Pay It Forward

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

Recently a student for an upcoming Grey Group Training class couldn’t make it. Instead of taking his deposit back, he asked that it go toward a deserving student. At that point, GGT realized that others would be willing to help out as well and Pay It Forward was born. This is how GGT explains the program on their site.

Started by a kind student who couldn’t attend his class, he graciously gave his deposit to another worthy student. We asked our customers and overwhelmingly the opinion was it should be a member of our Armed Services or Law Enforcement, and specifically, someone wounded and in need. Our solution is to pay it forward by offering you the ability to give money toward a class slot. It doesn’t have to be much because anything can help. Once there is enough money for a class slot we will find a worthy student and offer it to them. Because of YOUR kindness, Grey Group Training will match it with another free slot to a training class. We are working with local and national organizations to find people that have given so much for our country and our freedom, and give back to them. Please pay it forward and contribute what you can.

if you’d like to pay toward a tuition visit store.greygrouptraining.com/PAY-IT-FORWARD.

If This Resonates

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

If this meme resonates then it’s time we come clean with you. Soldier Systems Daily isn’t written for you. We appreciate you visiting, but please understand that we write stories about the tactical industry for those that insist on performance. Quite frankly, some of the stuff we cover is downright expensive but we’re ok with that.

Inexpensive is fine, but cheap isn’t what we’re shooting for. Please don’t come in and complain about prices for the gear we cover. We don’t care and either do the folks that we actually write for. They understand, it’s the cost of performance. However, if you actually know that something promises a lot but doesn’t deliver, speak up, with facts. We’re all ears.

Remember, buy quality; cry once. Regardless of price.

Silencerco has just announced the launch of SuperiorSilence.com, where customers can currently shop for Silencerco, ‘Silencers Are Legal’, and SWR products.
