Really? Most of this is word for word out of a Marine Corps Anti-terrorist manual for overseas duty?
Really, I'm not trolling you. But, your primary audience here is made up mostly of civilians. (Not Marines or Military)
The military & leo we have here are probably trained well enough that you're preaching to the choir. Is it your desire to help civilians, teach experienced civilians, military or leos; or are you trying to promote yourself for personal satisfaction or financial gain?
Maybe, you're just trying to pass along information?
I've got to agree that your stuff is very valid. But, you definitely come across to me and a few others in a somewhat arrogant & less than professional way. (You may be a professional & the best instructor in the country. But, you are NOT projecting that in your posts.)
Trust me, I don't mean to troll. But, I've done quite a bit professional business consulting over the last 30yrs and if you were my client I'd advise you to work or your public relation skills & online etiquette. If you're looking to influence & help people or promote your skill set, you want people to enjoy your writing & advice. (Correct?)
No offense, but if you really want to help, it appears you are turning more people off than you are attracting. You've provided some excellent info. But, your posts do have a twinge of arrogant blowhard, know-it-all in them; which causes you to come across more as an amateur or wannabe than the true professional you are.
I hope you are taking my post in the spirit it is intended. I'm sure you are every bit as good & credentialed as you claim. I'm just trying to offer you some "professional" advice that may help you.
Peace- :victory:

Nothing arrogant at all with your advice! (It's really good.)
I guess "clinical" may be a better word. Most people don't respond well to someone just spewing out advice; even though that advice is wise and completely sound. I think that's really what I'm talking about.
Communication on the internet has do be done a little different than what takes place teaching a clinic or reading from a text book. I think for communication in forums like this to be the most helpful & effective, we need to use a little more tact & diplomacy when presenting it.
I hope that makes sense to you. Again, not trolling- just maybe trying to determine why you're getting a big push back by some members. :smile:

I find the objections to the original post extremely humorous. Some people just feel like they have to gripe about anything they read. To dispel your theory, I am neither military nor LEO so I think I can speak for the "average Jane". None of the information given offensive or "ordering" someone around. It was designed for anything except to make people THINK.
I like usacarry a lot, but the "I know more than you" or the consistent bashing is getting old real quick. I opened this conversation out of curiosity but found frustration. Such a let down

It's hard to believe the moderators haven't deleted all your posts, Cypher.
