    Congrats, SSD! I think I was introduced to the site back in 2012, and provided I have internet service, it’s one of the only sites I visit almost daily.

    Hope for many more years to come!

  2. Kit Badger says:

    Congratulations buddy!

    Congrats, Eric. I forget how I found SSD but I remember visiting the site in the early days when posts weren’t as regular. I kept coming back every day to check if there was something new or exciting (loved the new Crye product previews). Watching it grow into a cornerstone of the industry has been something else.

    Congrats SSD, and thank you for all your hard work.

    You both help small companies get discovered, and also help us all discover so many cool products. You’ve also been the main source of news and data on the NGSW program over the years.

    I’ve been following almost the entire time. I’m visiting less as my military career is winding down but I greatly appreciate the work that you do. It is part of what inspired me to become a FA51C and now 1102.

    Mazel tov! A VITAL daily read for so many of us!!

    So which branch are you going to push your baby towards since it can enlist? Or have you had the “talk yet”? I’m okay with little SSD babies.
