Welcome to Whiskey, Lead, and Steel, the official podcast of Aggressive Defensive Solutions. In this episode, hosts Ric Sutton, Lee Curling, and Jeremy Phillips dive into a lively discussion on the fashion faux pas and questionable gear choices often observed in shooting matches and training days. The panelists waste no time in tackling the topic head-on, starting with the egregious error of wearing plate carriers without actual plates, a practice that undermines the purpose and effectiveness of the gear.

Jeremy kicks off the conversation with a straightforward observation: "Quick Answer, wearing plate carrier without ******* plates." This statement sets the tone for the discussion, highlighting the absurdity of donning tactical gear without fully understanding its intended function. The panelists delve deeper into this issue, emphasizing the importance of training with the gear you intend to use in real-life scenarios. They emphasize the principle of "fight like you train, train like you fight," pointing out the disconnect between appearance and functionality when individuals prioritize aesthetics over practicality.

Lee chimes in, noting the irony of trying to look the part without actually embodying it: "You're trying to look apart, not be a part." This sentiment resonates throughout the conversation, as the hosts dissect various fashion choices that call into question the wearer's understanding of tactical equipment. From dangling gloves and embellished records to hanging ear pro off firearms, the panelists highlight the potential hazards and inefficiencies associated with these practices.

Ric shares personal anecdotes and professional insights, drawing from his experience as a former Marine and police officer. He emphasizes the importance of form following function, criticizing individuals who prioritize appearance over practicality. Ric highlights the dangers of improperly worn gear, recounting instances where tactical equipment hindered rather than aided his performance in high-stress situations.

The conversation takes a humorous turn as the hosts discuss additional fashion blunders, including wearing hats backward and displaying mismatched camouflage patterns. They poke fun at the tendency to emulate military or law enforcement aesthetics without fully understanding the rationale behind certain gear choices. Through witty banter and colorful anecdotes, the panelists drive home the message that functionality should always trump fashion in tactical attire.

Concluding, the hosts urge listeners to prioritize safety and practicality when selecting and wearing tactical gear. They encourage individuals to educate themselves on proper gear usage and train accordingly to avoid falling prey to the pitfalls of poser culture. With their signature blend of humor and expertise, Ric, Lee, and Jeremy deliver an entertaining and insightful exploration of the dos and don'ts of tactical fashion.
