I spoke with a man this week who is in the Cyber Security and the IT field. A few days ago, he took a walk on the other side of security.
Hearing his dogs move around in the dark of the night, he realized he needed to get up and let them out. But he was so sleepy he laid still, hoping his wife would hear them and get up first. He found out later she had heard them too and was doing the same ...
This week's TAI is submitted by Shanna Kohr, our oldest daughter. She expressed honor for the best man I've ever known (my own Dad -- Jack Chinn) on this Father's Day.
The FBSN has a very simple tagline, Ready-Willing-Able, summarizing our threefold mission.
My Grandpa served in WWII. His ship, the USS Princeton, was bombed and sunk in the battle of Leyte Gulf on October ...
I recently met a lady who told me of being protected by spontaneous executive protection (EP) actions. Her perspective, as the one protected, was interesting.
She is a well-known media celebrity in her city. She was covering an event at the mega church where an FBSN member serves as the Security Director.

Not only had they exper...
Faithful defenders do all they can to be better prepared for the evil so prevalent and increasing across our nation. Training and intensive conferences are among the top things available for this purpose.
Years ago, I envisioned an annual summit of vetted safety / security operators coming together from across the U.S. to establish meaningful relationships with each other, learn from experie...
Recently we considered the absence of innocents being hurt by defenders during a defensive action. We analyzed 11 times however, that lives were taken or endangered due to recklessness of faith-based defenders.
I stated all who made mistakes endangering others should face some consequences.
I also do not believe every instance of mistakes should mean that person being forever disqualified...
