Introducing Deckers X LAB Tactical

November 15th, 2021

Deckers Outdoor Corp of Goleta CA, the parent of such brands as Hoka running shoes, Ugg Boot, Teva Sandals, and Sanuk, is introducing Deckers X LAB Tactical. Engineered in the Deckers Innovation Lab, the range of Deckers Tactical product takes over 30 years of developing cutting-edge footwear technology, now introduced in a high end range of military footwear.

The first introductions focus on 2 key areas; both land and sea.

The G8 model is an AR 670-1 compliant boot developed and tested with key SF units over the past 2 years. The G8 was worn by this year’s winner of the Best Ranger Competition.

The M4 model is a maritime assault boot that combines multiple technologies; a stretch knit water repellant upper with a climbing shoe rand for traction when climbing multiple surfaces, as well we key drainage ports for water evacuation. The M4 is fin friendly, fitting well into a fin pocket without squeezing your foot.

Both models use Vibram’s Litebase technology, a lighter rubber manufacturing method as well as using MegaGrip compound for the ultimate traction on multiple surfaces.

The G8 and M4 will be launched January 15, 2022 just before SHOT Show.

They can be previewed at www.dxltac.com

Airmen Interested in Learning Aviation Fundamentals, Becoming a Rated Officer Can Apply for Rated Prep Program Until Dec 2

November 15th, 2021

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) —

Active duty Air Force officers and enlisted personnel interested in becoming rated officers have until Dec. 2 to apply for the Spring 2022 Air Force Rated Preparatory Program (RPP), scheduled for March 20-25, 2022, and March 27-April 1, 2022 in Denton.

U.S. Air Force rated career fields consist of pilots, combat systems officers, air battle managers and remotely piloted aircraft pilots.

RPP provides qualified Airmen interested in cross-training to an Air Force rated career field the opportunity to gain and strengthen basic aviation skills.

“The Rated Preparatory Program provides a unique opportunity for officers and enlisted personnel to become rated officers,” said Brig. Gen. Brenda P. Cartier, Air Education and Training Command director of operations and communications. “Through RPP, qualified Airmen gain skills they may have not had the opportunity or resources to gain before entering the Air Force. We want to provide our Airmen the tools to pursue their lifelong dream of flying in the Air Force — a dream they may have never thought possible.”

Program participants will receive self-paced ground training, about eight flight hours in a Civil Air Patrol Cessna 182 Skylane, and additional training in Federal Aviation Administration-certified simulators — helping them become more competitive for rated selection boards.

“RPP has proven successful in improving students’ Air Force Officer Qualifying Test and Test of Basic Aviation Skills scores, which are considered at rated selection boards, by about 40%,” said Kathryn Gifford, AETC rated diversity improvement program analyst. “Of the 93 RPP students trained in fiscal years 19 and 20, 70 applied to the undergraduate flying training board, with 55 (78%) of applicants selected for a rated position.”

Airmen who can meet the requirements below are encouraged to apply.

Officer requirements:

Be of high moral character.

Obtain group commander (or higher) approval and endorsement (on application).

Take the AFOQT and TBAS to receive Pilot Candidate Selection Method initial scoring results prior to RPP. Then, retake the AFOQT and TBAS two-four weeks after completion of RPP. Note: The AFOQT and TBAS cannot be attempted more than three times total. RPP officials will provide an exception to policy for RPP graduates who require a waiver for retest intervals, and for those who have tested twice already.

Have less than five hours of total civilian flight time. Note: Applicants with greater than five hours of flight time will be considered on a space-available basis.

Prior to attending RPP, obtain the appropriate Air Force flight physical specific to the rated carrier field. For example, Initial Flying Class 1 for pilots.

Meet UFT board requirements post RPP in accordance with Air Force Manual 36-2100.

Review Civil Air Patrol-assigned study material prior to class start date.

Enlisted personnel requirements:

Must be under 33 years of age on March 20, 2022.

Prior to attending RPP, have or obtain a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university with at least a 2.5 GPA.

After completion of RPP, apply to an Air Force officer commissioning source at the next available opportunity.

Airmen interested in applying to the program can find additional information via the call for nominations on MyPers here (Common Access Card required).

For any questions, email AF.Rated.PrepProgramWorkflow@us.af.mil with “Attn: Rated Prep Program” as the subject line.

The Air Force RPP is led by Air Education and Training Command’s Rated Diversity Improvement Team, headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph and supported by Civil Air Patrol.

RPP is not a commissioning program, nor does it guarantee participants will be selected for an Air Force rated position.

SCUBAPRO Sunday – Adding Pockets

November 14th, 2021

Typically, when you are diving, you want to stay as streamlined as possible. It will help keep you on time and help you use less air. But sometimes you have more things to carry so you might need to add more storage. The major problem with pockets on your thighs or hips is the drag it will create. When these pockets are full, they add about two to four inches to your profile. You can wear your BDU’s, and that will add pockets to your legs and arms. If you chose to wear a uniform, I would recommend the Patagonia Jungle uniform. It is super light and dries fast. You can also add pouches onto your gear belt, or you can put one or two onto your rebreather straps. An old school M16 pouch is great for a spare mask or extra fin straps. You can cut the grenade pouches off of the sides to reduce the drag. Here are a few after-market pockets options that can help you streamline your profile without sacrificing your gear needs or altering your existing gear in any way.

SCUBAPRO HYBRID CARGO SHORTS form-fit to your body like you were born wearing a pair. On the underside of the nylon panels, a micro-plush interior makes the shorts warm and cozy. This fleece fabric absorbs less water, which keeps heat against the body, increasing overall warmth. They also dry quickly. They can be worn by themselves, over a wetsuit, or if you need a little more warmth, they are great for over dive skins in warm water. They are also useful for items that need to be at the ready or if you need to tuck something away while diving.

The SCUBAPRO Hybrid Cargo Pants are made from 1mm X-Foam neoprene for warmth and durable nylon for stretch and comfort. They have an adjustable waist belt that includes an easy-to-use male/female squeeze buckle closure. Abrasion-resistant fabric on the seat panel provides additional protection. Highly versatile they are great for water jump, over the beach operations or combat swimmer where you don’t need a think wetsuit, but you want all the protection a wetsuit would provide.

The SCUBAPRO Hydros Pro Cargo Thigh Pocket (full pocket with clips and straps) can provide the same storage as the Cargo shorts that capacity. Ideal for storing swimmer slates, lights, marker buoys, spare masks, compact cameras. Quick attachment via clips & thigh strap. The pocket has a large flap with a squeeze-style” side-release buckle closure. Bellow pocket design and large flap make access to stowed items easy and secure. The most significant feature is if you don’t need additional storage capacity, you can just remove the pocket for a more streamlined profile.

The SCUBAPRO Hydros Pro BCD Ninja Pocket is ideal for storing swimmer slates, lights, marker buoys, spare masks, compact cameras. Quick deploy when needed, roll-up when not. Pocket has a large flap with squeeze-style” side-release buckle closure. Bellow pocket design and large flap make access to stowed items easy and secure. All of the SCUBAPRO pockets are made from durable nylon fabric for strength and durability.

Another option is to glue pockets onto your wetsuit/ drysuit. This is way more permit, so make sure you get it right. You can do it yourself, but unless you have done things like this before, I would recommend having someone that has done it before showing you how to do it or have them do it. There are a lot of YouTube videos out there and articles about how to do this. There are pockets you can buy just for this purpose.

Click here to see a bunch of DIY instruction for gluing pockets to your suit.

SCUBAPRO Sunday is a weekly feature focusing on maritime equipment, operations and history.

– Nine packs of chewing gum
– One issue of prophylactics
– Three lipsticks
– Three pair of nylon stockings.

Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
