54: Lessons from the Ruby Ridge standoff (Randy Weaver and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team) Dec 01, 2019

Show notes

One of the most emotional and fascinating stand-offs in American history is the one between the Weaver family and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. This all started when a group of US Marshals were attempting to arrest Randy Weaver for a weapons offense. After an initial exchange of gunfire that left people on both sides dead, the FBI HRT responded to resolve the issue in what became one of the most polarizing cases that touched everything from gun control, the use of deadly force by law enforcement, and federal oversight and over-reach. This case should be mandatory reading, and we hope this episode is a good primer.

52: MJ THE MARINE, ROUND 2. Do Marines want Rule Followers or Rule Breakers? AIR FORCE VS USMC CULTURE Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

This is the second time MJ has joined Mike and Jim on the show. Today we discussed some of the differences between Air Force and Marine Corps culture. Obviously very different - but MJ and Jim are both pilots so there are some similarities in that regard. There are reasons for both and they each have their advantages and disadvantages. We also discuss how this applies to other areas, and of course relate it all back to the philosophy of John Boyd.

51: If you're not Outstanding, you're Outprocessing. Learning and Teaching in Elite Teams Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Back in the day when we went to junior high or high school there was plenty of structure to learning but we were also easily distracted. It's a little different when you fast forward into a profession or hobby built around saving your own life, so Mike and Jim discuss some thoughts for students and instructors on how to learn or teach well, whether it's related to physical skills or the softer more academic stuff. Kind of administrative but relevant to learning how to fight, shoot, and perform.
