Student Comments

“The instructor knew all the subjects like the back of his hand…A+++!”

SMSgt G. Enwright Office of the Secretary of the Air Force

“The instructor was a true professional, and very knowledgeable on the course material. The instructor presented an outstanding class...If I can get this course material to all of our personnel, it will pay off 10-fold.”

GSgt I. Taylor                                  USMC

“Met and exceeded all of my expectations…no shortcuts during the delivery of the lectures. The instructor should be the standard by which all instructors should be judged.”

L. McMillan Embassy of Trinidad & Tobago

“From the very beginning of the course, it was apparent that Mr. Gundry was highly educated and very experienced in the subject matter he was presenting. This gave him credibility and ease in delivery. The thorough and deliberate coverage of the terrorist mindset, methodologies, and information requirements in the first half of the program made the second half of the program more relevant.”

Capt. H. Hall                                  USMC
