Are You a BAMF?
Sunday, November 10th, 2013Magpul Calendar Shoot 2014
Saturday, November 9th, 2013From our friends at Magpul.
For this year´s calendar, we opened up the armory and hired the best in the fashion industry to push the boundaries a bit of what is expected for a Magpul Calendar.
To be honest we weren’t too sure how it was going to turn out, but as the photo shoot progressed we started to realize that this calendar was something special.
The guns looked good and the girls looked great, but there was a sophistication to the photography that had broad appeal beyond the regular “girls with guns” calendars we had done in the past.
From a gritty warehouse shot in a shady part of town with the Ronin Motorcycle to an ultra modern house with backlit plastic walls, all the photographs were shot on location. No studio shots with added backgrounds were used in this Calendar.
Even the cover photo, our model wearing a designer dress while holding a vintage 1921 Colt Thompson sub machine gun, actually walked down a closed off downtown Dallas street to get the shot.
The result is a calendar with some unexpected visual and artistic elements exhibiting the Magpul touch, presented in a package with broad appeal with timeless iconic photography.
Part Art, Part Calendar, All Magpul.

2014 Magpul (12 Month) Calendar preorders will start shipping Nov 14, 2013
This year a portion of the proceeds from the calendar will go to the USMC Reconnaissance Foundation. The foundation provides assistance to wounded Reconnaissance Marines and Marine Reconnaissance families. Last year´s calendar raised over $20,000 for charity. Magpul hopes to far exceed that amount this year.

50,000 Boy Scouts March On New York
Sunday, November 3rd, 2013That’s 50,000 Boy Scouts at the 1939 World’s Fair. As many of you know I am a Scout leader. I love to find bits of Scouting history and share them with my readers. I know of no better leadership program for America’s youth than the Scouting program.
This is a rare, color movie of Troop One, Flushing, New York, at the 1939 World’s Fair, escorting “Uncle Dan” Beard. Beard, ever the showman, was wearing an all-white Scout uniform with his National Scout Commissioner insignia. Ernest Martin, an early Scout professional, is with Uncle Dan. Other figures appearing in this clip are Dr. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive and J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the F.B.I.

KOTA Longboards
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013I know you saw the title of this post and started scratching your head. Trust me, it all fits together. First off, before I go any further, I want to say that KOTA Longboards is a Veteran owned business. Second, these guys are thrill seekers, just like you. Which leads to the heart of the matter; I know some of you guys ride longboards to keep a little bit of adrenalin in your downtime. Consequently, I thought I should tell all of you a little about KOTA Longboards, especially after I shared one of their videos last night in support of the CFF Indiegogo campaign.
KOTA Longboards was founded by a F-14 Tomcat pilot and TOPGUN graduate along with a Combat Wounded former Force Recon Marine in May 2012 with the mission to offer a broader action sports demographic, a high performance, sophisticated style longboard. They hand craft their decks in Denver, Colorado using Hard Rock Maple from Wisconsin. And their designs are awesome.
The culture of the company is honor, integrity and esprit de corps. Even the company name is related to the military. ‘KOTA’ comes from ‘Knights of the Air’ which is a WW I term for aviators. And this company is rife with aviators. So much so, even their legal disclaimer is borrowed from the U.S. Navy LSO School, ‘Rectum Non Bustus’ – which loosely translated means, ‘Don’t Bust Your Ass’. Ride hard, have fun, be safe.

In order to move the primary art surface to the top of the board, they’ve developed a proprietary clear, gloss grip finish that eliminates the need for any grip tape.
Notice I mentioned that the company was founded by Veterans? Well they remember where they came from. Veterans receive a 10% discount everyday.
The Story Of ‘Keep Calm And Carry On’
Tuesday, October 29th, 2013By now you’ve certainly seen the ‘Keep Calm and Return Fire’ patches and T-shirts we turn out but what some of you may not know is that the whole ‘Keep Calm’ phenomenon finds its genesis in and unused bit of British WW II propaganda.
