Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The Field Microwave is the 21st century solution to the Soldier’s need for hot meals in the field. Using their revolutionary Exhaust to Electricity conversion unit, simply connect to the exhaust pipe of your Hummvee and cook like the pros!

The Field Microwave features a standard ACU finish to blend in with your surroundings. The enemy will never know you are enjoying hot meals. The shoulder and waist pads making moving this cookware simple and easy. The optional MOLLE accessory plate keeps cooking accessories organized. Add a pouch for salt and pepper, or a bag with cleaning tools. The possibilities are endless!

Should you be overrun by the enemy, the unit is equipped with a self destruct mechanism because the last thing on your mind is leaving the opposition with hot meals.

If you order now and get a week’s supply of Tactical ACU Meals including ACU Burritos, ACU Cup-O-Soup and ACU Popcorn for snacking on the go.

This site launched on May 17th of 2008 with a post of the same title. As DNS servers update over the next few days everyone will get a chance to see our new look. We’ve kept the same news-style that has made us so successful but added some sponsorship opportunities in order to further improve our capabilities and coverage.

We’ve also done a few things like adding our logo as well as making it easier to contact us. So you won’t be seeing those pesky admin notices anymore telling you how to email us.

We look forward to serving you even more in 2009 and beyond.

Soldier Systems Blog Logo

We have been getting lots of feedback from our readers over the past few weeks and even a couple of stories so if you want to write for Soldier Systems Daily its pretty simple. Just contact the Editor with your article idea. Seriously, that’s all you have to do. Generally, we want an article that is a couple of paragraphs long and answers the basic who, what, where, when, why, and how. Pictures are also helpful but make sure you have the permission of the owners. We are happy to give you a by-line if you ask. One caveat for vendors, we will happily post press releases but the impact is much greater if someone checks out your product and writes an article on it.

Interested parties can contact Soldier Systems Daily at admin@soldiersystems.net.

Emergency

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Emergency by Neil Strauss

I read a good book over the weekend. Recently released, the cover of “Emergency” claims that it “This Book Will Save Your Life”. While there are a fair number of good pointers throughout the book, it’s really an autobiographical journey of self-discovery. We follow the author, Neil Strauss as he begins to realize that the world he lives in is a much more dangerous place than he always believed. Having taken the fruits of civilization for granted he begins his transformation from sheeple to survivor to sheep dog. While his initial motivations are somewhat questionable, I feel he becomes a better man and ultimately, better neighbor for having made the trip. Readers will find familiar personalities, schools, and TTPs in the book. I highly suggest you pick up this book, it is an entertaining read and the part that I found most enjoyable was how Strauss begins to see the world in a more pragmatic light and masters his fears.

Check out the author’s website for sample chapters.
