Book Description
Strike Fighter Squadron 154 (VFA-154), also known as the "Black Knights", is a United States Navy strike fighter squadron stationed at Naval Air Station Lemoore. The Black Knights are an operational fleet squadron flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet. As of 2014, VFA-154 is attached to Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) and deployed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68). Their callsign is "Knight". The roots of VFA-154 can be traced back to VBF-718, a Naval Air Reserve squadron which was established at NAS New York, on July 1, 1946. The squadron was redesignated VF-68A, on February 1, 1947, VF-837 on December 1, 1949, VF-154 on February 1, 1953 and, finally, VFA-154 on October 1, 2003. Black Knights Rule! (BKR) - A Pictorial History of VBF-718 / VF-68A / VF-837 / VF-154 / VFA-154 - 1946-2013, is the first one of the new US NAVY SQUADRON HISTORIES. The photo coverage on the lineage of the Black Knights is as comprehensive as one has ever seen, both in terms of photography and historical content.

Pages : 247
Book Description
Black Knight Squadron Book 1, Foundations:Foundations is the story of a group of like-minded police officers, SWAT officers, armed citizens, and military veterans who happen to be training together when the lights go out. Like most of you would, they quickly know what's up. Unlike most people, the Black Knight Squadron has the training and resources to do something about it on a large scale. Caught in the friction between the emergency measures necessary to maintain order and their deep belief in the Constitution, the Black Knight Squadron must navigate the murky ethical and constitutional waters of a post-apocalyptic world using only their faith, trust in one another, and the skills born of years of hard work and training. Can they keep a mid-sized city from ripping itself apart? They don't know, but they're going to try.We live in a time when our inner-city culture teeters on the edge of savagery. When the lights go out in America's ghettos, it will be a short descent from the rule of law to the law of the jungle.The Black Knight Squadron saga of books are unique in that all of the capabilities and equipment, and most of the people, are real. While the Black Knight Squadron saga is primarily intended as an enjoyable work of fiction, it also serves as the author's pre-game exercise for the apocalypse.To learn more about the Black Knight Squadron series, and to see more content, including pictures, maps, discussions and updates, find us on Facebook by searching @blackknightsquadronbooksAbout the Author:Born and raised in the tony suburbs of Sacramento, California, John Chapman (known to his friends as Chappy) joined the Navy at 18. After his enlistment, Chappy returned home to Northern California and embarked on a law enforcement career while attending college.Over 20 years later, Chappy has served in Patrol, SWAT, Investigations, Training and Admin assignments. Chappy became a firearms and tactics instructor in 1994, and has traveled the US and the world teaching armed citizens, SWAT teams and military units combat marksmanship and tactics. Best known in the tactical community as a BCM Gunfighter, SWAT trainer and night vision instructor, Chappy continues to teach, now exclusively for Forge Tactical, a training firm serving law enforcement and armed citizens.He maintains his police commission, and serves as a Police Officer with the Alliance, Ohio Police Department, where he serves as a SWAT Team Leader. Chappy also volunteers his time to serve as the Director of Training for the Ohio Tactical Officers Association, the largest state tactical officers association in the country.Chappy lives in northeast Ohio with his wonderful and patient wife Kris and their cat Duce. When he's not chained to his desk writing, he can be found at the Alliance Police Range shooting, developing curriculum, testing gear, and teaching.To learn more about opportunities to train with Chappy and his partner John Spears, visit forgetactical.com.
