Remember the Men We Lost During Operation Eagle Claw

Thursday, April 24th, 2014

Today marks a different anniversary. In the early morning hours of 25 April, 1980 President Carter announced to a stunned world that the United States had undertaken an ambitious raid into Iran to liberate 52 American hostages held illegally at our Embassy in Tehran. Unfortunately, that raid, named Operation Eagle Claw was unsuccessful and we lost 8 American servicemen. Join me in remembering their sacrifice.

But, this failure was the watershed event that created, over the next several decades the world’s preeminent Special Operations capability; USSOCOM and it’s components. We wouldn’t be where are today with the determination of that fledgling task force. Join me in remembering those that paved the way.

Warrior West – Excel Wetsuits Launches Thermal Dry Celliant

Thursday, April 24th, 2014

I got a chance to check out a prototype of the new Thermal Dry Celliant wetsuit from Excel during last Fall’s Uber University. I was impressed.

Excel has adopted an entirely new next-to-skin material provided by Celliant which offers heat reflective properties; very important for wetsuits. It also helps to mitigate diver fatigue.

In addition to the new material story, Excel also is the exclusive offerer of Crocodile color from Arc’teryx.

These new suits also incorporate design features normally found in surf suits meaning more flexibility for these dive suits. Once again, very helpful for combat divers. They are offering these in 4 thicknesses – 3.5mil, 5.4 mil, 7.6 mil and 8.76 mil. Offered in full suits, shorties, farmer johns and hoods.

Made in USA in Hale Iwa, Hawaii. Available now.

LBT Inc has been designing and manufacturing specialized medical bags, pouches and packs since the very beginning. Shoot, one of the first pouches I purchased from LBT back in 91 was a medical pouch.

They recently realized that they currently produce over 100 products specifically for medical applications. At that point, they decided to update some of the items, introduce a few new ones and launch an LBT Medical line.

I had a chance to check out several of these items including military and civilian emergency medicine applications. Look for in-depth coverage soon on SSD.
