Australian's go YAT-YAS

For the uninformed it means if "You ain't Tracks- You ain't Shit"

NOTE:  There are alot of Australian Uniforms attached to the Combat Assault Battalion for this exercise.  You can blow it off and state that its just a one off but I beg to differ.  I'm seeing a concentrated effort by the Australian Army to develop a group of amphibious experts...following the US method of operations.  Remember they could have easily partnered with the British Royal Marines and developed a commando type force but haven't.  This is good news for both forces.  Also.  Isn't it time for a new Crewman Helmet?  John says they already did it.  Good.

Wow. They're starting to prep in Europe.

When a once underground 'movement' becomes mainstream and global then you know that somethings afoot...



Its kinda funny in a way.  FEMA has been posting preparedness recommendations...once a three day kit, it moved to fourteen days and is now back to three...

But many Americans...especially in big cities are so dependent on external means of food preparation/supply that they use their kitchens for clothes storage....and now we have some Europeans getting into prepping.

Interesting.  Someone's wrong and only time will tell who that is.

Elements of Power is about to get medieval on Smallwood!

Check out his latest here.  Damn.  No mercy at all.  LOVE IT!

The free market strikes at Wally World!

$1067 for a Colt AR?  Damn!  That's a good price! What's even more interesting is the fact that Google has banned all advertisement for weapons and weapons accessories but WalMart goes in the opposite direction after having a ban for a couple of years.

Don't believe it?  Click here.  Huron Serenity will be wanting to protest!  He will but I'm just messing with him this time...all in fun Huron!

Office of Security Cooperation - Iraq

Two U.S. Embassy helicopters carrying members of The Office of Security Cooperation - Iraq land in Tikrit, Iraq, June 9, 2012. OSC - I in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy - Baghdad, the government of Iraq and international partners, conducts security cooperation in order to support Iraq's continued development into a sovereign, stable and long-term self-reliant strategic partner that contributes to peace and security in the region.

Hmmm. 

Iraq.

I'm gonna have to check and see if they have any contractor positions open.  Big Army and Marines are gone.  Its mostly run by the State Dept and its a Joint Command base...yeah that place sounds cherry.  Time to check in with some of my boys at Triple Canopy, G4S or Lockheed Martin Security to see if they have any details opening up!

Battleground. Keeping military history alive.

Don't pause.

Don't wait.

Don't hesitate.
