ITS Tactical Single Point Koozie

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

ITS Tactical developed this Single Point Koozie with Zulu Nylon Gear. It’s a very nice application of the style. While they credit OSOE with the original design, I remember as a kid the Life Support guys in my dad’s unit sewing shoulder straps made from tubular nylon on to a Velcro harness affair to hold foam beer coazies circa the early 80s. We had a couple around the house. The idea is old, but this application is well executed.

“While we certainly can’t take credit for the first tactical koozie, that goes to our friend John Willis over at OSOE, with his blessing we’ve created our Single Point Koozie which draws it’s inspiration from the coolest piece of kit from our last Hog Hunt.

These koozies feature MultiCam Jacquard Webbing, MultiCam Loop, removable strap, drainage grommet and even removable ITW QASM buckles to mount it to your belt!”

Keep Calm and Return Fire – The Bottle

Monday, May 7th, 2012

The ‘Keep Calm and Return Fire’ phrase has been applied to a Tan, 32 oz Liberty Bottle Works bottle along with the SSD logo. We first wrote about Liberty Bottle Works from 2011 Summer OR show. Remember, they are 100% American made and completely BPA free and this is the only bottle on the market with using 100% recycled materials. It also features a unique cap. You can feel when it ‘clicks’ into place.

Happy 25th Anniversary USSOCOM

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

April 16, 2012 marked the 25th Anniversary of USSOCOM. Having spent many years of my career in Army, Air Force, and Joint SOF units, I have a special affinity for the command and its personnel.

However, today marks a different anniversary. In the early morning hours of 25 April, 1980 President Carter announced to a stunned world that the United States had undertaken an ambitious raid into Iran to liberate 52 American hostages held at our Embassy. Unfortunately, that raid, named Operation Eagle Claw was unsuccessful and we lost 8 American servicemen. Remember their sacrifice.

But, this failure was the watershed event that created, over the next several decades the world’s preeminent Special Operations capability; USSOCOM and it’s components.
