Norotos Product Briefing

Monday, May 9th, 2011

Norotos Director of Manufacturing Rob Prendergast gave us a great rundown on three products during last week’s Warrior Expo West.

The Universal Shroud fits helmets with one or three holes and can be fitted with a strap for helmets that are not drilled. It also features a low profile as well as a breakaway tether plug.

Adaptable to the PVS 7,14,15,18,21, the Improved Night Vision Goggle Mount is backward compatible to any standard mount out there. Of all three of these products it is the most versatile and most applicable due to its compatibility with a variety of systems and unparallelled adaptability.

Finally, the Dual Dovetail Adapter allows you to rapidly transition the sight from right to left eye or vice versa. It also turns the PVS14 off when in the up position and turns it back on when lowered.

Source One Distributors Donates $6,000 to FSU Veterans with Disabilities Business Program

Monday, May 9th, 2011

Source One Distributors, Inc and its founder Mark Llano, are supporting this year’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities program at Florida State University. The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) offers cutting edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines disabled as a result of their service supporting operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The intent of the EBV is to open the door to entrepreneurial opportunity and small business ownership by developing competencies in the many steps and activities associated with creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture. This is also achieved by helping veterans coordinate their efforts with programs and services for Veterans and others with disabilities.

At the end of this summer’s boot camp, each of the 22 participating veterans will present his or her individual business plan and entrepreneurial dream to a panel of judges during the second annual Source One Commercialization Plan Competition. The SOD sponsored program was very popular last year with participants and panel judges alike. The winners will be announced at the closing ceremony and will be presented with cash prizes by Source One CEO and President Mark Llano that they may then use to pursue their business goals. SOD will award two Veterans with $1,500 first-place prizes, two with second-place prizes of $1,000, and two with third-place prizes of $500.

The money for the prizes was offered to the program by Source One Distributors and its President and CEO, Mark Llano. “It’s heartening to see high caliber schools in our state such as Florida State University supporting the men and women of the armed forces,” said Llano, a Marine Veteran himself. “Programs such as the EBV are essential to our nation’s economic growth and prosperity. We are honored to be involved again and look forward to seeing the results of the boot-camp.”

The 2011 Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities will take place in Tallahassee, FL June 9-16th. For more information please visit: www.cob.fsu.edu/ebv

Infidel Caps Releases bin Laden T-shirt

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

Infidel Caps has just made their newest shirt available for pre-sale. The “Bin Laden” shows the perfect cocktail mix for the recently-departed terrorist mastermind on the back, while the term Infidel rides on the front, a view our enemies have of us which has easily become a term of endearment. The shirts are available in both black and grey, and come in sizes ranging from small to 2XL. Plus, bin Laden’s head is a martini olive with an AK for a toothpick. How can you not like that?

You can order this shirt, and other fine Infidel products, at infidelcaps.webs.com

Props to Tacticalfanboy.com for the story.

Gerber Cable Dawg

Saturday, May 7th, 2011

We were able to take a closer look at the Gerber Cable Dawg at Warrior Expo West. It is an impressive tool designed specifically for military Information Technology specialists but in our conversations with readers we have come to realize that it has just as much applicability in the civilian market. It features a Wire cutter, CAT5 jacket cutter, RJ45 Crimper Head, Wire strippers, Knife blade, Magnetic driver extension with tool heads. Additionally, the handles are crafted from glass filled nylon to help reduce weight and the side of the handle that houses the driver extension and tool heads can be removed.
