Fantastic Message

Just what I needed to hear! Thank you!

Former sieger ,

Heck of a guy on and off the show!

Great show!

#SoldierForLife ,

Combatives

Great podcast with Matt Larsen. There’s no doubt that organizations that incorporated MACP into their units were better units. More disciplined, fit, and more lethal. I went to level 2 with my unit as a 1SG to make sure everyone got the message. We adopt the warrior concept and lived by it. As a CSM, I was blessed to have BN CDR that understood and supported the program and we incorporated it into all our squad competitions. Humble to are some of my former soldiers are still committed to the program.
