Planning is important. Preparing is important. Training is important. But if all you ever do is train in your comfort zone, you may only be preparing yourself to perform in your comfort zone.

We can all sit around and imagine how we would handle a bad situation. We can tell ourselves we would stay calm, make the right decisions, and handle business when things get spicy. But imagination isn't a test.Put yourself in realistic scenarios. Add pressure. Add fatigue. Add uncertainty. Make decisions when your heart rate is up and things aren't going according to plan.

That is where you find out what you actually know, what you actually can do, and where the holes in your preparation are. The goal isn't to prove you're tough. The goal is to find your weaknesses before a real situation finds them for you. Plan. Prepare. Train. Then test yourself.

Because when the real moment comes, you don't rise to the occasion. You fall back on the level of preparation you've earned. Never Quit.

Sometimes the quiet moments speak the loudest.

One dog. One person. One partnership that can help change a life.

For the person on the other end of that leash, a Service Dog can become another powerful tool in their healing journey providing support, confidence, independence, and companionship through moments others may never see.

But we cannot do it alone.

Your donations make these partnerships possible. Every gift helps provide the training, veterinary care, equipment, and ongoing support necessary to prepare a Service Dog for someone who has sacrificed so much for us.

They were there for us. Now it’s our turn to be there for them.

Please consider making a one-time or recurring donation at www.k9h4h.org

We do a whole lot more than kickass patches.

Most important leadership lesson: "People follow those who stand beside them, not those who lead from behind a title. Shared work and shared hardship build trust far faster than authority does.

📢 Sound on for this one because George Carlin was right.

Here’s some behind the scenes of our art department building this design by hand. No AI. Hand drawn digital. Stylus on glass. Layers stacked the hard way on a PC by people who still know how to draw.

But, to the point of the shirt:

It’s a big club … and you ain’t in it.

The owners. The media. The machine. Same club they use to beat you over the head all day telling you what to think, what to buy, and who to vote for.

He was right about it all.

We made this for the people who actually notice.

Limited shirt drop. Link in bio.

Want something custom? Don’t send a prompt. Send an idea. We’ll scratch it out by hand.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m still friends with his wife on here and we’ve kept in touch … or because Jamie’s birthday was last week … or because I just turned 50 last month. But this has been on my mind a lot.

I almost feel selfish even saying that. He lived a whole lifetime of impact. I still see it in the way Tonianne loves him. I only got 20 minutes on the phone with him.

Those 20 minutes have never left me.

Two Marines who never served together … laughing like we had. He was almost out of time and all he wanted was something for his Heavy Guns brothers to hold at that last reunion.

That’s one of the reasons we operate the way we do. That’s why I’m proud to be a Marine.

Brotherhood isn’t a slogan. It’s showing up when the clock is almost out.

Keep Tonianne in your prayers. She still doing the work to honor our brother in every way, and even though I only knew him for 20 minutes, I know how proud he is shining down on her from above 🫶

Semper Fi.

The Mainstream Media is so tone deaf they don’t even realize that pulling out of the press pool in unison just confirmed they don’t compete for truth anymore…

They’re also in unison when they coordinate and push every narrative designed to keep us divided.

Turn that s**t off.

“it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy.”

Some of you have asked about the shirts and workout gear I wear. If it is not a shirt we provide in the Gear Locker or Fort Scott Mu*****ns Storefront it is usually apparel from my line made by my good friends at THADDEA. They have men's and women's gear approved by me and my wife. 🤙😎💪❤️
