(Non-review guest article: Great intel on the basics of FR clothing)
Flame Resistance and Moisture Management in Comfortable FR Wear
Resisting flames and managing moisture – these are two capabilities at which your military wear should excel, so you can focus on the challenges in front of you without worrying about the clothes on your back. The fibers and fabrics that make up flame resistant (FR) T-shirts, undergarments, pants and head protection worn day in and day out aren’t like your normal cotton garments. The right, comfortable FR wear is specially designed, engineered and tested to withstand the everyday rigors of training and combat in any condition, whether you’re running through the heat of the desert or crawling through the mud with a load of armor on your shoulders.

Corps Strength - Book Review |
|
Friday, 30 July 2010 20:53 |

Clearly I don't read as much as I should hence there not being a perfect category on my site for this review; none the less I wanted to share one of my self improvement experiences. If I remember correctly Paul read my SWAT Basic article (likely got a good laugh) and was generous enough to offer to get his latest book out my way to help get in better shape. Paul Roarke, aka Master Gunz, is a former U.S. Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant and currently works as physical / leadership trainer which after reading Corps Strength brings a lot of insight on how he came up with the system and is great to see he continues to practice what he preaches. (Expanded Bio) Being 50 and still being able to smoke youngsters at PT says a lot to me about the results of his fitness concepts and proves long term sustainability.

I was able to get the crew back together and make it to Shot all the way down in Orlando. People actually friggn' scheduled this time to we were some busy mo-fos! As usual, wish we had more time to see all the great new stuff. Youtube fortunately has HD capability now so look for "Watch in HD" in blue text under the video interface.
I slacked photos pretty hard, but here is a quick dump gallery for those interested:

Figure Out Your Load-Out <LINK>
Hey all, it's Slim. I'm back from my trip and I know you're damned glad to hear it. Feel free to rejoice. Sorry to leave you here all this time with just Swingin' Dick to entertain and educate you, but even an action figure deserves a little time off. I've been defending democracy and keeping the world safe for sheep so long I honestly didn't know what to do with myself the first couple of days on the beach. Anyway, Richard and I are happy to introduce our latest Guest Blogger; MilSpecMonkey himself! If you don't know yet who is, then you haven't done much searching for gear reviews or morale patches. He's the guy that designed the Admin Pouch that MaxPedition sells, and he also came up with the Major League Sniper, Major League Doorkicker, Tactical Trunk Monkey and other "morale" designs. (Which, by the way, Richard and I sell in our store.) How's that for shameless self promotion eh? Anyway, the Monkey has kindly written up a basic guide for selecting the right kit to hump your gear. If you're a grunt or a snake-eater or whatever, you probably know a lot of this, but you never know when you can pick something new up and it's a good reference for boots and newer operators. So, here he is, the Monkey:

I brought more Army Game buddies with me this year to try and step it up a notch. I didn't do as many photos, but made a mean batch of product video demos for you guys. As usual the shotshow experience is awesome, yet extremely tiring. In true Vegas spirit, half my crew almost didn't survive the Surefire party. I wish the show had more days so I could spend more time checking out all of the great stuff there.

UCP SUCKS (Universal Camo Pattern) RANT |

UCP SUCKS (Universal Camo Pattern) RANT:
- For starters I have to breakdown all the acronyms just to make sure you know what the hell I'm talking about. UCP stands for Universal Camo Pattern which is the pattern that the ACU, Army Combat Uniform, uses. Other variants I've seen to aid in confusion have been: ARPAT, AUC for Army Universal Camo or Digital Army Pattern / Army Digital Pattern. Most gear companies label their UCP gear ACU since it is a term most people know. Although ACU is the name of a uniform and not a color, it typically gets the point across. In the spirit of being most correct, I will use the term UCP when referring to the actual camo color.
Now back to my spiteful article, my main grief is with the color of UCP and not the ACU design itself. There is plenty to debate on how it compares to the BDU, but take in all the plusses and minuses and I feel ACU is in the right direction. UCP isn't necessarily a bad camouflage, but it is not qualified to do what is asked of it. I will start the party off with the main ACU press release article to quote: <link>
