Wright-Pat’s GearFit Shortens Feedback Loop

Monday, July 25th, 2022

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio (AFNS) —

A new application called GearFit is giving Airmen a direct line to share feedback on fitment and utility of the gear they wear to perform their missions.

Members can input their comments on body armor, harnesses, helmets and more, and they are instantly shared with the development teams responsible for designing and acquiring that gear.

Taylor Harrison, Combat Ready Airman program manager in the Agile Combat Support Directorate, joined with Nicole Wright and Sarah Tress with Skylight Digital, on an episode of AFLCMC’s Leadership Log podcast to discuss the new application.

“This program has been super amazing because we are getting feedback from our Airmen, the end user,” Harrison said. “We are not just delivering and hoping that we hit the mark.”

This application, and the Combat Ready Airman program, is designed to help the 91% of Air Force jobs that do not include aircrew members or special operations, which already have programs focused on their needs.

“We focus solely on maintainers, Security Forces, medics, anybody that isn’t aircrew or special ops,” Harrison said.

Currently, equipment is identified at the unit level, which leads to a lack of consistency for gear across the Air Force. The Combat Ready Airman program is looking to ensure all gear is standardized. That could be simply providing a list of approved body armor vests that units can pick from.

GearFit came about in 2019 as the result of an AFWERX challenge. Specifically, it was designed to collect anthropometric data on female Airmen to better define requirements and specifications of gear being acquired from industry. The program is now expanded to collect data from male Airmen as well.

Nicole Wright, GearFit product manager, led the team from Skylight Digital that collaborated with Air Force developers at the Business and Enterprise Directorate’s BESPIN software factory to develop the GearFit website.

“We are working on building out the GearFit website and experience. We are continuously releasing new features and iterations on feedback we hear to get closer to optimizing the goals that Taylor was talking about,” Wright said.

Yeti Boonie Hat

Sunday, July 17th, 2022

I keep hearing rumors of Yeti clothing coming but the first trickles have been hats and shirts.

I like it if for no other reason than they call it a “boonie” and not a bucket hat. Truth be told, that chinstrap is super long and will probably result in someone hanging themselves. But overall it’s nice. Considering the inflation we are currently experiencing, I hate saying something is pricey.

Aside from this nice frog camo it’s also available in OD and Tan. If you like the camo pattern, they’ve also got sun shirts to match.

Identifying Close Combat Uniform And Combat Uniform Prototypes

Thursday, June 30th, 2022

Since my slightly out-of-control obsession with CCU/CUs began a couple of years ago, I’ve wanted to make a short post outlining the differences and similarities between the experimental Close Combat and Combat Uniforms.

I made a more in-depth post in July of last year (on IG) which goes into much more detail, so definitely check that out if you want to learn a little more about their development and history.

Nevertheless, the first thing that stands out are the shoulder pockets. This is the first thing to look for when identifying a CCU/CU as the pleat on the CCU is quite obvious. This should be enough to identify which pattern you have, but the other smaller changes are interesting to note as they show a clear progression and eventually, evolution into the ACU.

Here is a list of all the design changes that progressed the CCU into the CU:

– Pleats on the shoulder pockets were removed

– Flaps on the front pockets were lengthened

– A vertical line of stitching was added above either chest pocket.

– Pleats removed from the elbow pad pockets

– Velcro patch on the cuff adjustment flap was shortened.

– On some later versions of the CU, the label was moved from under the right breast pocket to under the lower back.

This post only encompasses the coat element of the uniform. A few minor alterations were also made to the trousers, however, they are not particularly noteworthy.

Something that is noteworthy, however, is that both of the coats shown in this post are now available for sale on our website. Check them out at www.omegamilitaria.com.
