BROWE Inc has introduced their 4 x 32 Combat Optic (BCO) in both and A-TACS AU Flat Dark Earth to complement the Black version already on the market.
The BCO is “dip coated” in A-TACS AU which many will find effective for camouflage and will blend in with the finish of many weapons already coated in the pattern.
In the case of the FDE variant, they rely on a CeraKote “H” series thermal cured ceramic coating which is applied over the Bio Black Titanium anodizing.
You may not be familiar with the name Atlantic Signal but they have a long history of producing specialized communications devices beginning in 1989 as New Eagle. Additionally, they’ve worked with Peltor on headset systems.
The real heart of this waterproof headset is the bone conduction technology which allows the user to “hear” radio communications through the facial bones rather than the ear canals. This can greatly enhance the situational awareness of the user because the ears are uncovered and free to hear ambient sounds. Naturally, the downside of this is that the ears are unprotected. This is why Atlantic Signal integrated the CAE technology.
They’ve taken their popular MH180V bone conduction headset and integrated the US Military approved 4th generation COMBAT ARMS EARPLUGS. The CAE offers an advantage that the wearer can hear ambient low level sounds but through a passive system the CAE blocks high noise including vehicle noises.
The audio transducers which are part of the bone conduction technology are located inside the headset housings positioned in the front of the ears. Incoming radio transmissions are transferred to the transducers, then through the temporal bones of the face and received in the inner ear.
In order to customize the fit, the wearer can choose from one of four different lengths (S-XL) of vertical, stainless steel, head frames. Additionally, the CAE can be stored in a holster on the headset when not needed. This keeps them close at hand, out of the way, and (relatively) clean.
Here, Atlantic Signal shows their Gladiator V Headset with integrated Mil Spec hearing protection. In the video, they not only highlight the salient features of the headset but also show how it can be worn with several standard military helmets.
Units and agencies can procure Atlantic Signal headsets through ADS.
German language gear blog SPARTAN.AT took a couple of Seul Military Consulting‘s photos and broke them down detailing the equipment seen in each. It’s some of the best of the best including Crye and Ops-Core. A good translation of the title would be, “KSK Rolls With Crye”.
My favorite line is the last one in the article. “Ausrüstung am Boden aufgelegt: CAGE, BLAST-Belt und alles was gut und teuer ist. or Equipment put on the floor: CAGE, BLAST Belt and everything that is good and expensive.”

This catalog will give you a good idea of the advanced optical sensor technologies that Adams Industries brings to the table. They don’t just sell other’s products. Adams Industries integrates technologies into specific form factors. They are constantly adding new products so make sure you check up on their website regularly.
I don’t often fall prey to Internet memes but this own spoke to me. Finding its inspiration from WW II British morale posters, it’s been modernized a bit.
What do you think?
London Bridge Trading Company has launched a completely revised website. In addition to enhanced navigation, they’ve also released a few new products as well. Go explore!
The other day I was at the gym here on base (imagine that) and I noticed an overweight older man struggling with the cable rowing machine. Now normally I don’t bother anyone at the gym, but this poor guy’s form was so bad I thought that he might seriously hurt himself. So I went over to give him some help (disguised as small talk). After he caught his breath we struck up a nice conversation. He was new to the gym, having recently had a health scare and his doctor told to him he’d better “take charge” of his health before it got worse, so here he was. loafers, black socks, Bermuda shorts and all. Hey I give him a lot of credit, he was trying. So I asked him what his plan was. “Lose weight and get in shape” was his simple answer. “Well, I replied, How much weight do you want to lose, by when and what do you mean by, get in shape? Better yet what diet and workout routine are you going to follow?” To those questions he had no real answer. His somewhat confused response is very common, and one of the biggest reasons people fail to lose 
the weight they want and improve their health and fitness. No plan = No success. These things don’t just happen, you have to have a solid plan to follow and with that, long and short term goals to monitor your progress. In my book Corps Strength, I devote an entire chapter to planning. Trust me on this, Its important, and will take some thought to make it work. The famous Alabama football coach Bear Bryant once said: “I beat people with better teams than me all the time. Mostly because I plan better than they do.” So take some advice from the “Bear”, and before you lace up your running shoes, take the time to outline an effective plan to reach your fitness goals. A little planning will go a long way. Be safe and good luck!

We got a note from Shellback Tactical that their Cobra Riggers Belt has been used by the Broadway Show ‘Spider Man – Turn Off The Dark.’ Here’s what Mike, the head honcho at Shellback told us. It’s interesting to see how tactical gear can be placed into other uses. It’s also good to see people outside the tactical industry appreciate American made quality.
I have received several orders from them and decided to look into it. I spoke to there stage manager over there and verified it with him. He was pleased to know that it was US made and did not realize it.
Interesting Info- Off the subject of Tactical for a minute- We recently discovered that our Shellback Tactical Cobra Buckle Riggers belt with Austri Alpin Buckle is being used behind the scenes of the Broadway Show Spider-Man Turn of the Dark. It is being used by the production crew/Stagehands to tie in when working while setting up when a Class 3 harness is not needed. We thank them for using our gear- It is nice to see a production such as this supporting Small Business- An American Company and USA Made Gear.
