Tyler Grey – Coming Back After A (War) Injury

Sunday, April 20th, 2014

Tyler Grey is an US Army Special Operations Veteran I met a few years back through some mutual friends. When you first meet him two things will strike you: the first is a very serious injury; you can’t shake his hand without becoming aware of it. The second is his great attitude.

Since I’ve had the opportunity to get to know him, I’ve come to know a man who won’t let life lick him. I’d say that’s one of the reasons he got involved with GORUCK and the tactical training industry. The guy’s a survivor. You need to take the time to go read about his experience, which he wrote about in an article currently on GORUCK’s website.

Ares Armor Writes Letter To ATF Director Todd Jones

Thursday, April 10th, 2014

At approximately 1015 AM PDT, Saturday, March 15th, the BATFE executed a search warrant on Oceanside, California-based Ares Armor, seizing 80% AR-15 polymer lowers manufactured by EP Armory, as well as private customer information. In response to this action, Dimitri Karras – CEO of Ares Armor, wrote a letter addressed directly to B. Todd Jones – Director of BATFE:

Letter to Todd Jones

In this letter, Dimitri, citing specific examples of prior court rulings and product manufacturing methods, outlines his reasoning as to why the 80% polymer lowers manufactured by EP Armory and later seized by the BATFE cannot be classified as a firearm. Dimitri requests that any seized 80% lowers be returned to Ares Armor. Additionally, he also requests that copies of private customer information that was obtained during the raid be destroyed.

SSD Is NOT Soliciting For Website Donations

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014

It has come to our attention that a website that is unaffiliated with Soldier Systems Daily or Tactical Fanboy has been soliciting vendors for “donations” in exchange for advertising. We do not do this. In fact, we don’t solicit for advertising at all. If you receive an email regarding advertising from SSD it’s because you inquired via the web or in person and we are following up.

There may be some confusion as the author of the emails soliciting donations shares my first name and doesn’t disclose his last name much like I do on the site. Additionally, we are currently not affiliated with any other websites and do not work off of donations. We have a set advertising plan.

Btw, please support our advertisers. They are all great folks and make this website possible.

Thank You…

Moray Commando Camo 5mm Wetsuit

Monday, March 31st, 2014

A buddy sent me the link to the Moray Commando Camo 5mm Wetsuit. His email was cryptic but described it to a “T”, it was a simple, “I found the Johnny Quest wetsuit.”

Moray wetsuits have been well known for years and this camouflaged model is intended for spear fishing. But, it might be just the ticket for guys looking to do a different form of hunting.
