Patrick McNamara spent 22 years in the United States Army in a myriad of special operations units. He retired from the Army's premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major. He's recognized as one of the leading experts in marksmanship, gun-handling, and tactical applications having trained people from all walks of life. Pat's the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting), The Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Security Protection Detail, and Combat Strength Training: The No-Nonsense Retrofit for Your Combat Chassis. On the business side, McNamara is the founder of Combat Strength Training, a fitness training methodology with deep roots in the US Army Special Operations community, and TMACS Inc. He's also the co-host of the University of Badassery Podcast. I first came across Pat when I heard him on the Joe Rogan Experience and I joined the ranks of the hundreds of thousands of followers Pat has on Instagram, where he shares a variety of his ludicrous and unconventional outdoor workouts, comical "Basic Dude Stuff" segments, and clips from the range.
