Industry Day at the range offers media a chance to shoot the latest and greatest guns before anyone else gets a chance. While that is great for the media, ...

When I heard this I was impressed — and moved.   For a lot of us, joining the SEALs was something like joining the French Foreign Legion: the expression of a thirst for adventure. As Dave Scott said, “I get to shoot guns and jump out of planes … and get paid for it?” For me, it was more the allure of being part of such an elite group. My teen years hadn’t been easy, and I needed to prove to myself that I could do something of real worth. My decision to become a SEAL had not been dri...

Share This: This is Part I of a three-part series on Navy SEAL sniper Matt Axelson. You can read Part II here and Part III here.  “Listen up, gents. The next 90 days are going to be some of the toughest you’ve ever experienced.

Share This: I’ve written almost a thousand articles for SOFREP, not counting my days of writing for the Military dotcom Deathstar. This was before the Force awakened and SOFREP was born. Sorry, couldn’t resist, I’m a Star Wars nerd. Many lessons have been learned and egos bruised over the years and more than a few times I’ve found myself wanting to hit the “unpublish” button.
