I grew up in a military that was still full of Viet Nam Vets and the thought of American servicemen being left behind really meant a lot to us as a community. And, there was still hope that we might get some of those men back, alive. And while those hopes have gone for many, as a nation we still endeavor to recover the remains of our missing through the efforts of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command which has gone through a variety of name changes over the years.

While we’ve been fortunate to not have many POWs or MIAs in this conflict, please take some time to reflect on those over the years who didn’t make it back and must wander in our prayers and dreams until we can one day bring them home and unite them with their loved ones.
From our family to yours, Congratulations!

In addition to the new aircrew vest recently adopted by the British on display, they are also exhibiting their Serpa-based Tactical Holster System for European customers.
Over the past few days I’ve seen several “industry professionals” be anything but. I will not tolerate companies or individuals bashing one another. It really torques my head bolts that I have to regularly remind the collective readership that the Internet dehumanizes us and gives us this false sense that we can wild out and say any old crazy shit we want.
This behavior is unacceptable as a guest in my house; SSD. Address one another as you would if it was in person. That is the standard of behavior.
Cut the BS.
S.O. Tech will be debuting their new FLEX Tab Lite at the 2013 Maneuver Conference, held at Fort Benning, Georgia. They can be found at booth #143.
In early July, SSD was forced to place restrictions on sale announcements. Now, due to abuse of our generosity, we are implementing additional controls on sale announcements. Effective immediately, we will only post one sale announcement per month for non-advertising companies. It is unfair to the companies that support SSD for us to provide what amounts to free advertising to their competitors. Once a month is more than enough to allow small businesses to showcase their products and services to our readers. Additionally, we still require a 48 hour lead time to place any sales into our editorial lineup.
We are investing a great deal of time and money in a new solution that will allow vendors to post their own sales, free of charge. This will be great for vendor and reader alike, as it will be a one-stop for deals. But, until then, these policies will have to suffice in order to prioritize the editorial content of SSD.
This is not to be confused with product announcements. As always, you do not need to be an advertiser to submit those but we reserve the right to share those items we feel are right for our readers.
This past week, SSD posted its 9000th article. Not too shabby for a website that’s just over five years old. Don’t worry, I won’t break my arm patting myself on the back. I’ve got much too much planned for the next accomplishment, 10 000 posts, to do it one-handed.
