*disclaimer - All videos and content here in is done by a current and trained US Army officer in combat occupation which consisted of years of training and deployments from multiple entities, schools, personal expirience through deployments. “Resume” in the channel’s “ABOUT” section. Deployments that consisted of leading platoon and company/troop size units. In addition to being a commissioned officer University of Pittsburgh ROTC (then Panther Battalion), I also hold a b.a.History. I urge individuals to seek out training. Even i seek private training to make myself more proficient in arms and situational awareness as these skills can have fleeting portions. As an American it is your civil right to own a firearm as protected by the 2nd Amendment, I believe it is your moral obligation to seek individual training in my opinion.
