About Charles “Smittytrain” Smith

​

Charles “Smittytrain” Smith is a U.S. Army infantry veteran, former investigator, Peer Support Specialist, and decade survivor of Compounded Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, 30 years in addiction recovery, and a suicide attempt that I call my most proud failure. Truth is that I wear many hats. I'm also a proud father of 4 amazing kids. Which is why I do this. I care. Not just about my family, but about all families, no matter the race, color, or creed, the way it should be. 

 

I am also the proud founder of Operation K.A.T.A. (Knowledge, Awareness, Tactics, Action) for use in safety and protection, to bring your family home, safe. I write so newcomers can understand. I don't use field jargon, I use plain words. I also don't sugar coat though, I tell it like it is and back it up with life experience and facts. 

​

Life-Long Experience is my bookstore and library: practical books and workbooks for awareness, safety, and growth in everyday life. Flagship title: Operation: Enlighten. The K.A.T.A. cycle behind the work is Knowledge, Awareness, Tactics, and Action.

​

You are worth protecting.
