Conducting nighttime parachute operations is serious business, even for the best. The NavBoard series is purposely built for in-flight navigation, giving you what you need when you need it. They are designed to conveniently mount to the front of an armor carrier or parachute harness for easy access. With multiple options, there is a NavBoardT for everyone.
Below, you can view a video which serves as an overview of the NavBoard Series:
Japanese fashion company Beauty and Youth has partnered with luggage company Briefing to produce a couple of Camo Flap Sacks. The Sacks are made of MilSpec materials, and sport a main buckle flap entry, front zip pouch, and two side compartments. Most notably, the packs seem to be made of Brookwood’s All Terrain Arid and All Terrain Transitional pattern fabric, a feature which isn’t mentioned in any of the info for the packs.
Thanks to ‘LUP’ for the tip!

Although I graduated from the Defense Language Institute’s German School in 1987, this episode of the Army’s “The Big Picture” produced in 1960, brings back some memories.
Have any readers attended DLI or other formal language training? I also attended a Haitian-Creole course at Fort Bragg in 93.
Thanks to fellow graduate and Army retiree John W for the find!
This photo is awesome. Let’s see how much of the kit in this photo you can identify.
The NVG Adapter will attach any HERO model to a night vision goggle with a PVS-14 Eyepiece Assembly. While the TNVC NVG Adapter for GoPro HERO will technically interface with all standard HERO models, it is optimized for the HERO4 Black and Silver as well as HERO3 and HERO3+. A translucent Wilcox Industries amber beam-splitter attaches to the rear of the goggle, bouncing the night vision image 90° into a perpendicular-mounted GoPro HERO camera. The camera mounts snugly against the goggle to minimize profile, via a clamp arm that attaches around the NVG Eyepiece Locking Ring. The user sees through the beam-splitter eyepiece normally while the first person POV is recording.

February 5, 2016 – North Carolina based small manufacturer Misty Mountain Threadworks, Inc. announced that it has entered into a partnership with Australian based military and tactical distributor Southern Cross Equipment PTY LTD of New South Wales, Australia to supply the Australian Department of Defence with Misty Mountain’s ISH harness.
Misty Mountain and Southern Cross have been working together for three years to develop the market for ISH and other Misty Mountain harnesses in Australia and New Zealand. Their first meeting was at the biannual Outdoor Retailer Trade Show in held in Salt Lake City, UT. Spencer McDonald of Southern Cross stopped at the Misty Mountain booth manned by Operations Manager Mike Lavarnway and President Goose Kearse. Spencer’s eye was caught by the Integrated Stealth Harness, a scalable personal protection system with belt, leg loops, and chest harness. ISH was designed and developed in conjunction with retired USAF PJ Ish Antonio and is the harness solution for USSOCOM’s TCCC CASEVAC Kit.
Spencer seeded key operators in the ADF with Misty Mountain harnesses and gear. He took in their feedback and helped Misty Mountain develop custom solutions as needed to best meet the Australian requirements. As a result of the Australian commandos’ evaluation of the ISH system they have selected the ISH Original Belt, Leg Loops, and Chest Harness for their personal protective harness. The ISH Sit Kit formed by the ISH Original Belt and Leg Loops and the ISH Chest harness all carry the UIAA Safety Label. For more information about ISH or any other of Misty Mountain’s climbing gear please visit www.mistymountain.com. Misty Mountain’s military and tactical gear is made in the USA and Berry Amendment Compliant. In Australia and New Zealand, Southern Cross is the exclusive distributor of Misty Mountain gear.
