What is the difference between a coach and instructor and a mentor? During this week's episode we will consider the question in detail. To include a deep dive into the Mentor/Mentee relationship during our Leadership Lessons.

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc. we follow up on last week's discussion regarding protecting our optics. Professor Paul has a new article published that you can use for a reference.

In our Coffee Corner, the Professor highlights sections from the SOTG Instructor Development Manual 2.0. And, you have the opportunity to purchase some Blackout Coffee and support the show.

For our SOTG Homeroom, brought to you by Student of the Gun University, Paul and Jarrad will consider the press check. From where did this abomination come and for what reason does it remain? Is there a better way to ensure that your self-loading firearm has a round chambered?
