My start is because of James. I am proud to say that. He changed my life.

[bjones]

I found SOE through Tactical Response. Around 11 years ago, I started religiously watching both of your channels. I never missed a video. I got hired In a gun store, and referenced the knowledge I found on both of your channels all the time at work. Then I joined the Marine Corps, and did the same thing. Now, I am a multi class alumnus, carry an SOE daypack with me every single day, wear an EDC belt every single day, and have shotgun cards on all my scatterguns. SOE and Tactical Response are literally part of my life every day.

I am one of the people James was so generous and helpful to and I am truly honored to have called him a friend, because I don't have that many and he was one of the best in my life.

I've said for a long time that James's greatest success wasn't in building a business, it was in creating a community. He was the most generous person I'd ever met in the industry and you are right, there are a lot of businesses that began because James pushed people to do their own thing.

[AmericanGunChic]

James definitely changed my life! Im grateful for everything he has done for me for sure! You too John! Thank you!

I grew up watching James’ original channel. It’s a tragedy the amount of knowledge that was lost when that channel was deleted. I pray that somebody has all those videos on a hard drive somewhere and will re-release them someday.

After fighting pistol, James let me take fighting rifle for free. Very kind of him and I’ll always appreciate it.

I found SOE through Tactical Response as well. It took me many years to finally get to Camden for a class but without you and James together the gun culture would not be as good as it is. We would be decades behind if not for Tac Response and SOE. And thank you for your low profile EDC belt. It has made my EDC so much more comfortable. Best gun belt I've worn to date. Looking forward to buying more gear as soon as possible. Ive already told a friend about the belt and he loves his too.

I watched James and SOE videos for several years. One day I made a commit and James asked where I lived and his words were, get your ass to a class we teach 20 miles from you twice a year. I live just out of Bastrop. That was 2015 and I was hooked. I mowed grass at the range just to be a part of something good. I lived and breathed this life style ever since. I need to go to Camden for the fight.

I found SOE because of Yeager. I have enjoyed both every since🫡 to both of you.

The thumbnail graphic of james in the studio chair made me cry. Very clever, RIP. "Your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never, ends."

[buckshotscott]

I found James on YouTube, came down for some classes. Found you through him, bought some gear and love the quality and utility. Then I learned about Dr. Berry and straightened out my diet. There has been a great deal of good that has come from the Camden area for those of us who have found you guys.

I do miss talking with James. I was emailing him a week prior to his passing. Thanks again for the content.

[topherd]

I loved James. The classes I took were probably not “THE BEST” classes out there that someone could take, but it sure was a helluva lot more fun than ANY classes I ever took before or since! I was treated like a real person each and every time I was on his property. I can also credit him for introducing me to you and your company man!

[DMAC]

Tac Response training and James revolutionized my life and how I viewed my career in law enforcement.. everything he told me absolutely came true.. his advice and guidance got me through some tough times..

[brianfrazier]

Thank you for these videos especially the lost tapes..

[marctaft]

Man this is a great topic here. I think you will gain alot interest from these kind of stories. I will always be a S.O.E customer but this i appreciated.

[dustincurtis]

Man I miss watchin that dude. I started carrying a pistol when my son was born and knew just enough to get myself killed. James was the first channel I found, and I learned an awful lot. Found SOE, Jack Spirko, and many others. Never met him or attended one of his classes, but I genuinely miss him.

[RonDevito]

Interesting history. Thank you for sharing.

[johnkruer]

John, thanks for the back story. I’m a 60+ with training money.😄
