Great thread and info. Sometimes some neglect this info and do not realize how important it really is. I am glad and proud to see that he is still in the game and not giving up like some sheep. I respect him.

First thread I read on this forum (not counting pictures and some off topic stuff) and it has really encouraged me to get some good training and be the best I can be with my guns. Thanks.

A true Marine! As much as I love shooting, I was not brave enough to enter the armed forces. This Marine should be a true inspiration to all armed service personel, and more importantly all Americans! A great story, and VERY well written. I agree with others here by saying I would read the long story.
This Marine is mentioned by Travis Haley in the Magpul Art of the Tactical Carbine. This Marine is a true American Hero! |

I'm looking forward to reading this book, even if it's not very long

Damn!
Glad I read this. I came upon this LITERALLY immediately after I inquired at my local range about Advanced Personal Protection with a Gun classes. I have some VERY capable guns at home, both for CCW and others, and now I really want to learn how to use them properly, like this post illustrates, which could potentially save my or someone's life. |

As a fellow LEO I read this post and remember your story everytime I tend to "relax" when it comes to training.... No words through a text/post can even come close to admiration and praise you deserve but THANK YOU for your service and courage and thanks to every member of the armed services for protecting this great country.

Just read the entire thing. Really brings everything into perspective. Gives reason to train. Not to mention a moving and powerful story. My thanks go out to the original writer and OP for quoting him.

Dunno if this has been mentioned already but he actually has a youtube channel I subscribed to before reading this post. Some great training videos, gear reviews, and advice. Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/user/retreathell?feature=results_main I always enjoy someone in his special circumstances overcoming his problems and going on to be a fine example to the rest of us. I used to help teach a father/son self-defense program at my old church years ago, and we had one student who had been in a wheelchair since I believe 7 years old (he was 13 at the time of the class I was helping with). He never once complained, and he trained hard, and with a better attitude then some of the other teenagers, and children I was teaching. People like RetreatHell, and that student are fine examples of the attitude of Never Give Up! |
