F-35C flying a more comfortable ball

Combat Doc talks eye protection.

Quite honestly I've been waiting for someone to do a run down on ballistic eye protection.  To me at least its about everyday safety.  The modern world is a hazard place, your eye sight is precious and I want to know what works so I can keep me and my loved ones as safe as possible.

Think I'm a bit overboard?  How about the aftermath of car accidents?  Construction accidents.  Chemical splatter (and I'm talking about something as simple as outside bleach) and even debris from cutting your grass.  Ballistic protection that works is important.  And that's even before we start considering what guys going down range are facing.

Eurcocopter X3 and Airbus A400M in flight

Eurocopter handled the US tour of its X3 badly.  I guess its another example of a large corporation that has little experience with marketing its products to the American people.  Quite honestly it didn't even get that much play in the aviation media. Consider this a missed opportunity.

Every pic I've seen of SEALs lately shows them sporting SCAR-17's.  Is that the new weapon of choice?
