THULS Giveaway
Saturday, April 16th, 2011
We’ve raved about THULS in the past and for good reason. It isn’t that we are luddites, but if you’ve ever had to develop checklists for your unit you will know what a painful process it is. Then, you have to cover them in acetate ruining the first few while you get the process down and finally, once you finish them, you realize that none of the units to your left and right are using the same TTPs. The team at THULS takes all of the pain out of the process for you. They have experience working with everything from service level organizations to deployed task forces to communities of interest to develop standardized mission planning and execution products. Now, the beauty part. They are rewritable, even underwater.
Our friends at THULS have made a very generous offer. In fact, they have two offers. It is however, important to note that both giveaways are restricted to US/Coalition military due to the information contained in the checklists. While nothing is restricted, it is for official use only and releasable to Coalition.
Giveaway One
THULS is giving away a ISAF Reports and Language Module (THULS IRLM) to 10 individuals who leave a comment with their favorite weapon on this post. You can use any name you like for your comment but leave us a valid email address so we can contact you in case you win. If you win and do not provide a duty address we will need to verify your status.
Giveaway Two
THULS is also going to give one company-sized unit:
THULS Basic Infantry Operations Support (BIOS) Items
540 SPIE Cards (Accountability Cards)
64 LEPL (Leaders Equipment/Personnel List)
54 Individual Range Cards
12 Crew Served Range Cards
20 Team Sector Sketches
54 Map Overlays
16 Warning Orders
24 Fire Plan Sketches
28 MOPTs (Mounted Ops Planning Tool)
200 IT4Cs (Improved Casualty Cards)
You must enter by sending an email with Name, Rank and Unit to SSDfree@THULS.BIZ You cannot enter this giveaway on SSD so DO NOT leave that information here.
*Company 1st Sergeant or CO/XO will be contacted for shipping / receipt of BIOS items for winning unit.
Both giveaways will close on Monday 18 April 2011 at 1600Z (GMT).
Make sure you visit www.THULS.biz for more information.

Camo Design Contest Enters Phase II
Friday, April 15th, 2011We have now received all of your entries and will be preparing them over the weekend for Phase III which consists of voting. Phase III will begin Monday morning and run through Friday. You will only be able to vote once to preclude voter fraud. The most popular design will win the prize.
Only 1 Day Left to Enter the Camo Design Contest
Thursday, April 14th, 2011Make sure you get your entry in before tomorrow morning at 1200 GMT. Your entry doesn’t have to be computer generated. Take a couple of cans of krylon to an old bed sheet and take a photo of your handiwork if you don’t have computer skillz. The winner will be determined by a popular vote of your peers (kind of like how UCP was chosen, except there was no vote) next week. That $500 gift card to the winner from GSS is sounding pretty good.
Check out the full rules here.
