Friday, July 8th, 2011
With its mix of olive drab, coyote and khaki coloring, the G-Shock Military Play Set LE Watch looks very much like a tactical watch, and its ruggedness and large volume of features help to further this claim. The Military Play G-Shock is shock resistant, water resistant up to 200M, features a high-intensity LED and a large digital display area. Its powered by a CR2025 battery with an approximate life of 7 years. It can be programed to display up to four different cities’ times, from a list of 48 cities spanning 31 time zones, with city code display and full DST support. Additionally, this watch also features 5 independent alarms, a stopwatch that measures down to 1/100th of a second, a countdown timer that measures down to 1/10th of a second, and a full auto calender (pre-programmed until the year 2099). Of course, it can also display local time in either a 12 or 24 hour format that is accurate to within +/- 15 seconds per month.

Happy 4th From Blackheart International
Monday, July 4th, 2011
We received this in an email from Blackheart International and found it so sublime that we had to share it.
Order of the Undercollar
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011
When the ACU was adopted by the Army, the rank insignia was moved to the center of the chest and the officer branch insignia was eliminated from the utility uniform. Naturally, this didn’t stop officers from wearing their branch insignia, they just had to come up with some interesting ways of doing it. Then comes along, Order of the Undercollarâ„¢, a company founded to provide branch insignia that fits perfectly on the Velcro found under the collar on the ACU. That way, an officer can flash his buddies the high sign so they know who’s who. I can say one thing, they are honkin’ big so you won’t have any problems sorting lawyers and tankers. Not sure if they have a MultiCam version coming yet or not but they will do custom runs with a unit designator. Be sure to check out the HH6 patch as well in case she, or he for that matter, lounges around in ACUs.

Betsy Ross TD x SS Limited Edition Tee
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011What better way to celebrate the birth of our country than to sport a t-shirt emblazoned with the Betsy Ross flag. Considered America’s first flag, it’s basic design features of 13 red and white stripes to symbolize the original colonies that became states along with a blue field filled with stars to designate the current number of American states have survived the test of time.
When SSD and TD settled on the first three designs we knew that this one needed to be released before the 4th of July. The Betsy Ross shirt is the final design for the American Heritage series of t-shirts which are limited edition designs available in Black and Sand.

Field Gourmet – Full Metal Jerky
Friday, June 24th, 2011And old friend and one of our faithful readers sent us a heads up about Full Metal Jerky. He loves it so much that he says he won’t buy any other kind. We went looking for this spicy treat but it seems to be a Maryland brand. However, using their online map we found out that Extreme Outfitters carries the brand and it can be purchased online as well.
Even if we can’t try some of the jerky, when we found out that they had signed up with EmmeGirls modeling, we figured, what they heck, these guys deserve our support. But if that weren’t enough, Full Metal Jerky supports the troops. Show some jerky love. According to their website, Full Metal Jerky loves to send our troops free jerky.
“We are proud to support our troops and love to send them free jerky. To ensure only soldiers receive our offer, we have limited it to only APO or FPO addresses. Please fill out the form carefully and enter a complete and valid address.”
