Ops-Core Visit – A Trip Down Memory Lane

June 24th, 2014

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to visit Ops-Core’s new factory in Boston for a personal tour by founder David Rogers. I saw a whole slew of cool things but first, I thought you’d enjoy a glimpse at some of the items in their library.

The shelves in the lobby contain a variety of head protection items from a variety of sources, but the developmental Artisent and Ops- Core artifacts in particular, are awesome. In addition to a couple of OFW/FFW models there are also technology demonstrators with early versions of features that are now standard in Ops-Core helmets.

Look for additional coverage later this week.

Beyond Clothing – A-9 Shorty Mission Shirt

June 24th, 2014

This is really cool. I can’t believe no one has released one of these yet. Guys have been cutting their sleeves off for some time now but generally it ends up looking pretty ragged. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.

“Its kinda like a mission shirt but with short sleeves. We could get super technical and fill your heads with jargon, but we figure you know a thing or two about short sleeves. Its available shortly. Pun intended.”

Contact the Beyond Mission Project team for more details. www.BeyondClothing.com // Mission@BeyondClothing.com

Side By Side Look At Australian Camo

June 24th, 2014

This photo depicts (top to bottom) the new Australian MultiCam Uniform print, Crye Precision MultiCam and the old Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform print dating from the 80s.

It’s a good depiction of how AMCU is a hybrid which uses the Australian MultiCam Print pattern geometry developed by Crye Precision but integrates some of the more traditional DPP/DPCU colors.

Mudge Smash Monday – Everything ‘Tactical’

June 24th, 2014

It seems that word ‘tactical’ has become a bit over used, to the point that the virtual pitchforks and torches come out in a demonstration of outrage every time it pops up. Shoot, if you want to make Mudge really angry, just utter the word. In fact, he won’t even be able to read this story without that vein in his shiny forehead popping out. You may not survive if you ask him to read the word aloud.

According to Merriam-Webster, the adjective ‘tactical’ refers to:

Main Entry: tac·ti·cal
Pronunciation: \?tak-ti-k?l\
Function: adjective
Date: 1570
1 : of or relating to combat tactics: as a (1) : of or occurring at the battlefront (2) : using or being weapons or forces employed at the battlefront b of an air force : of, relating to, or designed for air attack in close support of friendly ground forces 2 a : of or relating to tactics: as (1) : of or relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose (2) : made or carried out with only a limited or immediate end in view b : adroit in planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose

I’ll leave it to you to come up with some alternative. Share your ideas in the comments.
