Green Beret Instructor's Guide to Everyday Carry

Train smarter. Teach better. Carry prepared.

Green Beret Instructor’s Guide to Everyday Carry -“How Instructors Can Build Safer, Smarter, More Capable Carriers” is a professional reference for firearms instructors and serious practitioners who want to take their teaching and training to the next level. This is not an entry-level manual. It is a book for professionals who already understand the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship and firearms safety-and want to sharpen their ability to train others with authority and purpose.

Written by a retired U.S. Army Green Beret with over two decades of Special Forces experience and 16 years as a firearms instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), this book combines battlefield lessons with classroom-tested methodology. Every drill, technique, and framework has been proven under pressure, then refined for civilian instruction.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Run proven drills and progressions that improve accuracy, consistency, and decision-making.

Structure lessons and courses that are clear, repeatable, and effective.

Apply combat-tempered insights that make range training more realistic and relevant.

Adapt instruction to every skill level, challenging advanced shooters while keeping beginners engaged and successful.

Bridge the gap between theory and practice, ensuring students are prepared for real-world encounters.

This book is designed to:

Equip civilian firearms instructors with practical tools to expand their curriculum.

Strengthen private training companies and academies with field-tested content.

Help mentors and coaches refine their ability to develop safer, smarter, and more capable carriers.

Instruction must be anchored in reality. As a lifelong advocate of Everyday Carry (EDC), I believe that training should prepare students for the conditions they may actually face-not just paper targets in controlled environments.

Whether you teach on the range, in the classroom, or one-on-one, Green Beret Instructor’s Guide to Everyday Carry gives you the strategies, drills, and teaching methods to raise your effectiveness as an instructor and your credibility as a professional.

This is not about trends or theories. It is about battle-tested methods, law-enforcement-proven instruction, and a commitment to building responsible armed citizens.
