Why I'm Fat by Vickers Tactical

[Ned Christiansen]

Every time I see something with Larry I think how lucky we are, as consumers of all things and info gun / tactics related, to have such a guy.

There are soooooo many gunwriters and interwebs goofball pundits whose been-there-done-that rating goes way into the negative zone. Hmm, maybe they think they've found a way to improve that..... it ain't working lads!

I have a young friend who has recently made it through today's version of the training Larry had, or at least, the first parts. I don't know how anyone comes out of that training and testing with enough of themselves left to do the job once they make the grade.

Few people with Larry's background have personalities that are low key. For me, his self confidence and in-charge personality just add to the credibility!

I gave this country, the best part of my life. The U.S. Military and this Country got 20 years of my best.
- LAV

This says it all. I'm embarrassed that knuckleheads would even go where they have gone. I saw this video the other day, but I didn't have the words to go along with re-posting it. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your service, LAV. Thanks for sharing your knowledge through TacTV and your classes. Good luck with your training, and most importantly, thank you for giving us the best part of your life.

Larry knows how to drop 185 pounds... Fast and hard and repeatedly.

I would have expected it to go more like this

- Cause I'm the bad-ass they write stories about...and fvck you!

About ego... the fighter pilot, bull fighter, and surgeon--just to name a few examples--often walk with confidence because they have repeatedly proved themselves. If they aren't top notch, the first two are likely dead, and the third is working for a health department.

Rude comments are made by rude people. Having spent a lifetime in teaching, I promise you that rudeness is part of our culture. People get away with shit today that would have incurred an ass whipping in years past.

to say I have been in a helicopter crash is freaking insane to say you have been in 3 I cant put it into words

Helicopters - especially military helicopters - crash all the time.

Spend enough hours in a helicopter and you will be in a crash. And SOF guys spend a lot of time in helicopters, needless to say.

I always thought he had a bit of an elevated ego. That's the impression I got from YouTube and stuff. No ,I never met the guy. It's just how he appears to me. Does he know his stuff? without a doubt. Not arguing that. This brought him down to earth some. It was nice to see.

Really? I never really got that from him.

He always struck me as being like any other competent, knowledgeable, quiet professional.

...By moving five pounds an eighth of an inch each time.

I see what you did there. Well played.

Funny how years of training a combative mindset determined to win can be perceived by others. There is a reason your typical Marine is encouraged to think they are hot shit.

and how many live through 3 ? I might guess not tons of folks have that luck
still pretty good at beating the odds as even he said many are not where he is
and to do again what he has done he needs no explanation of his current self

still pretty insane IMHO

thinking about this I bet quite a few folks who pretend to be like him post videos why they think they are such a bad a$$ !
pretty darn nice humble seeming guy and never got the idea he was full of himself only confident in himself
