The LiftR is intended to be used in surface and subsurface operations, it is attached to existing combat equipment by slipping it on and over the shoulder straps and cummerbund of the operator’s plate carrier.
The LiftR is self-packing and modular to fit most brand’s plate carriers, while providing the appropriate amount of lift necessary to bring a diver/swimmer to the surface and float them in a face-up orientation.
We’ve often debated the perfect length for shorts here in SSD. I’d say, these are just right.

In light of DoD’s decision to open every career field to women, how will we transform former male-only jobs like Infantryman into gender neutral titles? Canada has had female Combat Arms personnel for years. They refer to theirs as Infantry Soldiers. On the other hand, the Australian Army still refers to their Infantry as Riflemen despite the integration of a handful of females. In both cases, females have preferred Armor, Artillery and Engineer fields over the Infantry.
Talk amongst yourselves.

In this video from 2014, technicians from Anniston Army Depot, Alabama and TACOM are performing the Modification Work Order upgrades from M4 to the M4A1 configuration on site at Ft Riley. The M4s will receive a new, heavier barrel, ambidextrous safety and a conversion from 3-round burst to full-auto fire. They can be seen moving along at a pretty good pace, upgrading about 300 Carbines per day. The extent of the MWO can be seen in the graphic above.
After the recent Domestic Terrorist attack in San Bernardino, our current administration believes that more gun control is the answer. These ignorant Democrats and Libtards have no clue when it comes to combating terrorism in the U.S. or abroad. Watching them water down our international prowess was laughable in the beginning, but it’s not funny to watch them dismantle everything we worked for in the Middle East just so Obama could say, “I ended the war in Iraq”. It’s not funny this administration could have sent a QRF to Benghazi, then covered up their lack of action. It’s not funny that they have been negotiating with Iran, the same country whose constitution mandates that all laws are based on the Koran. Women are considered un-equal to men under Iran’s legal code. It’s not considered “Radical” that women shouldn’t drive cars, can’t open a personal bank account or be allowed to go out in public without a male relative chaperone. Infidelity is grounds for stoning, homosexuals are hung and beheading is the penalty for leaving Islam. We don’t negotiate with terrorist, but it’s OK to negotiate with these savages?
We are not at war with Islam, but elements within Islam are at war with us. Until we recognize that Islam is not a religion of peace, there will be another 9/11, more attacks like Paris and San Bernardino. Gun free countries and gun free zones that display signs of their weakness will continue to be the perfect target; “Ignorance is Bliss” and sheep will always be an easy target for wolves.
Wake up America and vote out our weak leaders that want to disarm you and your ability to protect yourself. If they will not take the lead on combating evil how can you expect them to prevent evil from knocking on your doorstep?
