While it could be said that every unit which falls under the “special ops” umbrella is comprised of operators who can move, shoot, and communicate with lethal efficiency, different units developed to address specialized challenges.

To Hell and back: The 2019 Marine Raider Competition

On June 12, Marines from across the Marine Corps’ special operations units gathered in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to participate in the 2019 Marine Raider Competition. Six teams, each comprised of six spec ops Marines, competed for the glory of being awarded the title of best Marine Raider. The six teams hailed from the 1st […]

Gun control: The case of the ‘smart gun’

Could so-called smart guns be the solution to gun control and fewer mass shooting incidents? A new study finds that while there is widespread support for smart guns, the considerable additional cost and questionable efficacy demotivates people from purchasing such weapons. According to the study by Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, smart […]

Recon Challenge 2019: Sweat, blood, and pain for a noble cause

On May 16, active-duty and veteran U.S. Marines from units stationed around the globe gathered in Camp Pendleton, California, to participate in the annual Recon Challenge. The Recon Challenge is an endurance event that takes participants through numerous tests inspired by the Reconnaissance Marine training and operational history.

Looking for a durable but affordable knife? Check out the Buck Knives 110 Folding Hunter LT

Looking for a durable but affordable knife? Check out the Buck Knives 110 Folding Hunter LT

I often get caught up in the mindset that a great knife can only be found in the $100+ price range. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the Buck Knives 110 Folding Hunter® LT for less than $40 and discovered that it was worth more than the cost would indicate. It is light, […]

Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker: the complete sharpening system

Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker: the complete sharpening system

When I opened the package, I was initially a bit overwhelmed by the Spyderco Tri-Angle sharpening system – particularly by the detailed instructions – but I quickly learned it is really very simple to use. I think electric sharpeners and grinders are a great option but they can be a bit messy, while I found […]

LÜM-TEC Combat B37 24-hour watch review

The Lum-Tec Combat B37 was my first foray into a watch using only the 24-hour format, and it did not disappoint.  It is a simple but classy timepiece that has a subtle ruggedness to it. The B37 is limited to only 200 available for worldwide sale (each has a unique number on the case back), and at […]
