Saturday, March 17th, 2012GEN Petraeus Knighthood Photos
Friday, March 16th, 2012
Here are a couple of photos from the Knighting ceremony for GEN David Petraeus, USA (Ret) during which he was honored by the Ministry of Defence with the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Orange Nassau with swords.
Thanks AO!
Sir David Petraeus, GEN USA (Ret)
Friday, March 16th, 2012
The Dutch Minister of Defense has knighted GEN David Petraeus, USA (Ret) at the Hague. There are several Orders of Knighthood in the Netherland, some the responsibility of the Ministry, others solely the purview of the Crown. Though there are no details yet, it is likely GEN Petraeus was Knighted into the Military William Order, the Order of the Netherlands Lion or the Order of Orange Nassau. As the Military William Order (the highest honor the Dutch can give) and Order of Orange Nassau are the two military decorations
it is likely one of these. The motto of the Military William Order is Vor Moed, Beleid en Trouw, or “For Bravery, Leadership and Loyalty”; there are seven levels of the Order of Orange Nassau. Both are open to foreigners. We’ll have to see which one GEN Petraeus earned.

SSD Server Upgrades
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012As you probably have noticed over the past few months our server has been a little overwhelmed so we are moving to a new server tonight. By morning you should notice a significant difference and within 24 hours all of the DNS servers should have updated with our new IP and everyone can have a more enjoyable SSD experience. We’re running both servers simultaneously during the process so you shouldn’t experience any interruptions.
I want to say thank you to all of you guys who helped crush the server on Sunday under the weight of your clicks. It was the straw the broke the camel’s back and hastened our long delayed move. Everyone will be the better for it.
Thanks to SC Webmaster for your continued support throughout our growth.

SOFREP Launches The Load Out Room
Thursday, March 1st, 2012Brandon Webb, the boss over at SOFREP told me last week that they would be launching a new section on their site that would be gear centric. I mean after all, you can’t write about SOF and ignore all of the cool gadgets and gear associated with the business.
He sent along this message as well…
“Me and the former Editors at Kit Up are really excited to bring you guys unencumbered hard core reviews on our favorite guns and gear.
I want to give a special thanks to Eric Graves for all his support and encouragement when I told him we were striking out on our own. It’s all about long term relationships with our core audience and other link minded blogs. The Loadout Room looks forward to a long relationship with our friends over at Soldier Systems Daily. It’s a daily read for me. Enjoy our new site!”
