Professional Gear Reviews
The Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa Japan had to be one of my favorite deployments. Learning how to operate and survive in a jungle environment is vastly different than a desert or woodland environment. There are also threats native to the jungle that you must be aware of. I remember attending a […]
Pictured Above: Running a RHIB “wide open” in formation off the East Coast practicing launch and recovery from the “mothership” as well as chasing, evading and practicing small boat tactics for maneuvering against ships. Running a RHIB wide open RHIB’s are some of the greatest vessels to drive and honestly getting to ride/drive them every […]
The Loadout Room team is back from SHOT Show and mostly recovered. Looking forward to some new partnerships and new products showing up on our site. Once the dust settles from all the vendors getting back into the swing of things, we’ll be getting a steady flow of new products to show you guys and […]
Some people have all the fun. The guys over FullMag have a dream job. They get to fire all kinds of weapons, spend all day at the range, blow shit up and go home at night. And get paid to do it. They put together an awesome video of buying an old Land Rover “on […]

When the Mig-29 first entered into service with the […]
Earlier this year, the U.S. Marine Corps filed a solicitation to procure their own Russian Mi-24 Hind or Mi-17 HIP transport helicopter with one specific goal in mind: realistic preparation for a fight against Russian forces. Not just that, however, they also want a full contractor staff to support and operate the aircraft against Marines […]
Following much speculation, Sikorsky and Boeing have finally revealed their new prototype helicopter, which is vying to become the U.S. Army’s next utility helicopter. There are two contestants left in the Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, which will produce the next generation utility helicopter. Competing with the SB-1 Defiant is the Bell V-280 Valor. The Army […]
Today’s military is much more technology-based than in previous eras but while the high-tech gadgets make the soldier’s job easier and much more lethal on today’s battlefield, it also weighs them down more than ever before. The price of having the technology at their fingertips is that, while all of that gear works and is […]
I couldn’t tell you what content GQ features in their magazine, let alone what their abbreviated name stands for. Being that they aren’t my cup of tea, I was surprised to see them even come up on my newsfeed, but perhaps more intriguing was the short documentary they had just posted. Beneath the Ink features tattoo […]
