M10 Booker Combat Vehicle: The 'Light Tank' the U.S. Army Needs As part of this modernization process, the Army is adding the M10 Booker Combat Vehicle to its arsenal. Resembling a light tank, the M10 Booker will add firepower and maneuverability to the Army’s mechanized brigades. With the prospect of large-scale ground combat back on the menu, the Army is modernizing its arsenal. As part of this modernization process,

A whole Soldier approach- that’s H2F! Integral to that approach is the Spiritual Readiness component- the strength of self and soul that comes from knowing your life’s purpose, pursuing it with integrity and integrating that with the people around you. For people of faith, their religious virtues can drive SR. For people who are not religious, strong ethical reasoning can drive it. Either way, positive SR thrives on forgiving self and others, and on thankfulness.

In Military clothing it is found that camouflage fabrics have existed for more than 75 years and have become very popular from 1990, after the operation Desert Storm in the Middle East by US Forces with NATO Alliances. Today most of the armed forces, including army, navy, air force and paramilitary forces, are using camouflage fabrics, as this fabric increased the safety factor for each and every soldier and the nature of the fabric improved the comfort level and the roughness. It is predicted that total worldwide requirement of camouflage fabrics is more than 350 million meters annually. Military camouflage can be in the form of fabrics which is used for uniforms, protection suits, ballistic protection, tents, tarpaulins, backpacks or nets to protect assets. The essential items that are found in a typical US soldier’s backpack include the following: Sleeping bags Sunscreen Fire kits Medicine (usually inside the first aid kit) Compass Small flashlight Night vision gear Signal mirror Shelter Food www.ktcanada.ca

I’m ecstatically proud to have completed the Combat Infantry Course to take my place among 2 Royal Irish. A truly humbling course that tested me in every way imaginable. My takeaway which is entirely transferable to the workforce: a resilient mind that’s totally focused on the goal ensures a person that cannot be broken - come what may. Many bigger, fitter, stronger, and better men than me dropped off throughout the piece. In every situation, you need to have a ‘why’ and a desire to win. To civilian employers: this is what the Armed Forces Community brings to your organisation. Hire us. Invest in us. Trust us. Let us win.

Did you know? In the military, saying "I've got your six" means "I've got your back." 🤔 This phrase dates back to World War I fighter pilots, where "six" referred to the rear, or six o'clock position, of an aircraft. It’s a way to reassure fellow fighters that someone is watching out for them, offering comfort and solidarity in tough situations! . . . #IGY6 #igotyoursix #IGY6australia #wearehereforyou #veterans #veterancoach #lifecoaching #lifecoach #coaching #selfhelp #personalgrowth #ndisaustralia #ndissupport #disabilityservices #ndisready #ndisserviceprovider #independence #resilience #confidence #selfconfidence

Talking to an Airman today: "I used RANGER at (his last base) and it was fabulous." His current base will be getting RANGER soon and he's excited about the prospect. I hear this all the time, but it never gets old. Nothing excites me more than doing awesome things for the greatest folks in the world: USAF Maintainers. Plus, maintainers don't use the term "fabulous" a lot. So that's really saying something. This is because RANGER makes so many processes easier and better. It is good both for the mission and the persons who do the mission. It is designed for maintainers, by maintainers, and with the inputs of literally hundreds of AGE professionals at dozens of bases around the Air Force. We've supported over 60,000 real-world dispatches with the system, at multiple bases, in five different MAJCOMs, and more bases are coming on-line all the time. This is because the reality of it's awesomeness is coming to light. Every base should use RANGER. However, as long as Airmen are dragging around paper dispatch logs and wasting their time hand-jamming that stuff into databases, our job isn't complete. Help us out by getting RANGER for your base. Let us help you! Reach out for more details: harry.stone@stoneacftmx.com
