Resilience
RESILIENCE. And you grind and you grind. You sleep in the same shirt, and in the morning you put on the same pants. You don’t shower and you don’t shave, not because you don’t want to, it’s because you can’t afford a razor or a water bill. You eat meager food cooked in the crappy microwave and count your coins in order to pay for the next meal of ramen or rice. Toilet paper is a luxury. Your…

Memory and Emotion
“Men experienced in war cannot easily describe the loss of life any better than they can describe the loss of their youth but they certainly can tell you what real fear felt like and when they first became a man.” Michael Kurcina

Rolling Thunder
WWJD: Rolling Thunder hit audiences like a freight train. Many viewers used to tamer stuff like Star Wars were unprepared for maturer stuff like RT, or Deliverance. Movies with interesting, real world plot lines about redemption or revenge were coming out quickly pre and post fall of Saigon. RT struck a chord with many viewers not just for its protagonist with samurai ethics, military skills and…

What ‘Being A Father’ Means To Us from Arminius Tribe
What ‘Being A Father’ Means To Us from Arminius Tribe
This year Robbert, Robin and me took our kids for the second year on a 3 day hike in the mountains of Andorra.
Nothing Useful Is Taught The Army
Or, ‘I will not be able to use any of these skills later in life, when I have a civilian job..’ well, really? How about:
map-reading
navigating through hard terrain
being mentally tough
building a shelter
taking care of yourself and your buddies in…

Do not Lose your Long Vision
Do not Lose your Long Vision
To say that men don’t need reassurance would be a lie. However men must seek it out from the right sources and be courageous when things are uncertain. Today I was listening to old Gene Clark songs. He’s become popular again for a new generation. There was also a resurgence when hipsters flocked to Nick Drake after hearing one of his songs used in a car commercial. The savvy have always known.…

Believe in Yourself Have self respect. Believe in what you build. Don't violate that and you'll have power. Break it and you'll find yourself a slave to every opinion.
House on a Hill
House on a Hill
“A drunken cry quite often speaks our greatest truth and it is what our conscience knows of horror. There is a house of death that waits upon a hill, and one day we must enter it. What removes the dread is to live richly enough to exhaust our heart of anxiety, and in doing so fills our spirit with peace regardless of our piety.” Michael Kurcina

Regret
I’ve had a hole in my heart for a very long time I see things as they once were I see things as they could have become I see things as they will never become Fruit dies on the vine
Poem by Michael Kurcina
What becomes of us after we realize the thing we are pursuing now feels like it holds less value than the thing we left behind? We left a lover, a family, a career, some kind of opportunity back…

Lowa Boots Performance Footwear for any Occasion
Lowa Boots
Lowa Boots. Maybe not the most recognized name in the boot industry, and if not, they’re the best kept secret. I say this as a wearer of them for about 8 years now. I first heard about these boots, and this brand, from one of the fellas on our regional swat team. Apparently a lot of spec ops folks were wearing them over in the Middle East, and gave rave reviews. As a guy who will…

IWI Academy Tavor I: The Bullpup School
IWI Academy Tavor I: The Bullpup School
In 2013 the bullpup and carbine markets of the United States received a shake up when Israeli Weapon Industries (IWI) opened on our shores and set up in Middleton, Pennsylvania.
With their arrival they brought a rifle that many had been curious about and pining after for over a decade. The Tavor SAR.
These modernized bullpups, built for the mechanized and urban nature of IDF combat, were an…

Can You Flip Your ‘Fight’ Switch from Arminius Tribe
A Street Fight
Have you been in a real street fight? I mean, real fighting, no rules? Well, if you have, then you know, that it was like nothing you ever trained for. All those fancy moves you saw on TV, watched online and trained with your sparring partner in the dojo, probably did not work, or at least not the way you thought they would.
Surprise
In my younger years(yes I am old) I got in to a…

Sometimes I Just Want to Fight
Sometimes I Just Want to Fight
TBT When I had a chip on my shoulder the size of Manhattan.
Sometimes I don’t want to talk, I just want to fight. How many of us feel like that? You might feel like the baddest guy on the block but there’s a guy out there who feels no differently than you and he’s better conditioned, better prepared and it’s likely given the right circumstances he’s going to wipe the floor clean with you. I’m…

A Voice Spoke to Me in the Darkness
A Voice Spoke to Me in the Darkness
A voice spoke to me in the darkness and whispered, “you will die. You will die.” I answered back, “that I know. Please show me how to live.” But the answer never came.” Are you open to learning? How about living? Humility is being able to lower yourself to a place where you feel no different than the person next to you despite having incongruity in their natures. Humility lets you find your…

A Walk in the Park
A Walk in the Park
The other day I was walking through a park. It was just after sunrise, and the pooch needed water as we finished a few hills. I approached an area with a sole picnic table, which overlooked a small lake and a flowering hill. A guy seated atop of the table seemed to be part enjoying the morning, and part toying with his phone. As is typically cordial, I said “hi” and asked him how he was. As…

Buried Alive
“Men privately plan their escape from the smothering tomb of their life until each year they become more weakened and less brave, and it becomes the sarcophagus that enshrines them. What history will tell us is a good man’s spirit broke under the enslavement of a despot’s mind yet freedom was always there for the taking. All a man had to do was walk away.”~Michael Kurcina LIVE TODAY DAMN YOU!
