Special Forces Gear

"When someone speaks of the military, one of the first things that may come to a person's mind is the gear. From the uniforms to the shoes to weapons, each aspect of their gear serves a certain purpose that helps in making an efficient soldier. However, some apparel are no longer associated with just the armed forces. Combat boots have found their way out of the war zone and into daily use by civilians thanks to the many advantages it brings. The origins of the shoes can be traced to the time of ancient Romans, and have since seen many improvements on its initial design over time. Bringing the qualities that have worked for each incarnation of the footwear, modern manufacturers now have a standard design. Lightweight but still sturdy, they're perfect for soldiers and adventure seekers. And with a variety of colors available, men and women can enjoy a comfortable pair of boots for everyday use."

"TV shows and movies may have hyped up the zombie apocalypse, making many people dream up different survival tactics if the catastrophe hits. However, there are real life situations that could take place that would call for these tactics. Survival food is one of the most important things to have ready in case of such situations. Rice is a good source of carbohydrates and can keep for up to 10 years, provided that it's stored in a dry place. Beans and canned meat are excellent protein sources that could last up to 3 years. Having the necessary equipment to open cans and cook food is also vital. Emergency situations like earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and even war can leave a person without the basic comforts for a long period of time. Knowing what gear is necessary to have in order to survive could make the difference."

"Camouflage has been used in a variety of ways since the beginning of human civilization. One of the most popular uses of camouflage is for military uniforms, with its main goal being to hide a soldier and his gear from being seen by the enemy. Each branch of the US Armed Forces has a specific type of camouflage for their clothing, not only to differentiate between soldiers but also serving different functions. The US Army commonly uses the Universal Camouflage Pattern. The Multi-Environment Camouflage Pattern is used by the US Army in varying environments and light conditions. The Marine Pattern Uniform is used by the US Marines. The Navy Working Uniform comes in 3 variants, designated for use in woodland, desert or ship use. And lastly, the Airman Battle Uniform, which is a service-distinctive attire for the US Air Force."

"Anyone who's been in a wilderness survival situation knows that a survival knife is one of the most valuable things to have. While there are means to fashion a knife out of materials from the wild, it's still incomparable to the strength of a steel blade. Military surplus stores often have a wide selection for these knives and other survival gear, leaving one with the question of how to choose the best one. The most important part in the selection process is knowing what the knife is to be used for. While it will ultimately come down to personal preference, there are certain characteristics to look out for in choosing a survival knife. Those in need of a specialty knife need to look at the tang, the blade edge, the type of metal the blade is made of, and the knife handle before settling on a knife to buy."

A recent article reports that a ConVal Regional High School senior and future Marine, Brandon Garabrant, was prohibited from wearing his Marine uniform to his school graduation in lieu of the traditional graduation gown. While they understood why he wanted to wear his uniform for such an event, the school deemed that as it is, after all, a collective celebration of the Class of 2013, the uniformity of cap and gown would be more apt. The Marines usually have two sets of uniform, one of which is a utility uniform or cammies, for training and active deployment, and the other is the Marine Corps dress blue uniform, which is worn during the more formal occasions. Of the various US military uniforms, the dress blues of the Marines have had the least changes from their design. Though for military use, US Military Clothing are available in military stores like Special Forces Gear. They are made to meet the rigorous demand of everyday circumstances, as well as combat situations.
