023: Frank Bito of Bull Creek Strategic on the Duality of Contracting

Talk Back to MeThe time has come to let die the idea that private contracting is grass-is-greener situation. In exchange for looser uniform restrictions, and a modicum of control over one's schedule, one has to put up with constant pressure to leave home behind, and will generally face greater scrutiny when it comes to the use of force. Frank Bito, of Bull Creek Strategic, and Escarpment Arms talks about the cost of friendship and cutthroat nature of the Private Contracting Circle. After a time in the Army, and continuing to work in a conflict zone, he started a training company and gun shop. One constant that's more substance than style within the contracting world is this: Your Reputation is Everything. Similarly, no matter where one exists within gun culture, building one's reputation on a foundation of sand almost always catches up. Sometimes this looks like 'Stolen Valor' but more often it boils down to overpromising and underperforming, consistently, over time. Follow Frank Bito at @bullcreek.strategic and check their training schedule at www.bullcreekstrategic.comSupport the Channel at www.redactedllc.com and follow us at @redactedllc--Up your helmet camo game: pickup the REDACTED x AXL Squid Scrim Kit at axladvanced.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
