## Resource

Ken Decker is a former 3/75 Ranger, and the current head of Long Range Training for Core Vision Training. As a subject expert, Kenny was one of the guest instructors at a charity event I attended a couple years ago and I've been working to get him on for a conversation ever since. Sitting down together this week, we took the opportunity to of course talk about scoped carbines, but also about some of the more interesting experiences he had with military recruiters, what led Ken to joining the Army, as well as obviously the desire to train and attain at higher levels. As with many of our guests, the conversation took some kooky left turns, hitting on social media, cartoon network, and plenty more. This was a terrifically fun conversation, and I'm looking forward to having Ken back on again soon! Visit our sponsors!
