Oakley is one of those “jack of all trades” brands. They are obviously known for their sunglasses, but they produce a ton of different products. Boots, gloves, and bags, to name a few. Oakley has been a huge advocate for the military community and offers a great discount to veterans and first responders alike through […]
A toiletry bag is a must-have if you are traveling. I’ve spent at least half of my military career living out of a bag, and having a toiletry bag was a solid morale boost. At the end of the day, it’s just something to hold your toiletry’s and maybe some meds, but the ease of […]

It’s 0’dark-whatever, and you’ve just been alerted that all civilians need to evacuate the city immediately; you cannot bring your suitcase, as it will slow you down and there is limited room in the evacuation vehicle.
