This dry suit is is low impact. None of the bulk, straps, or pockets on those worn by most boat crews and there’s padding in the all right places. It provides the same level of protection as the traditional suits, but allows the wearer to move normally and let a little cool air in when [...]
If the Coast Guard 2010 Authorization Act is signed, the Department will add 30 new CEDTs to the USCG by 2012 and each dog will need a handler. If you’re interested, it’s a good deal for all E6 and below selected for the program. Explosive detecting dog, vehicle, and SDAP included. See the CEDT in [...]
Computer based training for precision marksmanship with the M14T and M240B. If I had access, when I wasn’t in the air practicing or shooting out outboards on a case I’d be in the room with this thing.
Scalable Display Technologies announced that it has completed the installation of the EasyBlend software for the U.S. [...]
This article comes from a blog called The Truth About Guns and documents how the author, Patrick Carrube, trained himself and others to easily transition from the Sig Sauer’s Double Action (DA) first shot to later Single Action (SA) shots. He argues that although the Sig’s 10 lb DA pull will not produce the accuracy [...]
What’s the best camera for the marine environment? After reading this Associated Press article, I’ll go for the Nikon Coolpix L18 with underwater housing. The L18 model survived an 1,100 mile ocean voyage submerged and even fought off a sea turtle while recording.
Coast Guard Investigator Paul Shultz came across the red Nikon L18 [...]
One of my favorite things is getting to check out some of the newest gear and supplies made specifically for military/LEO personnel. Next month I will be attending the 2010 ADS Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach. What is ADS you ask? Well:

As USCG units complete their transition from the M9 Beretta to the Sig Sauer P229R DAK it’s only right to study the sidearm that will now be standard throughout the service.
So far I know there are tons of mixed reviews with the SIG. Some like it, some love it, and lots of you flat out hate it. Next week I’m going to steal a article from PO1 Null and post it on here about the weapon itself, but did any of you ever wonder what [...]

Hello all. Hope everyone is doing well. One huge problem we come across every week is the storage, maintenance, and upkeep of the most important piece of LE gear you have: Body Armor. We have seen it all. Most recently was rolled up and stored in the bottom of one guys locker. Not good. The [...]
I figured since we now are exclusive to Sig Sauer as the provider of our PDW, why not go ahead and ditch the ancient and mishap heavy M-16 for the new SIG716 rifle. Is there a chance that it would happen? No, but it would be nice. Maybe they can just give us all the [...]
There are hundreds of boots out there for us to choose from. Recently I have seen more and more folks sporting these bad boys and I can’t blame them. I bought my first pair back in 2005 and these things lasted me for a long time. I remember when I first started wearing these boots, [...]
