Eagles and Angels Limited – Men’s Fashion Cut from the Cloth of Heroes

June 7th, 2016

In a nutshell, Eagles and Angels Limited is Veteran owned and takes donated uniforms from folks who served and turns them into high end men’s fashion accessories. Everything is Made in the USA. Even better, 10% of the proceeds go to military charities.

Founder Tom F has started with a pocket square, something every man can use and has expanded to other items like remembrance ribbons. For a Veteran, or someone who supports our military, these can be a small symbol of what we hold dear and with Father’s Day coming up, E&A might have just what you’re looking for.


Make a statement. Support our veterans. Share their story.

Tactical Tailor Announces New Members OF R&D Team

June 7th, 2016

Tactical Tailor is proud to introduce the newest members of our Research and Development team, Avery Kerr and Dave Hannah. Both men come from extensive military backgrounds and know a thing or two about how military gear works.

Avery originally hails from Santa Barbara, California. At age 20, he joined the Army, where he served with the 2nd Ranger Battalion. He went on to become a part of the Oregon National Guard and served as a scout sniper in 1-162 Infantry. He deployed to Kuwait in 2003 and then served as a supply sergeant, training NCO and Readiness NCO for 11 years. Upon leaving active duty, he sought to design and build gear of his own, for similar reasons that sparked the creation of Tactical Tailor – to better innovate the gear that he was using. This led him to Tactical Tailor’s R&D department, where he now gets paid to do it.

When asked about his past and his new position in Tactical Tailor, Avery said, “The battalion helped me become the person I am today, and I look forward to doing great things at Tactical Tailor in the future.”

Dave Hannah also served in the United States Army, most of it with 1st Special Forces Group. Of course this means that Dave is a little shy bragging about his accomplishments, but we managed to drag out of him that other than being part of 1st Special Forces Group, he also earned his Airborne wings, Ranger tab and became HALO qualified. He also spent time as an MPC K9 handler as well as a Senior Communications Sergeant. Needless to say, he is another major asset to the Tactical Tailor team and has quite a bit to bring to the table.

In keeping true with his sense of humor and secretive nature, Dave was quoted saying, “There’s a snake in my boot!”

Tactical Tailor is excited to see what Avery and Dave’s extensive military experience will bring to the table when it comes to designing quality, American made tactical gear. For Patriots By Patriots continues to be more than a slogan, but an actual mission to better serve those who directly rely on our products.

Don’t Confuse Enthusiasm With Capability

June 7th, 2016

There’s a old adage in Special Operations, “Don’t confuse enthusiasm with capability.” I heard it used a lot over the years and was told it stemmed from the ill-fated Operation Eagle Claw, where an ad-hoc task force made up of different service capabilities was created to attempt the rescue of American hostages held by Iran. Truth be told, it’s probably even older than that. The point is, you can call yourself special all day, but that doesn’t mean that you are. With the Iran mission, everyone wanted a piece of the pie whether they were ready or not and the mission failed. Although the lessons learned from that mission led to the eventual creation of USSOCOM, don’t think this idea is solely the purview of SOF. It doesn’t matter what you do, or where you fit in the food chain, it’s  applicable to everyone.

In more recent times, there were many new organizations stood up within DoD after 9/11. They were specialized in nature but not necassarily in capability. In each case, they were weighed in measured by the war. Some matured, others disappeared. The concept of enthusiasm being tempered by capability is an inescapable crucible.

Generally, SSD readers are a cut above. They care about their profession, or interest, and choose the best equipment. Others go a step further and seek out training to improve their capabilities. That is the sign of a true professional. However, such positive traits are not going to be true of everyone in an organization. We are truly as weak our weakest link and we all know someone who is all show and no go. Do not let them define you or your unit and don’t make promises you can’t deliver on.

Everything we do isn’t awesome. Accept criticism and reflect on it. That’s a trait of maturity. If you’re thin skinned, you’ve likely got maturity issues and aren’t very good at what you do. As an aside, don’t take criticisms of your profession in general, or of others in your profession personally. Every profession has plenty of room to improve. However, do deliver constructive criticism to your peers. Use it to grow professionally and personally and encourage others to do so as well. Make things better.

There is a current notion that everyone is a winner and gets a trophy. We must stop this concept from poisoning the profession of arms. Not everyone is going to be an Operator and we don’t need them to be. Figure out what it is you are supposed to do, and be awesome at it, both individually and collectively.

This isn’t meant as discouragement. To the contrary. Love what you do. Create enthusiastic capability and make sure that you can deliver on demand, no matter the job. Help others rise to the same level.
