The Lieutenant Don’t Know T-Shirts

Monday, October 28th, 2013

How can you not appreciate a pitch like this?

BLUF: Everyone needs a t-shirt that says “The Lieutenant Don’t Know”. Because he doesn’t/didn’t/don’t. I’m looking for help funding the 2014 launch of my book “The Lieutenant Don’t Know” which tells the story of one Marine unit in Afghanistan in 2010. T-shirt sales will help fund the marketing and launch of the book!

If you still need a reason to purchase one, consider this:

Oh, and remember kids, MCO P1020.34G states that you can’t wear this bad boy in uniform. Best keep this one for off-duty hours and black ops…

American Apparel Jersey T-shirt Sizes: S – 3XL in OD.

Get yours at www.booster.com/lieutenantdontknow.

Combat Flip Flops Expeditionary Production Facility – Indiegogo Campaign

Sunday, October 20th, 2013

Combat Flip Flops is currently hosting a crowdfunding effort on Indiegogo. They are looking to raise enough dough to build and set up their Expeditionary Production Facility in Afghanistan. The Expeditionary Production Facility, or EPF, is a flip flop factory in a 40′ shipping container that can be delivered and set up to quickly establish a manufacturing facility in an area. The total cost for building the facility, shipping it to and constructing it in Afghanistan, hiring and training workers, purchasing raw materials for one year of production, and other expenditures is $500,000. They’ve even outlined the distribution of their funding requirements:

Fully funded, Combat Flip Flops’ EPF will provide:

Employment for 25 Afghans to manage and run the EPF

Employment for five Americans on the CFF Staff

60,000 new pairs of flip flops, made in Afghanistan

Additionally, if this comes off, Combat Flip Flops will become the #1 footwear and #1 textile exporter of Afghanistan. Donate and/or spread the word, if you can and get in on some cool rewards.
