Soldier Systems and Social Media

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

In addition to our daily updates here on the site, there are several other ways to get your Soldier Systems fix. Don’t forget that we are a daily and normally update at least twice per day so come back regularly to keep up on the latest news. If that isn’t enough, we offer several alternatives.

Twitter
Our list of followers on Twitter continues to grow. In addition to alerts of new stories we also release information through Twitter that might be of interest to our readers or is related to our core content but originates elsewhere.

Facebook
We launched our Facebook page awhile back and are jut beginning to make use of it. Dissatisfied with how we have seen some companies use their accounts we wanted to get in there with a plan to make the experience more meaningful. Look for lots of content soon.
Facebook.com

iPhone
Our iPhone app has been extremely popular and delivers the latest updates directly to your iPhone each time you open it.
iTunes

M4Carbine.net
M4Carbine.net has been most gracious in offering us a dedicated sub-forum to interact with our readers. Not only is it a great place to discuss our articles and current issues in the Soldier Systems industry but M4Carbine.net gives access to the best group of Subject Matter Experts we have run across. No over-inflated CVs, no BS, just good information. Military, Law Enforcement, or a fan of the Black Rifle, you should be a member of M4Carbine.net.

Youtube
We post videos for our articles on our Youtube channel. Additionally, we make use of content posted by others. Look for more content in the future.

Kindle
Subscriptions to SSD’s content are available for the Kindle via Amazon.

The Future
Here at SSD we continuously look at ways to increase interaction with our readers. One example is that we are looking at releasing an app for the Android. Additionally, some of our writers have begun to develop specialized content for other sites. For example, you may have seen the article on Environmental Clothing Systems on ADS Inc’s web site. You will also begin to see some of our stuff in print. More on that soon.

One final word. None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. We have affiliated ourselves with reputable companies who provide solid products and services and we would not hesitate to recommend any of them. At SSD we look at our sponsorship program as a two-way street. We are endorsing them as much as they are us and we urge you to support them.

We are constantly improving our fighting position, so if you have any additional ideas on ways SSD can do more for you, please feel free to share them with us.

Patagonia Slingshot in Coyote

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

The Slinghsot was a component of the Military Advanced Regulator System (MARS) military clothing system. A lightweight softshell, it has a bit of stretch built in. It is treated with a good DWR so light rain rolls right off. Two angled bicep pockets feature Velcro for insignia and the collar is lined with fleece. Finally, there are two deep pockets in the chest to warm hands or store essentials. Currently sizes Small – XX-Large are in stock. The torso is true to size with plenty of room for base layers but some may find the sleeves a bit short and also be aware that the cuff is elasticized. At $90 it is a smokin’ deal so these won’t be around for long at this price. Order at www.Patagonia.com.

SFA Ch 90 4th Annual Golf Tournament

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Special Forces Association Chapter 90 is hosting it’s 4th Annual Golf Tournament on 14 May 2010 in Fredericksburg, VA. In addition to a general call for active and former Special Forces troops to participate they are seeking sponsors. Last year they raised over $48,000 that went to several different organizations that supports our Troops and their families. This year their goal is to raise over $50,000 with all donations split between the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), Fisher House, and Purple Heart Homes. Specifically, they need companies to sponsor a “Tee Box” and/or be a gift sponsor, which are used for raffles or door prizes. Last year they raffled off a M1 Garand that generated even more revenue for the charitable organizations. In addition to the tournament Chapter 90 will also be sponsoring an SF-style social event the night before for all of their sponsors. Timing for the tournament is excellent as it is the Friday before the Soldier Systems APBI.

All interested parties please visit www.sfach90.org.

SFA Chapter 90 is named in honor of MSG Richard Ferguson, “Fergie”, who served with 2d BN, 10th SFG(A) at Fort Carson, Colorado.
