"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body" ~ Richard Steele
We're all avid readers at Strike - CMC, and believe that learning is a never-ending process. Law enforcement and military personnel do themselves an injustice if they do not keep up on the latest thoughts and ideas regarding tactics, training and leadership. It is also imperative that we stay current on the turbulent, ever-changing world we live in. Remember, the world is smaller now. We are effected equally by events that happen here as well as on the other side of our globe, whether those events happened today, last year or a thousand years ago.
