DPM – Camo Across the Pond

Friday, June 20th, 2008

British Soldier Systems industry sources have indicated that the MOD is poised to announce next week changes to the temperate and arid variants of the Disruptive Pattern Material camouflage. Testing of a digital version of the pattern has been halted and in its place both the arid and temperate styles will see a slight palette change in order to better accommodate scrub brush. Additionally, an entirely new variant of DPM is set to be unveiled that is intended exclusively for field equipment and is a compromise between the two current patterns.

Custom Metal Tags

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Have you ever needed to mark a bag or a box for deployment? One of the best ways is to attach an embossed metal tag to the item. Another great use for a “Dog Tag” is to record lock combinations and always wear the tag. Getting custom tags can be difficult because most veterans want something of the same quality as a set of the classic “Dog Tags” that they wore while in uniform. Considering that the ID tag hasn’t changed since WWII, there must be something to the design. One source for such tags is My Dog Tags. They produce military style tags with any message and have templates on their site for those who want the correct information for each service on their tags.
