  • Quote attributed to X. Even the ancients knew. Xenophon of Athens was an ancient Greek philosopher, historian, soldier and mercenary, and a student of Socrates. You ever read the Anabasis in which the cult movie The Warriors was based?

  • Our business card. Have self respect. Believe in what you build. Don't violate that and you'll have power. Break it and you'll find yourself a slave to every opinion. Work with those that want to work with you. Often times people mistake your earnestness for foolishness or weakness rather than shrewdness. Don't meander off the path of your purpose or you'll end up chasing other people's schemes and regretting it later on. Be humble, be durable, be teachable, build real relationships and the rest will follow. - [ ] #apparel #findawayormakeaway #fitness #running #hiking #tactics #tactical #tacticalresponse #merica #pew #violentwhennecessary #gunsdaily #weaponsdaily #igmilitia #igdaily #spotterup #2a #gunslifestyle #edc #sunsoutgunsout #style #leo #gear #police #SOF #military
  • A Spotter is known as the consummate Chessman. He identifies issues, gathers information on the threats, devises a plan, and executes it successfully. In heraldry, the skull represents victory of life over death, and our spotter tower is a fortress that is a testament to his ability. Sometimes success is achieved by looking inside rather than beyond, and it is gained by listening to what you ‘know’. He is the sentinel that watches over others, himself, and learns in order that he can point the way out of danger. AUT INVENIUM VIAM AUT FACIUM-I will either find a way or I will make one. Legend has it that the military commander Hannibal said this to his generals after they told him it was impossible to cross the Alps on elephants. #apparel #thetacgent #spotterup #findawayormakeaway #athlete #fitness #running #box #beastmode #climbing #tactics #tactical #tacticalresponse #merica #alwaystraining #violentwhennecessary #gunsdaily #weaponsdaily #igmilitia #gunchannels #igdaily #spotterup #2a #gunslifestyle #edc #carryeveryday #sunsoutgunsout #traintowin
