R. Lee Ermy is a pogue who has never seen combat.

In before someone posts Chris Costa.
I took one of his classes. He told me quietly during a lunch break that he doesn't know how to swim.
How the fuck can you anons be impressed with a guy who can't even swim?

>>31716750
lol

He wouldn't have gotten in the CG if he didn't know.

My best DI was a pog. Their job is to make Marines, there's close to zero warfare training in boot camp.

Gunny is a badass I got to meet him in real life at a Toys for Tots charity.

>>31716764
That's not true. He's not the only costie who can't swim. 99.9% of them can. He said he just faked it and tried to be elsewhere else when they needed to do big swims.

>>31716808
ya im sure

>>31716084
I wish he was drastically more forthcoming with source materials for his claims. They are almost exclusively court cases from at least two decades ago or more where you would have to pay to receive a copy of the records and verify anything he claims. That said his advice still seems a great deal more sound and grounded than the vast majority of self defense types.

>>31717125
I mean, he has been around for like 40 years, if he was a bullshit peddler someone would have found out by now.

>>31717150
I know you aren't saying I am, but I'm hardly accusing him of some malfeasance. I just wish he was more transparent and less dad logic, he posits most of his conclusions upon the fact that he's been around so long and seen X but you'll have to take his word for it or pay to see the evidence (despite the fact that you're paying to see him or read him already).

>>31716084
He is willing to change his opinion about things(ammo effectiveness,etc) as technology progresses and he isn't in some big hurry to go to a fight.
Most of his conclusions seem reasonable.

I just finished reading that Glock book that came out a while ago, and he advocated for the NYPD edition trigger being the standard on Glocks lmao

If I had to take one class, it would be with Ron Avery, he seems like an excellent teacher. On the other hand, Jeff Cooper seems to be fuddlore personified.

>Travis is like the modern day tactical Bruce Lee

I'm glad that someone else picked this up. Reading on Jeet Kune Do, there's so many similarities to Bruce Lee's approach to martial arts and Haley's approach to shooting.

He even quotes Bruce Lee in one of his videos.

>>31717411
Fudd? He pretty much invented modern combat handgunning. KYS

>>31716750
This is not the first time I've heard about this. I'm starting to think it might be true. It would be good to hear from him if he actually can or not.

There's no faking that shit in bootcamp. You either prove that you can swim, or you fucking drown.

Also he was apart of their special boarding crews if I remember correctly. He may not have seen action, but I have met a few of those guys and they for sure know how to swim since they have to be certified to be on a boat and board other boats. And certification takes a fuck ton of time, and boarding other boats has the risk of you know FALLING OFF.

Roland Warzecha is pretty knowledgeable on shields and how they were used historically. It's pretty interesting to see old theories like this. Less has changed than you think.

He's curator of Arms and Armor at the Wallace Collection in London, one of the largest collections of arms and armor in Europe if I'm remembering correctly. He made a suit of armor to defend his thesis and jousts regularly, really interesting guy in his passion for this stuff.
