it all kinds of falls, it's like pieces in a puzzle, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. And then when we went out and did the Fox on the Hound, did those techniques that we had discussed, did they uh, bought things in the night? Yeah, they did. Yeah, you know, you learn how it's coming by and they got their headlights on, you know, to close one eye. because on that bright light you see it and but yeah the scanning techniques that you know that you had taught us you know the Scanning left to right on the view at night it just kind of fades away and then it leaves kind of a ghost image and then Then you're asking yourselves what I was looking at was it really there or is it just my mind playing tricks on me? and then also then we talked about all the accused about remember the shortening and the movement and everything the linear persuade the right of peer that the lines convert And you know, when you're driving down the road and you've got a fence next to you on the side of the road and then the mountains that are far away, the piers that it's flashing by and the mountains appear that they're stationary even though they're all moving in the same speed and everything. So these are little cues that in your retinal image size, you remember that part about the different sizes of helicopters, but even though they cover the same, you need to know the different sizes. Your mind doesn't play tricks on you. think that it's the same as your aisle. One will be bigger and the other one will be smaller. Perception Registry, as a matter of fact, that's not an accident with many military vehicles for a reason, with armor or with aircraft. The idea behind it is that you're looking at something, you may perceive it to be a greater threat than it is if you're a little recon helicopter. Maybe it's good to look like something bigger. I don't want to mess with you. And vice versa, though, of course, you may also misjudge and perceive a greater threat than exists. So the most important, that's why they've trained people for years in silhouette identification when it comes to aircraft. Now, another thing are tanks. It's nice to have a smaller tank that somebody thinks is bigger. Well, a lot of different configurations sometimes are very much intentionally built to have the same lines as a heavier vehicle. Hopefully, it would get you out of trouble or at least force the other guy to hesitate. even though they don't talk about it as much, even the German, uh, Germany, World War II, the Panzer, Panzer IV was, you know, kind of being outclassed. They put up a bunch of shape armor around it. Well, it's not an accident that they made the shape armor, the standoff armor, to create the basic silhouette of the tiger. A little subroutine that was built into the design. Under the concept that you look at it, you think, tiger! Oh, I don't want to mess with the tiger. And you have to focus a little more, and of course, if you're paying attention to detail, which, well, when your life depends on it, you really do. that you know it with a second glance or a little more focus or more understanding of what you were looking at you perceive the target appropriately however if you're lucky somebody else would make a mistake and feed out of there the same is true when identifying targets in civil wedding uh... at night remember uh... that brush we don't want to be evacuating because we ran into a column cedar bushes embarrassing when you do that right guys That's the other reason for having a good command of how your physical night vision works. And then another component tied in with this is that some people are a little stronger than others with regard to night vision. So what you want to do is you want to test everybody on the same course and with the same parameters. And if you notice that there's somebody who seems to be moving faster, they're a little more adept at focusing at night, they can identify patterns more readily. your fire team and your squad you want to take advantage of because they're a more adept weapon for that environment. People think we're talking night vision the first thing that actually plugs into us, oh you got $2,000 worth of no no we're talking about using your personal night vision that exists within your skull okay your system is there naturally occurring thing it's a God-given gift now one in a million people or one in four million depending on the population group has perfect 100% night vision numbers they can see in the dark just as well as you can see in the daylight. If you have one of those treasures you protect that person. But you guys got a chance to see a wide range of training in a short period of time didn't you Dave? I was amazed at how much you know that we learned and how much instruction that sets that short period of time. So they attended the meetup in April, night movement techniques. Follow Mike's instructions. I don't know how to get out there. Well, I know I'm talking about as a teacher because one of the most important things is he did a good job, didn't he? Oh, yes, he did. Yeah. Okay. So most important here to get a member guys is that it's not that we don't know what we're doing. It's that people have to follow through and you're in Dave, you have a chance to see both exercises. Now here's another thing about reinforcing. Reinforcing is needed. I'm going to tell you right now, I've been doing this for probably about, well, you go back to when I first got in the military and I was 17 at the time. I've been doing this for 33 years, okay? And I will tell you flat out that I was taught by other instructors, I said always be respectful of any teacher giving a class because you may think that you know everything, but you're going to find out real quick that there are either A, new things that are discovered, or B, you may have forgotten or missed something because you were chewing bubble gum in another class where you shouldn't have been, okay? So, no matter how old you are in the trade, there is always a reason for sitting down. You do need refresher instruction. You also need to go through and go through the physical experience because you're going to have to practice what you preach. You can get the instruction, the written instruction, but you've got to physically go out and participate because there's one thing you really can't do. You can read books and you can get all kinds of good data from books. But until you get a chance to interact with nine other people or eight other people or four other people in the say a fire team You don't fully appreciate the intricacies that are involved and Dave you got a chance to see that in this during this training exercise, didn't you? Yeah. Yeah, that was very that was very neat to get into just reading about it in a book how we do it We actually went through the maneuver like in the medical units and you know learn about them and what they're used for. And that's critical too because again we're not just going to be putting targets, we're going to be putting bullets down range, we've got to keep our people alive and that may just include hearts and minds operations to keep people functional in areas where there may not be combat but there may be other types of medical problems that develop that require our assistance. So there's more than one purpose and all of this training does. We'll be back in about three minutes here with the People Radio Network with Dave. Hemp, the super food for you and your family.

Be the resistance. Tell your friends about BraveNewBookstore.com. Is there anything? Yeah, I just wanted to tell everyone all the investments that they've had and the experience. I mean, we need to do it. I mean, we're training now. Interesting things about this guy. Again, your total force strength on the ground was what, Mike? The trainers, there were four of us. Well, no, excuse me, six of us counting the two firearms instructors. Total force strength was 18. Yes, total force was 18 people. So again, that's basically, and remember, instructors are part of the, they're not just the class group, they're going to be participating in one form or another, although you have to monitor, etc. So you're going to be overwatching. There are different size operations taking place every weekend right now like this. And these guys are putting together what is a compressed course that normally everybody else is just, I mean, the price is not cheap. One of the things that we've argued is take advantage of this. Now some people didn't find out even with all the coverage we had until very, very late or they probably would have been there. And there are other people who are listening who were in the area who because of the different hours that they listened to, even though we brought it up, probably might have just missed to correct that with the next operation as it's planned. But there's going to have to be a little bit of compensation to cover expenses because these guys don't have bottomless pockets. The other again, one of the many things that could be done is they're the project to include bringing physical resources in. One of the things that we have as a policy with our training operations here in Michigan, when we had a general meeting, everybody brings a one gallon can of food. I don't care what it is, it could be pork and beans, it could be whatever you get to go to the big lot, dollar store type place, and you can get a can of plums for a 99 cents, a one gallon can of plums or whatever, bring them. That's fine, but that's part of the ongoing process. of building up tactical reserves in different locations. Well, we would go to a site, everybody brings canned goods, and we leave them. Even if we don't use them, we leave them. What does this do? It puts supply in place in advance for any other activity, be it a training exercise, a deployment slash combat operation. So that's one of the things you might be thinking about nowadays and we should look at in general. I've mentioned this in the past, but I need to reinforce it again that there are things we can do to support the instructors, but also we're going to have to cover the cost of getting, for instance, certain instructors to certain locations. And that is now going to have to be a real part of the formula because, again, if to happen. It's going to have to happen on a more regular basis. I will say this again, Dave, you're up north, but you'll be able to make this one. We've had many allies and friends asking for an operational exercise at this type in Texas. All you guys listening down there in Texas, you want to see it happen, but you're going to have to help make it okay. You got two, two individuals here who participated in the last couple of exercises that were designed to medical support and many many other skills. We are going to do the same thing again. Basically what these used to be called when you're in the military were called tack lanes. How many remember tack lanes? Now in a tack lane operation you would set up five or six very specific tasks. These tactical, these tactical operations or tactical steps were very narrow. In other words they were designed so you'd focus on a particular problem, calling up artillery. of first aid, basic first aid in any number of several different steps. Each tack lane would cover a specific area of expertise or area of interest that the unit might have a weakness in. The training officer's job was to look at the problems of the last exercise, look to see what it is that we need to fix or we need to reinforce these tack lanes, which would take usually the whole of the day, a squad, into one tack lane. another squad into the next one which is located, you know, say a quarter mile away or half a mile away and you rotate every team so that everybody cycles through every one of those tack lanes. You guys, Dave, got a concentrated form of version of that where you actually had a small infantry course or like a light BCT course to include many advanced info this four day period. It pretty well sank in, didn't it? And then I brought back my own notes and then the that Mike Nesher put together. There's another thing, it rained, didn't it guys? Big time. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. Only because you see, when I got in the military, I'm going to tell you a little secret here, and I'm going to tell you, that's why I tell everyone to carry your rain gear every exercise. Don't let somebody tell you, oh, don't carry that. You know, we're going to go light today, we aren't going to need it. Okay? Uh-uh, just reverse. The poncho goes on your own combat web gear and stays there, and preferably two of them would be best. But the point is, For years I would go out on training operations. We'd have a schedule where it says absolutely dry weather and it was guaranteed if we went in the field we were going to get rained on. To the point where it was almost like what I think nine years before we actually hit a day we went out there and we didn't know what to do because we had a dry weather day. We actually had a day where it didn't rain okay. So let's assume the worst and we won't be disappointed when it comes to moisture. Now moisture is not a bad thing because you're down there in the desert. You actually had what we well, it was a little higher up north, but it's a dry bit of real estate there by a dry part of the district you're in. So to get moisture is a blessing when your combat troops and you got to be keeping people in the field. Normally what we'd be doing is collecting the water and trying to figure out how to store it and how to purify it. And actually, that's right. That's not a bad thing. Now it's just you got a chance to experience all of the worst and best of the environmental conditions while you're in the field. Now Dave, you talking about going to the next one? Sure, I'll be there. I'll tell you what, after a while, Mike, you've got these experienced individuals. The one cool thing is you can also draw on them as assistants, too. Absolutely. Dave, we're going to sign you up as an instructor. You need to start thinking and review and then see which one you're going to teach next time. I can do that. Well, as we'll just put the word out, we're already talking about having another one in Oklahoma. So you need to keep listening to the intelligence report and keep your eye on off the grid girls.com because if you want in Flagstaff, this lot taught last time, come on, Dave, you are a no go. Game on you. And again, we had, by the way, you were also a participant in the live fire operations. We did a wide variety of weapons show up that were available for use. Yeah, there was. There was anywhere. I brought a 12 gauge with many sorts of energy and learned how to shoot with a gas mask. Now, this is something we've warned people about for many times over the years is that you've got to train with all of your equipment because we're going to be using the gas mask at the very least. You'll be putting it on to get out of a situation. Well, chances are the bad guys are going to try to be between you and the evacuation route. So you better be ready to use your weapon under those circumstances. And again, you had a chance to find out, well, a little different when lining up the sights with the gas mass system, wasn't it? Yeah, you got to tilt it or sometimes you can tilt your rifle a certain way to get it to line, to get on target. It did create a... Everybody again, shame on you if you said you were going. Those who did make it, congratulations. You got another exercise under your belt and a chance to perform, not just as individuals, but also as a team. uh... mike understand you're really proud of your uh... students uh... during the uh... night fire operation uh... when they were uh... taken an ambush absolutely yeah we were coming back from to our fox and how we were moving back to the road back for patrol based in the also there was this crack in uh... this wish sounded all of a sudden we were under illumination and everybody took cover a return prior It was excellent. Nobody had to tell them what to do. We had practiced this during the day of what to do and they reacted like professional soldiers. Like they'd been doing it all their lives, like they knew what was going on. And because of that, the instructor's job, the knowledge was passed on. The individuals performed the task accordingly, which means the students were listening and the teacher performed this task appropriately and got the message across. Well, congratulations to you guys. Dave, thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate it. And again, we're going to see you down there in Texas. We're going to see you over there in Oklahoma the next time, okay? Alright, I'll be there. God bless. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And ladies and gentlemen, Mike and myself, we're going to take off for now. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the march, both day and night. And when we say day and night, we mean day and night. 24-hour combat ability is the key, guys. We gotta win. To do that, we gotta know how to do it, we gotta train. Thank you, Mike. You keep up the good work. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless this world. Did you read this? Chicago just became the murder capital of America. I don't understand. It's been a felony to have a gun since 95. I thought that was supposed to prevent murders. I'd increase them. Criminals will always find a way to get guns, while the rest of us are just left defenseless. Chicago authorities have seized over 75,000 firearms since 1995, and now Chicago's murder rate is twice as high as New York City. Tonight, while you're asleep, criminals will be at work. Not in Kennesaw, Georgia. In 1982, our city passed a law requiring every household to have a gun. It terrified the criminals, and our violent crime rate is now 75% below the national average. We sleep well here in Kennesaw. Americans who own guns prevent over a million violent crimes every year and save lives. Get the facts. Visit armedandsecure.org. That's armedandsecure.org.
