Why do you do it?

I want to provide civilians an opportunity to learn attributes and lifesaving skills typically only afforded to specialized military personnel. I made an effort to convert my capabilities used within the US National Strategy, to comprehensive and digestible learning material that allows scalability from the single mom to the SWAT Commander.
