Green Beret Pro Am Shoot 2012

Sunday, October 28th, 2012

The Green Beret Foundation provides, fittingly enough, unconventional resources to facilitate the special needs of wounded, ill and injured Green Berets and imparts unique support to the Special Forces community in order to strengthen readiness and uphold Green Beret traditions and values.

You or your company can help the Green Beret Foundation in its endeavor to assist our nation’s finest by sponsoring a shooter for the 2nd Annual Green Beret Pro-Am Shooting Match sponsored by Raidon Tactics Inc. and hosted by 37 PSR Gun Club.

The Green Beret Pro-Am is being held on 12 November 2012 from 10am til 5pm. There will be five shooting stages, each testing the shooting abilities of each team member. The teams will consist of a wounded Green Beret and a sponsored competitor. You or your company can support a team or be a competitor yourself. The minimum donation to participate as a Competitor is $500 with 100% of your donation going directly to the GBF. There will be no overhead taken out of any donation funds. All sponsors that are not able to participate can still assist the GBF by donating prizes or other goods and services in support of this event. Last year the event raised $13,000 and they want to increase the amount this year to at least $20,000.

Felix Baumgartner’s Pressure Suit

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

Today Felix Baumgartner attempts to break four world records, three of which were set in the early 1960s. Both were set by military men. The highest altitude parachute jump and longest freefall was set in 1960 by USAF Capt Joe Kittinger and the highest altitude manned balloon flight was set in 1961 by USN Cdr Malcolm Ross and Lt Cdr Victor Prather. Unfortunately, Lt Cdr Prather died during the recovery at sea.

Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner is attempting to shatter these records and also be the first human to break the sound barrier in freefall.

In order to make a jump from 120,000′ he is making the ascent in a ballon. There is little atmosphere at that altitude and as soon as he depressurized the balloon’s cabin his life would be at danger if it weren’t for his pressurized suit and helmet manufactured by David Clark. Unfortunately, there is an issue with his heated visor. The mission continues as the ground team assesses their options.

Lets cheer him and his team on.
