After thousands of articles written and edited and hundreds of podcasts hosted, I have terminated my relationship with Hurricane Group Inc. to include all of its associated properties such as NEWSREP. Thank you for your support over the years, both readers and fellow writers. I am moving on to other endeavors, book projects, and a new livestream that can be found at:
The Battle of Long Tan is iconic in the Australian and New Zealand experience in the Vietnam War. A labor of love, this project has been a development for over 10 years.
In August 1966, in a Vietnamese rubber plantation called Long Tan, 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives against 2500 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers.
In cinemas beginning August 8th in Australia. Hopefully, we’ll see it here in the US.
Finally, the inaugural issue of the online magazine “Gear Up” is available.
It’s been a long go, but they just released the first issue. I am not involved, but you should check it out, all the same.
Check it out here.
Its an interesting site, with lots of stuff SSD readers would be interested in.
Virginia – May 20, 2019, Civilian Carry Radio on the Firearms Radio Network, announced today that Tatiana Whitlock will join one of the fastest growing podcasts on firearms and the 2nd Amendment, effective May 29th, 2019. Civilian Carry Radio show broadcasts weekly on Wednesdays from 8pm to 9:30pm EST.
Tatiana will join the team led by the show’s founders Baraka Ulrich James and Allen Sams. The shows conversational and engaging approach of bridging the span between the everyday gun owner and firearms industry subject matter experts has led to its success and loyal viewership nationwide.
“I am honored to be invited to join Civilian Carry Radio as their new co-host! As a long time fan, and guest on the show believe in its mission that focuses on the importance of the 2nd amendment, firearms safety, education, training and mindset. Contributing to each episode is contributing to a legacy of knowledge and information from each guest we have join us!” Says Whitlock.
The show’s programming and content is also available across various platforms including F irearms Radio Network, iTunes, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Google Play Music, Stitcher, TuneIN, PodBean, On Speaker, Player FM, YouTube and more.
“After meeting Tatiana at SHOT Show in 2013, I watched her grow and progress in the gun and firearms community. I was so impressed with her work ethic and continuously hearing the positive feedback of people who trained with her. After having Tatiana appear as a guest on our show twice, I was overwhelmed by her knowledge, her teaching skills, her delivery and her way of disseminating complex information in a way that is easily digestible to the masses. With Allen and I being civilians (who did not serve in the military, not prior law enforcement) and with Tatiana having a similar background as us, but also putting in the same kind of time, effort, diligence and discipline to go out and learn on her own volition, I had to have her on our team! She is the perfect complement to round up and complete our show. We are honored that she accepted our invitation and look forward to the future with her now on board!”
Says show owner, producer and host Baraka James.
