Thursday, June 30th, 2011How about we try something new? Since we don’t have a forum and many of you don’t use FaceBook how about we have an open swim?
You guys can pick any subject you want and discuss it so long as it pertains to Soldier Systems or Tactical Systems.
Feel free to say if you like something or hate it. Government, Civilian, your choice.
SSD Blocked?
Sunday, June 26th, 2011We’ve received a couple of reports that SSD has recently been blocked by web filters at several bases. Has anyone run across this?
The Future of QR Codes?
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011We’ve introduced you to Quick Response (QR) codes in the past. Sure, they’re cool, but pretty generic. That is, until now.
FaceBook user Stevewebstlouis created this variation on a theme for Triple Aught Design. Not only are the colors tacticool but it is customized with special design elements. Best of all, it works. Get your QR code at qrcode.kaywa.com. But, you’ll have to find somebody to customize it.
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, June 19th, 2011Fellow fathers, today is as much about you as it is about your kids. If you can, do something with them. If you can’t, talk to them. No matter how old you are, or they are, they still need you. And, thank the dad in your life.
“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
– Elizabeth Stone
Quote of the Day

“The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.”
-Napoleon Bonaparte
I thought this one was worthy of the website…
A Solemn and Introsprective Memorial Day to You
Monday, May 30th, 2011Memorial Day traces its roots to the post Civil War period. Originally known as Decoration Day, Veterans chose 30 May because it was NOT the anniversary of any battle. Over time it transformed to the last Monday in May and changed names but wasn’t recognized as an official national holiday until 1967. While the implementation of the holiday has changed somewhat as well, its intent has not; it’s about the Veterans. But just remember, earlier generations sacrificed in other ways, and those members of your family who didn’t fight the Axis on the battlefield probably served in their own fashion. Also, some wounds take years to kill you. So take some time today and consider what you and yours have done for America. This is a solemn occasion, I just don’t feel that “Happy Memorial Day” is a proper term.
