Rite in the Rain had a new target from The National Target Company which is printed on their waterproof paper. The 19.5″x40″ target is pretty straigh forward. It’s waterproof so it won’t become mush in the rain. You can write on it, even when the surface is damp. Available in the full rectangular version here or a die cut version of just the outline of the target with no margin.

I’ve been using the Ops-Core Skullcrusher for many years when I require Night Vision but I don’t need a helmet, for example, while hunting. It’s much more comfortable than the old headsets issued with the PVS-7s and 14s because it is well padded and offers several points of adjustment. Additionally, it incorporates rails at each side and has accommodation for a counterweight.
Recently, they updated the design by no longer molding the shroud plate directly into the Skullcrusher but rather offering a three hole design that will accommodate their mount or three hole mounts from other companies such as Wilcox.
I wanted to remind everyone of the Marine issue sling by Blue Force Gear. The Coyote version of the Vickers Combat Application Sling seen here has NSN 1005-01-604-0627 and is part of the BII for the M27 IAR. It is paired here with the M-16 Buttstock Adapter NSN 1005-01-609-5088.
ADS Inc had Big Ass Solutions in their booth at Marine South. This model is the 6-1/2 foot tall Black Jack which is impressively quiet considering it’s, well, a Big Ass Fan. The variable blade speed Black Jack is mounted on wheels and has a 25′ cord. This chart gives you an idea of what kind of air movement you are seeing.

When I joined the Army in 1985 this chevron sole design was the issue combat boot for the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. Just a year later they started issuing a slightly upgraded model but this one was worn by soldiers throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s. Did you ever wear them?
This video from the Chicagoland Skydive Center is amazing. What an opportunity.
Thanks to my favorite Weather guy, Brett S!
This video from Realm of History describes the unit structures of the Roman Army. It’s very interesting if you’re a history buff like me.
