NRA Life of Duty – Patriot Profiles – The Spooner Brothers

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

This is a preview of NRA Life of Duty Patriot Profiles – Broken & Undone: “To be an American.” It features the story of Tom and Scot Spooner, Army Special Operations Veterans and founders of Invictus Alliance Group.

“It’s pretty damn amazing to be an American.”
-Scot Spooner

Scot and Tom, the more I know you, the more I like you. Scot’s opening comments in this video about being an American very much parallel my own feelings over the past few years as I came to grips with being a civilian. It was great to hear something similar from him. Thank you. Thank you both.

I’ve watched most if not all of the Patriot Profile series but at least from this trailer, this one touches me the most. The full feature will deal with PTSD and that’s one thing I don’t deal with but many of my friends do. It’s important that we all begin to learn about it.

Arc’teryx LEAF Limited Edition MultiCam Atom SV Hoody

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

Exclusive to three Arc’teryx LEAF distributors is a special build Atom SV Hoody in MultiCam. An insulated hood style jacket, the Atom SV is a mid weight insulation piece that provides core warmth during adverse weather conditions. Suitable for special recon tasks, rotary wing aircraft mounted or ground mobility vehicle mounted direct assault tasks, the Atom SV delivers exceptionally lightweight, breathable protection.

Arc’teryx-developed Coreloft insulation has a very high warmth-to-weight ratio and has also the advantage of retaining its warmth when wet. The resilient structure of the insulation resists compacting, so it can be repeatedly stored and returned to full loft. Weather-resistant fabric on the outside enables the hoody to function as an outer layer during light precipitation.

Sizes: S M L XL XXL

Available exclusively by region through

Oakley Airwave – GPS Enabled Goggle

Friday, November 2nd, 2012

The Oakley Airwave goggle was designed for the snowsports market. It integrates GPS, Bluetooth into a heads up display equipped goggle. Maps, temperature, jump analytics, speed, playlists and even the location of your friends are all accessible via an embedded screen that appears as if you are 5′ away from a 14″ monitor.

I’d expect to see these on Rob Curtis soon.
