Screw being grey. :)

Had some funny stuff happen at the mall today. I got a number of complements on my tactical kilt. My wife was decked out in 7" heels and latex and got lots of looks and comments, especially her heels and our daughter was wearing her fake elf ears. We seemed to be the center of attention everywhere lol. We caught the attention of all the goth girls too. One even said "Your family is awesome. I wish I was part of it!"

I always find it interesting watching people and seeing their reactions. Its a byproduct of giving everyone a once over and assessing them as a threat. I always catch peoples looks and see them make comments to whomever they are with. The best are when I see guys make comments and get a disapproving look and comment from the girl they are with. Its also funny when women make ugly faces.

Don't think that it takes away from ones status as a warrior either. There were a few guys who's eye I caught and they changed their body language knowing I wasn't someone to trifle with; the women showed arousal.

Maybe they thought you were going trick or treating bro...

[Dorkface]

Nah. Had too many similar reactions over the years. Only reason I posted this was because is the first time we had someone say they wished they were part of our family. lol.

[chad newton]

Lol....

The grey life is kinda a waste of time.... Only live once bro...

[Gabriel Suarez]

I am not grey. If I need to be grey it is because I am about to do something scandalous and probably illegal. I like driving a nice ride, wearing a nice watch and having a roll of benjamins in my pocket. And yeah...I like looking like I lift and making men uncomfortable and women interested. I like all of those things and have no desire to give them up. And yeah...any thugs that want my ride, my watch, my gangsta roll or my lady are going to get a broken leg, an eye gouged out or a group of bullets in their face. Fuck Grey...I am free.

[Dorkface]

Yeah grey is situational. :cool:

I think some men reach a certain age, and rather than grey they choose to be Silver.

Silver is valuable and precious, but not as soft as gold.

Silver can be subdued and dark, or bright and shiny depending on the polish.

Silver is the color of steel.

And also the color of the coin of the realm.

Fuck Grey.

Be Silver.

So awesome.

Alway be your favorite version of you.

Lead your family like the troll-slaying Clan Leader you are.

And woe to any who challenge you for it!

[Hasher]

Dorkface and his lovely bride are definitely not “grey” in any form of the word lol.

I would have loved to be around. To see those reactions. Lol

Very well said sir, great way of looking at things I never thought of in this manner.

Ben fatto, amico mio.

[Ragsbo]

I mentioned to the Ole Heifer about being the gray man and she laughed!!!! She said it wasn't working! Something about the look i give people

I've tried.

But I don't blend.

I just spent the week, teaching active shooter response to the school district teachers and admin. some had kittens when I advocated for filljng a suspects face with chemical smashing said suspect with a 10lb fire extinguisher until you cannot recognize they have a face. But some got it. most that have dealt with me see “ officer friendly” , seeing this side was a reality check for them.

next week is teaching solo to team response for the actual trigger pullers before the school year starts. I figure a few hours of tactics refresher followed by six hours of practical fof, stressing ambush when possible and ALWAYS ending in an anchoring shot will help instill it into rote response. The added benefit that the heads of all the local agencies want refreshers every three months for the time being (until they forget about uvalde). but hey, take the fucking win when you can and capitalize on it.

I cant remember if I said it, but we put out a letter to ALL our guntoters exactly what our expectations were for them ( go in, engage, and neutralize the bad guy). the county attorney had an issue with saying “kill” but the subtext was understood. more importantly tha they would have the agencies FULL support if they did so……. in writing…… in their hot little hands to take home with them and save in a secure place. the otherside being, if yiu cant do this, leave now.

Being the gray man must be done sometimes, but damn it feels good to be a gangster and teach what I know is the correct response with no apology given

This. In spades.

Loud and Proud Dorkface!

But how the hell does anyone get around in 7" heels? That's like crazy gymnast balance. Tactical kit sounds fun - any pics you can share?

Stay loud,

HAHA we were out getting school supplies a little while ago and a guy asked my wife that same question. Her answer "I just put one foot in front of the other." and laughed.

The kilt is easy. You can get your own here from 5.11 https://www.511tactical.com/commando-kilt.html?

We were at the phone store the other day and the sales guy asked me about reactions to it and before I could say anything my wife jumped in and said "Women love it. They comment on it all the time." I laughed and added that I always got positive comments from everyone and it put a lot of smiles on lady's faces."

[HermosaBeachPatriot]

Thanks for the link - I wasn't sure what a "tactical" kilt was and pretty cool for sure.

Grayman is an operational disguise...it is not who you are. If one lives in a contested area and must don the Clark Kent outfit to move around in normal society in those areas and in those missions, that is understandable, but it hurts the soul to need to pretend to be other than who you are for a lifetime. I prefer Gangster over Grayman...it is who I am. And I enjoy and like who I am. There are those who do not and I can live my life just fine without them.

It is important to discuss, read, internalize and memorialize these points here on WT. I recall Sam Spade posting a training event from his agency "Can You Afford The Time To Handcuff Them". It is evident when your profile has read something and so it becomes a art of your "Prior Training And Experience"...those who know the implications of that know what I mean...the rest...start reading what you scanned.

Ambushes and Anchor Shots...a far better name than TASI

And thoughtful comments indicating analysis and comprehension will strengthen any after-action claims or defenses.

I don't remember if I ever told you the story about the time we were walking though Target and she was wearing some bubble gum pink latex leggings and a guy walking by was so distracted that he walked right into an endcap. It was hilarious. As for me even wearing cargo shorts and a T shirt I stick out in most groups. lol.

Be non-gray by default. But a skilled criminal has the ability to be a social chameleon.

THIS!!!!

I knew a gentleman in the old life that worked LAPD SIS...yeah...those guys back before all the bullshit police reform. He was a big strong dude of the "Dorkface Mold". He could capture the room with his energy when he walked in...unmistakeable...a powerful dude...a killer. But damn how he could just melt into the background and become invisible when he wanted to.
