No one needs anyones permission,especially not US Government permission, to run a series of Patches.
Show me letters of appreciation from Unit heads on Unit Stationary,stating that they only use this Great Method of Close combat,not patches.
What does it take to claim training a unit?
So many today train a guy,one person, from a unit like the FBI,CIA ,Special Forces,SEALs and they then make public claims they train units,lol.
Former Police Commisioner Bernard Kerik made a claim in a Book that he trained Special Forces in H2H at Ft Bragg.
I had opportunity to meet him and I asked him and he said he had been an assistant instructor at a Martial arts school just outside of Ft Bragg,NC, and that they had members of Special Forces in the Classes.
Big Difference to me in the meaning of the statements,but not to him nor many like him.
I took the Instructors course under Jim Wagner,the materials were basic and usable,his claims when you talk to him are GREATLY exaggerated,to the uninformed the claims are impressionable and a reason for them to hold the training as presenting Great skills.
Train with people for knowledge growth,not for the stories they tell.
It has been demonstrated that Ralf could not have been on LAPD SWAT just from the timeline of Dates he provided.
Hock has posted a letter saying he,Ralf, is not affiliated with NASTA.
Ralf has been shown to have exaggerated his claims,but many ,many,others do the same thing.
If the Materials were so good,so secret and so useful to the units depicted by use of the patches,the guy would not have time to teach civilians as he would be contracted to be teaching US government agencies and military.
Who cares to verify every patch this guy put up on his page.
He needs NO Permission to post them,he makes no claim to them only LAPD SWAT and Special Operations (he has a SEAL Trident up but nothing from LAPD SWAT) and he has been shown to not have been able to be a member of LAPD SWAT with 1 year claim to service.
One does not enter the LAPD as a member of SWAT.
Also how does he fill his requirements as a Reserve Officer every month? lol
If people think his materials are good try them.
If his claims are a factor in a decision to train with him,then he has been proven to have exaggerated such claims
but
perhaps some may gain something from what he teaches,it depends on what they are looking for and their past experiences.
Forget the Sales Pitches,look at the Materials, look at the feed back from those who have taken the course/s.
