Wednesday, October 8th, 2014Time For Your Quarterly Counseling
Monday, September 29th, 2014SSD is reaching more people than ever. Unfortunately, it seems that all too many of these folks think this is Facebook or a forum or some other Internet playground where they they can talk smack without any repercussions.
“I’m going to go on SSD and talk $hit about everything today.”
If that’s your mission statement, find something else to do.
The Internet dehumanizes. Don’t let it happen to you.
SSD only has a couple of rules and those are very simple.
-Whether you praise or criticize, provide substance.
-Don’t say anything on SSD that you wouldn’t say to the person’s face.
That’s it. Move out and draw fire.

MDM – Marathon Targets
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014Marathon Targets offers smart targets for Live-Fire training. These autonomous, wheeled targets offer the ability to engage moving targets. Think of it as a four-in-one system. It can be used as a stationary target, pop-up target, left to right movers or autonomous moving targets.
The targets incorporate speakers and can move up to 12 mph on puncture proof tires. When properly engaged it works as a pop-up target and will go down which is programmable for the number of shots in the torso/head as well as how long it remains down. The most interesting aspect of the target is that when used in conjunction with one another, if one is successfully engaged, the others can be configured to scatter.
Hey SOT-A Guys
Monday, September 8th, 2014
(Yep, budgets were so tight when I was in 3rd Group that we could only afford 3-digit team numbers.)
Did you ever get that pipeline? I’m not going to write anything. As a former SOT-A guy, I’m just curious. Don’t answer here, send me an email.
Are You A Troll? Check And See With This Handy Guide
Monday, September 8th, 2014SSD doesn’t get trolled a whole lot these days. You guys are a pretty good mob. But, I remain fascinated by this phenomenon. I ran across this infographic the other day on Sage Dynamics’ site and thought it was worth a share.
Congrats Jim and Susie!
