We have been around for several months now and got off to a rip roaring start. Content was more important than fluff and oddly enough, our spartan style has garnered a lot more praise than we had expected. However, its hard to have proper business cards (or T-shirts for that matter) without a logo so we went to one of our favorite artists, Mil Spec Monkey and he put together several concepts. We liked this one. You will begin to see it more often.
Check out Mil Spec Monkey on the web.

We are happy to give you a by-line but since, thus far this is a non-wealth generating pursuit there will be no payment. However, so far everyone has wanted to keep it anonymous.

This is an official Press Release…
Fort Belvoir, VA—The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier has launched an Internet-based survey system to support its mission to aggressively incorporate Soldier feedback into everything it does.
More than 30 surveys, announced on AKO and available to Soldiers through a link on the PEO Soldier Web site peosoldier.army.mil, are designed to give Soldiers a forum to communicate their thoughts and suggestions up the chain of command. The surveys cover everything from clothing and individual equipment—gloves, goggles, and battering rams—to individual and crew served weapons such as the M4 carbine and the M110 sniper system.
As The Army continues its efforts to employ the Soldier-as-a-System concept, Soldier feedback is critical. Soldier-as-a-System calls for everything a Soldier wears and carries to be streamlined, integrated and effective. While the Army’s skilled laboratories, research centers, and contractors develop and modernize the next generation of equipment for the battlefield, everything comes down to what the men and women on the ground actually need, use, and accept as beneficial. Web-based surveys have already proven to be a direct and effective way to shine a spotlight on that essential point of view.
An earlier version of the online survey system was used to gather comments regarding the new Army Service Uniform. PEO Soldier received more than 80,000 responses to this survey alone. Converting such extensive feedback into actionable changes is no simple task. As Brig. Gen. Mark Brown, PEO Soldier, noted, “We had experts from Operational Forces Interface Group (OFIG) do the mathematical and statistical analyses of the responses so that we could categorize the feedback that we received to support good decisions.â€
“In meeting battlefield requirements, we find that there is rarely a silver bullet that will take care of all existing uniform or equipment requirements,†said Brown. “It is an integrated process, and we manage the Soldier as a system to get there.†As long as technology improves to create more lightweight, efficient, unobtrusive solutions to the challenges every Soldier faces, PEO Soldier will find ways to integrate these products to improve Soldier capabilities, save Soldiers’ lives, and improve Soldiers’ quality of life.
Soldier surveys are just one of many methods PEO Soldier employs to consistently and innovatively provide the best for the best.
The surveys can be found here: PEO Soldier
A CAC card is required to fill out a survey.

In honor of one of the finest movies ever made, I have to post one of my favorite quotes from the movie.
“Major T. J. “King” Kong: Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
