When you are a non-swimming athlete and your time in the pool is basically limited to backyard games such as Marco Polo and Sharks and Minnows, you may need a swimming routine to get you better prepared for a fitness test.This system requires swimming five days a week, but each week includes the following staple workouts:TechniquePracticing the stroke technique you will use on military fitness tests is the first step. For strokes such as the sidestroke, breaststroke and the modified sidestroke — referred to collectively as the combat swimmer stroke (CSS) — you should receive technique training. This can occur…
The modern uber-luxe G63 AMG, a ubiquitous sight in West L.A. and Calabasas, traces a direct lineage back to historic military vehicles built by Magna Steyr in Austria. Those older G-Wagens featured solid front and rear axles, zero creature comforts, and the ride quality of a delivery truck. Not anymore, though. Mercedes started selling the G in the United States and eventually switched out one of the solid axles for independent front suspension, while doubling down on all the luxury trappings imaginable. The top-spec G63 AMG now has supple leathers, extensive tech features, and unbelievable power from a mild-hybrid twin-turbo…
Chicago pretty much dictates politics for the rest of the state. That means Illinois’s anti-gun bent isn’t because of most of the rest of the state, but because people in the Windy City want gun restrictions. And, of course, they don’t work.But as you already know from the headline, this is a bit of a weird story. It’s not a shocking one, though, because nothing about this is truly surprising, overall. That’s probably the only surprising thing about it.The father of a rapper whose album release party was the setting of a River North mass…
At GearJunkie, we’re all about putting the products we showcase to the test — and having fun while we do it.

As we reported earlier today, a group of Democratic attorneys general who were seeking an injunction halting the ATF’s return of some forced reset triggers to their rightful owners had a very bad day in court this week, with the U.S. District Court judge overseeing the case essentially telling the anti-gunners they didn’t have a case. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his colleagues must have seen the writing on the wall, based on the motion they submitted after Wednesday’s hearing. HILARIOUS: Two days after a hearing that went extremely poorly for them, the anti-gun states…
This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute. Even while the search for missing people in flood-ravaged Texas continues, the politicized invective has come from the Left. Perhaps the most shocking comments came from Dr. Christina B. Propst—a Houston-based pediatrician who mocked the victims and their families because she perceived some of them might have voted for Donald Trump. Propst—who was fired by her employer—posted on Facebook: May all visitors, children, non-MAGA voters and pets be safe and dry. Kerr County MAGA voted to gut FEMA. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for. Bless…
I’m not overly happy about how things came out in the One Big Beautiful Bill, but we still made some headway. The removal of the $200 tax stamp was a key moment, and now that it’s signed, it’s the law. The tax stamp is no more. And, to be fair, that tax stamp has stopped a lot of people from buying things like short-barreled rifles and suppressors. It’s just one more step that has to be undergone well before you drop the money on the product you’re getting registered.But regardless of how many it discouraged,…

One of the commercial benefits of military solicitations is the direction it drives manufacturers. In an effort to win these contracts, companies will invest the time and money to develop and test the creation of new products. Sometimes the product is too specialized to benefit the rest of us, but other times it’s becomes something that we didn’t even know we wanted.Nightforce ATACR Dark Earth 7-35x56mm F1. MSRP $3,700 (Photo by Mark Fingar)One example of a military solicitation benefitting the commercial market was the ability to quickly change a rifle’s chambering between .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua…

Posted in MIL/LE, Night Vision, Photo Of The Day, Thermal with No CommentsTags: Bae Systems, Colt M4, ENVG, ENVG III (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Beggs) A new kind of face appears on the battlefield, as soldiers use the ENVG III night vision device. It’s interesting to see it mounted outside a gas mask, but train as you fight I guess. This Photo Of The Day was taken at the Goldmine Training Area in South Korea last month. The caption reads: Soldiers from 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment “Tomahawks”, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, conduct…
More than a half million veteran claims have been filed under the PACT Act, the landmark legislation passed last year that eased requirements for many veterans exposed to burn pits and other battlefield pollutants to apply for disability benefits, the Department of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday. The Department of Veterans Affairs has so far processed more than 203,000 of those 500,000 PACT Act claims, resulting in more than $1 billion in compensation, with additional funds expected to be allocated as it works through all of the applications. “We’re proud that 500,000-plus veterans and survivors have applied for their hard-earned benefits…
Think for a moment about where you go to vote. Is it a church or a school in a nice, safe part of town, or is it in a part of your community that’s a little sketchy? Truth be told, I’ve dealt with both in my life. Voting is important, though, so I take the risk. In some states, those with such concerns can carry a firearm to the polls. Still others may openly carry a firearm to make some kind of a point and do so at the polls for whatever reason. But in Michigan, some want to ban…
Brownells introduced their Match Precision Optics (MPO) line of scopes a few years ago, and that line has grown to include a few low-power variable optics (LPVO). They announced a new 1-6×24 model at SHOT 2022. It recently became available for purchase and is the subject of this review. Brownells @ TFB: As always, disclosures are an essential part of a review. I was lucky enough to shoot the MPO 1-6×24 at SHOT 2022 and it left a good initial impression on me. Brownells was kind enough to provide the scope to me for this review. This is my second review…
The Army is unlikely to change its new physical fitness test despite Congress recently passing a law pressing the service to establish gender-neutral standards, according to two sources with knowledge of the plans. The annual defense authorization bill passed in December directed the Army to set the same fitness standards for men and women by June. Last month, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the service had already established gender-neutral expectations for troops, but was vague about the specific standards to which she referred. The service won’t be making additional changes to the Army Combat Fitness…
DADEVILLE, Ala. — At least 89 rounds were fired in the shootout that killed four people at a girl’s Sweet 16 party in Alabama, a witness testified Tuesday.Responding officers also found that a gun appeared to have been placed on the chest of one of the victims after death, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Special Agent Jess Thornton said.Five of the six suspects in the April 15 shooting in Dadeville made their first court appearances Tuesday.

Consider this a follow up to today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, where we discussed armed school staff with FASTER Colorado’s Laura Carno. According to the school safety advocate, interest in the program is soaring in Colorado in the wake of the Covenant School shootings in Nashville, but clearly the strategy is growing in popularity in other states as well. Texas already allows for school districts to put armed staff members in place through either the School Marshal or Guardian programs, but a bill that sailed through the state House this week would make an armed response mandatory on every…

This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. Now that human beings are learning to reject mRNA vaccine experiments and associated biological warfare, there is a new global agenda that seeks to inject animals with mRNA bioweapons and taint the food supply with genetic weaponry. Animals cannot give consent, so they are the perfect vessels to experiment on. Animals are also the perfect vessels to reach humans who no longer consent to this experimental genetic weaponry en masse. Vaccines have been transfecting humans with animal viruses for decades The history of vaccination has proven animal cells to…
The states of the Northeast often are less likely to support the Second Amendment than many other parts of the nation. As such, we shouldn’t be surprised that Delaware is considering further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms for the residents of the state. But man, this one is really bad. The bill under consideration in the General Assembly would mandate all licensed firearm dealers and unlicensed sellers to require prospective buyers to first present a valid permit. To obtain a permit, people would need to get fingerprinted by the state and take an approved course in…
