Ownership. Skills. Stewardship

Holistic Self-Protection Training for the Modern Protector

What Makes OSS² Different

Most firearms and survival training fixate on speed, scores, and outcomes. At OSS², we start somewhere else: with the human being who has to live with their decisions.

Our training is holistic, not just outcome-based. We combine modern combat shooting and survival skills with mindset, mindfulness, and psychological armor so you can solve violent problems quickly and calmly, without losing yourself in the process.

This is training for people who want more than tactics. It’s for people who want to become better protectors, better teammates, and better humans.

The OSS² Framework

OSS² — Ownership. Skill. Stewardship. (Outer Skill × Inner Strength)

Ownership

You own your safety, your decisions, your training and your impact on others.

Skill

Pressure-tested, functional shooting, survival, and problem-solving skills.

Stewarship

Of your mind, body, family, and community; the opposite of the ego-driven gun culture.

Squared (²)

Outer skills multiplied by inner strength = mental health, emotional regulation, and moral courage.

Who We Serve

OSS² Survival & Shooting is a holistic shooting and survival school based in Morgantown, WV, created by retired Green Beret JD Morris and Team. We train civilians, law enforcement and tactical units in modern combat shooting, survival and decision-making. In addition, our mission is to train the inner human: mindset, emotional regulation, and psychological armor.

Civilian Protectors

You don’t need a stack of deployments to train like your life matters. Our mindfully armed citizen courses are built for everyday people who want to protect what they love without falling into fear-driven gun culture. We focus on decision-making, avoidance, de-escalation, and last-resort force—so if you ever have to act, you do so deliberately.

Law Enforcement & Tactical Units

JD spent over 15 years as a Green Beret in 5th Special Forces Group, leading and training on demolitions, sniper operations, CQB, and survivability, including multiple deployments to the Middle East. We bring that experience forward to design mission-specific courses for patrol officers, SWAT, and specialized teams who need training that respects both risk and restraint.

Veterans & High-Stress Professionals

Many of our students carry high levels of operational or life stress. OSS² integrates mindfulness, Whole Health principles, and peer-support tools for mental wellness and suicide prevention, so the training range becomes a place of rebuilding, not just performance.

I’ve spent my life in the self-protection world, and I’m extremely selective about who I trust to stand at the front of the room with me. JD is one of those very rare people. He’s not just technically outstanding – his background speaks for itself – but what matters to me even more is the way he teaches. There’s no ego, no theatrics, just a calm, grounded presence and a deep respect for the weight of what we’re training people to do.
