DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is recruiting veterans to bring a taste of home to warfighters downrange. The 123-year-old Department of Defense retailer is seeking veterans to deploy to fill various positions wherever the Exchange operates within Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. “When the Exchange hires veterans for downrange assignments, these former service members draw on the same strong work ethic, commitment and loyalty they used to serve our country,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted adviser. “Many already have served downrange and now they are able to give back, supporting troops on the front line.” No matter where America’s troops go, the Exchange goes with them. The Exchange operates 41 direct-run stores on 32 installations in eight Middle East countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, as well as on installations in Europe, such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria. This program supports the Exchange’s commitment to hire 50,000 veterans and military spouses by 2020. Veterans can look for jobs at ApplyMyExchange.com.
Many veterans already have the favorable security clearance needed to work downrange, which can save three to 15 months in conducting necessary background checks. Deployments with the Exchange range from six months to a year, with an option to extend up to two years. After their deployments, veterans are eligible to apply for other jobs with the Exchange. Leroy Elliott, a Vietnam War and Desert Storm veteran, has been the Exchange’s services business manager in Kuwait since August. Elliott served in the Marines and Army for 22 years. He also worked for the Exchange from 1993 to 2009. “The work is challenging and the days are long,” Elliott said. “It’s all worth it when we can bring a little bit of home to the men and women who are putting themselves in harm’s way and serving our country.”

Mission Spec (KS) has released the Gibborim Plate Carrier™. A lightweight, high mobility carrier that is ready to accept industry standard chest rigs such as Mission Spec’s own MagRack5™ or others.
The name of the game with the Gibborim Plate Carrier is “less”. “This has been a multi-year development and each new prototype became more and more simple. If you need 14 magazines, then this is not the carrier for you,” says Brent Keltner of Mission Spec. The design is meant to be as simple as possible but keep the rugged toughness and abrasion resistance of a high denier material. 1000D or 500D depending on your chosen pattern/color.
The carrier is excellent for mounted or vehicle operations. There are no plastic buckles up top to get caught or hung up on vehicle interiors. Shoulder strap adjustment is done on the internal areas of the rear plate bag. This gives the user an infinite adjustment for length and angle of the shoulder straps making it possible to fit an individual with broad or sloped shoulders.
Vertical PALS on the front along with loop Velcro sets the Gibborim Plate Carrier up to work with just about any industry standard chest rig that follows the standard buckle pattern.
The ‘wings’ or cummerbund does have traditional PALS webbing for attaching iFAK-like items but is located much higher than other carriers. This was done for two reasons; 1) to keep side mounted pouches from interfering with a user’s pistol draw or other first line gear, 2) in the even a teammate must drag the user by his/her carrier the cummerbund will help pull from under the arms instead of shoving the front plate into their throat or chin.
The front (male) side buckles can be moved to any one of two positions (heights) via the elastic retention anchors. This position impacts the ride height of the rear plate bag just like Mission Spec’s EC2™ and AC2™ plate carriers. With this feature the user can adjust the height of the rear plate by 2”.
100% design, tested, and manufactured in the United States, the Gibborim Plate Carrier is shipping now from MissionSpec.com (free shipping to a US address or APO) or other Mission Spec Authorized Dealers. As with most Mission Spec items, this carrier is capable of being custom modified to your unit or department needs.
