We know that the Secretary of the Army signed off on the Army Camouflage Improvement Effort earlier this week and at yesterday’s media roundtable hosted by PEO Soldier BG (P) Peter Fuller, he stated that it would be released today. So, the question is, what time and how will the delays affect the timeline? In the big scheme of things these few weeks are really pretty minor. Rather, industry’s concern is if they will still have as long as was originally mentioned to complete their submissions.
On another camouflage note, look for the phrase, “befowled globe” to rear its head soon.
G4TV, the video game network is sponsoring Operation Instant Jolt. The idea is to send some decent coffee to our troops deployed overseas, and apparently the concept was inspired by the video Combat Coffee 101 featured here on SSD a few weeks ago. Ahhh, the power of the internet. They are asking for the public to send instant coffee to:
Operation Instant Jolt c/o G4TV
5850 W. 3rd St. #155
Los Angeles, CA 90036
They are accepting instant coffee until May 1st, 2011 so get those packages in ASAP!

In his latest installment, MGySgt Paul Roarke USMC, (Ret) discusses the proper mental attitude to help set the stage for success.
I get emails all the time from people asking me if my PT system (www.corpsstrength.com) will help them get in shape and lose weight? The simple answer is yes, and that isn’t just a sales pitch, but a fact that’s been proven by hundreds of people over many years. However before you tie on your sneakers, or do one pushup you have get one thing right or I guarantee you won’t reach your goals; your thinking. Now this might seem like a simple thing, I mean who doesn’t want to get in shape, lose weight, be healthy and look good? Everybody right? Well the sad fact is that when it comes to fitness, there is a big gap between what people want and what they end up with. I am convinced that this problem is caused by one thing above all others, the wrong thought process. It’s the reason that I devote an entire chapter in my book to planning. In my experience the success or failure of any fitness routine is 90% thinking, not sets and reps. You need to know how to set realistic goals, remove excuses and set up a workout routine that will support you, your goals and YOUR life, not the other way around. This isn’t rocket science but it does take some thought and common sense and I don’t believe in short term fixes, but long term solutions. That in itself is hard for many people to understand. As we say in the military “Tactics win Battles, but Logistics wins wars”.
Get your Logistics squared away and your Tactics will have a much better chance to be successful. I guarantee it, worked for me for over 30 years.
The Mad Duo went to see “Hannah” this last weekend. Their verdict? Well, you’ll just have to go find out.
It’s going to kickoff at the Pentagon in a few minutes and we will live tweet as best we can with follow up articles here on Soldier Systems Daily. You should also expect coverage over the coming days from KitUp! as well as Military Times. The is BG Fuller’s final press conference as PEO Soldier and we bid him a fond farewell. Lots of stuff has happened on his watch.
Make sure you get your entry in before tomorrow morning at 1200 GMT. Your entry doesn’t have to be computer generated. Take a couple of cans of krylon to an old bed sheet and take a photo of your handiwork if you don’t have computer skillz. The winner will be determined by a popular vote of your peers (kind of like how UCP was chosen, except there was no vote) next week. That $500 gift card to the winner from GSS is sounding pretty good.
Check out the full rules here.
Jeanette Kozwolski at Tactical Gear Blog caught up with Dan Bergeron, tactical gear designer extraordinaire. It’s a great read, and offers good insight into Dan and his perspective on design and the industry in general. I have known Dan since his days at Arc’teryx and I have to say that this is a must read.
