Right now, there is a pissing match on the 3% Blogsphere among a few different members of the scene as to whose dick is the smallest. Having met some of the bigger players involved, and having respect for what they all bring to the table, I’m of the opinion that they all should go find something better to do with their time. Because if you have enough time on your hands to bitch about the other guy, then you have too much time on your hands and need to straighten your priorities out.
There is a lot of talk about “professional trainers”. I have seen “professionals” with a stack of credentials who could not teach worth a damn, and I’ve seen very talented amateurs who had the teaching gift and could explain complicated things in a simple manner anyone could understand. I would much rather have the latter than the former. What makes a good instructor?

When I was training to be a locomotive engineer, there were great engineers who couldn't teach for crap because they couldn't explain their points.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I'm not sure people think about, you could have a guy who can run and gun like nobody's business. He might have all the tricks down pat. How will he do reloading when he sees his wife go down? Or his best friend? There's alot more to what we're doing than awesome moves or some such thing. If things get ugly here there will be a wave of selfish and mean that many of us could never imagine.
While learning weapons, first aid, survival skills and such is important, mental fortitude must be thought about as well.
Fighting like school kids just turns people away, if these guys can't get along, how are the rest of us going to? We might be all we have when the dust settles.
Trainers need to keep that in mind. Many people like me grew up messing with girls and cars and working 50 hours a week. When we pull our heads out of the sand, there's a stretch of time where the thought of what may come scares the shit out of you. Instructors, get along, if someone is better than you in a certain area, be a man and give credit. There's always someone better and faster. Teach with humility and compassion, we aren't marines, we are your neighbors, friends, family and we may very well be the future. I think I got all my thoughts out the right way.
Excellent. Thanks. http://freenorthcarolina.blogspot.com/2015/08/comments-on-stop-pissing-on-other-guy.html
DeleteMean while back at the enemy camp; they are getting a good laugh. Do these so called leaders/experts/trainers in the "3%" movement understand that the tactic of divide and conquer also applies to them as well? It does not matter if the enemy does it or it is self-inflicted wound, the end results are the same. A true professional would not care about who or how the job was done so long as the job got done per intent. They ought to remember the adage of: If it is stupid but it works, then it ain't stupid.

Amen, spot on and as Pastor Manning would say boomshakalaka!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is the fact that so many seem to think the entire "community" is made up of bloggers and their readers. That is what makes these "eruptions" entertainment.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much more to the III%, that most will never know about. Most folks I know who identify themselves as III% (after being told what it is), have never even heard of the bloggers who seem to think they are the end-all and be-all of all things patriotic.
It's not all about bloggers.
Yup. Thanks.
