"We took our EOD unit out to the Survival Training School of California with Thomas Coyne for a week of training.  The intent was to perfect our ability to operate in cross-climate field conditions... Thomas is the best - his level of knowledge on all things survival is unparalleled.  There's a reason we went to him, why the Marines go to him, why Navy SPECWAR goes to him, etc.  He is a consummate professional, conducts an amazing course, and taught us skills that will surely serve our troops well in the challenges that await them.  Thanks Thomas!"

D. Myatt, Captain, U.S. Air Force EOD

“The ability of individual members to anticipate each other’s needs, and fill them without being asked, is a hallmark of high functioning team. This maintains a level of ‘flow’ and tempo that could not be achieved otherwise. It lessens member’s frustrations with each other in high stress environments, builds trust, and therefore increases team confidence and capability.”
