Chuck Mawhinny – USMC Sniper

by Richard

November 10th, 2011

Chuck Mawhinny is one of the most successful Marine Corps snipers in history. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Mawhinny served his country as a rifleman, and later as a Scout Sniper. As a Scout Sniper, Mawhinny achieved more confirmed kills than any other Marine sniper.

The National Rifle Association’s Life of Duty put together an excellent video about Mawhinny. The video includes interviews with Mawhinny and others who know him. Mawhinny is humble, explaining that he was just a Marine who did his job. I imagine that is how most of us see ourselves as well.

Announcing the Blue Crew

by Richard

November 2nd, 2011

Six months in the making, BlueSheepdog happily announces the launch of the Blue Crew: a companion membership site to BlueSheepdog.com.

The Blue Crew is a new concept in police training and officer safety on the web. Driven by member support, the Blue Crew site strives to provide excellent resources for its members and negotiates significant discounts with law enforcement trainers and gear providers.

The Blue Crew is a companion site to BlueSheepdog.com, offering additional benefits and unique content not available elsewhere.

Going forward, the BlueSheepdog.com website will remain as it always has: a free resource of police training, equipment reviews and law enforcement news. We will still publish regular articles, send out newsletter and produce podcasts. To really jump to the next level requires funding, and that is where the Blue Crew comes in.
