Hi everyone, my name is Cris McRae, and I'm the owner of Fortitude Tactical Group, LLC (aka FORTAC). I spent a few years in the U.S. Army as a grunt, and now provide firearms and tactics instruction for LEO, military combat arms and armed citizens. I'm here to talk shop, and pass on what I know, but more importantly, to pick up some fresh perspectives on subjects from the folks on here.
Thanks for having me, I look forward to some solid conversations. Feel free to hit me up anytime.

Hello, My name is Adrian Middleton. I'm a civilian based in the UK and I've always had an interest in the Police and Special Forces units, in particular. I hope to learn more about them while I'm active on here, and to share my interests with like-minded people such as yourselves.
I'm also planning on writing a number of stories focusing on elite police units, so anything I learn here I'm sure would come in handy for that.
All the Best, Adrian

Hi Cris, sounds like an interesting career you've had / are having. I'm a new member here also, but I have no knowledge to pass on myself (yet), but I do have a keen interest in the topics covered here.Cris wrote:Hi everyone, my name is Cris McRae, and I'm the owner of Fortitude Tactical Group, LLC (aka FORTAC).

Hey Quick. How is life as a Police officer in Brazil? Your introduction caught my eye as I'm considering writing a story based on the Brazilian Elite Police, but the BOPE unit. Having said that, COPE are of interest also

Greetings staCKs. I have no previous military background, just an interest in it. And I've only been a member on here myself for a few days, so I thought I'd say hello.staCKs wrote:U.S. Marine infantry rifleman (0311) for 5 years.

Hello,
I currently am 2nd Lieutenant in the Belgian Air Force Ground Defence Operation. We provide Security Response Capability to our deployed assets.
I've been in the Air Force for 16 years now, as a section commander first, then as a Flight Sergent before applying for officer training.
My job is to update and devellop Ground Defence TTP's, and to teach them to Airmen and Tactical Leaders.
Therefore, as an airbase is full of buildings and houses, CQB technics are a "must have".
My goal is to get the oppurtunity to chat with experienced people, exchange ideas, submet issues and improve my knowledge about CQB TTP's.
Cheers.
