Obstacles can be physical, situational, or imagined. They will get in your way. Do not let them. Blast through them by knowing who you are. Tomorrow, I'll post a blurb about obstacles and personal ethics. The photo was taken in the early 1980s

If you have thoroughly assessed the risks associated with your mission, then there is little place for fear to thrive. (More info in a blurb tomorrow.)

This photo was taken in 1997 in Poland while I was spelunking. Take a look at my blurb today if you have time. It's about diminishing fear by assessing your risks. And please continue to think about our troops. Happy Wednesday, everyone.

I’m still seeing the photo of my friend Bill Kronin as a member of General Schwarzkopf’s Security Detail being attributed to me. Here’s a link to Bud Gibson’s Recon podcast that clears this up. Thanks Bud Bud Gibson youtu.be/crc11owBCUM?si…

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Happy to see that the COL used SERE techniques until he could be rescued yesterday. Proud of everyone involved. Today, I want to remember COL Nick Rowe. He taught SERE to us Delta plank owners. SERE stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape. COL Rowe survived five

I'm sharing photos that might not "make the cut" for the photo section of "Blasting Through." This is of B Squadron teammates preparing for military freefall training. In the civilian world, it’s called skydiving. We went to Las Vegas for air awareness training in a wind tunnel,
