As monotonous as they may seem, many will provide fantastic learning opportunities for those eager to understand. To dive into the concepts behind structure clearance, or as you may know it, combat clearance, i'm joined by Ben Wallick. Ben is a former SEAL and Contractor, and is also the owner of Vanilla Gorilla Security, a training company based in Illinois. We absolutely dive into the subject at hand, talk about the flexibility required between both dynamic and deliberate methodologies, the importance of asking the question \"why do we do that?\" as well as, potentially more importantly, being able to articulate this, and demonstrate a depth of understanding. With all the back and forth online about CQC, CQB, team clearance, whatever you call it, I think this will make for a fantastic listening experience! Visit our sponsors!
