TAPS are formulated to stick and stay on almost any surface and guaranteed to work on all touchscreen devices.

The Vantage Point by Vantage Point, LLC is a versatile, modular system for Go Pro cameras that centers around an action camera plate.
The plate can be mounted either to Vantage Point’s modular harness system, or to any MOLLE/PALS-compatible attachment system, providing wearers with an optimal location to shoot POV or action footage.
Adding to the versatility of the mounting plate, straps can be utilized to mount the plate and camera to stationary locations, such as on a tree branch or pole to take advantage of a specific view angle.

This isn’t just a hat like we showed last time, this is the entire uniform for a Four-Star General, forward deployed, in a combat zone. These are unaltered DoD photographs and the shading problem is obvious next to the other uniforms.
The Army has got to get this printing locked in. Of course, they wouldn’t have this problem if they’d have just kept using MultiCam.
The great folks at Badger Ordnance have donated an M40A5 rifle to the Recon Sniper Foundation which will be raffled to raise funds.
Recon Sniper Foundation is a registered 501C3 made up of mostly Recon and Scout Sniper Marines. They mostly provide emergency assistance to Veterans in need and most recently provided some much needed support to the Louisiana Flood victims. They’re a great foundation that helps some great men and women. They have no celebrity face of the charity, no cool guy t-shirts, and keep their financials publicly viewable on their website. Please help them out and get a raffle ticket.
