By Paul Carlson Posted in #Skills In order to load, unload and verify the condition of your Springfield Hellcat (or any other semi-automatic handgun), you have to be able to rack the slide. But what about those who aren’t strong enough to do that? Isn’t it impossible if your hands are too weak? I’m going to throw out a bit of a radical notion here: We always hear it’s a strength issue, but I think it has more to do with a little bit of uncertainty matched up with poor technique. Can you run your gun effectively?…

Since 2022, an Air Force mentorship initiative has been quietly revolutionizing how Airmen linguists transition from the foreign language classroom to fully operational linguists. By focusing on autonomous learning, the 517th Training Group at the Presidio of Monterey, California, has implemented a Global Language Mentorship program that has successfully narrowed a long-standing gap in the Air Force’s second-longest training pipeline. Historically, the transition for graduates from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s academic world to an operational unit was a point of contention. From eight hours of highly intensive instructor-led language learning per day, graduates would find themselves in…

The nature of warfare is in constant flux, and with it, the demands on military logistics. As the U.S. Army shifts its focus toward Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) and confronts the challenges of Anti-Access/Aerial Denial (A2/AD) environments, the ability to sustain dispersed forces becomes a principal concern. The Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) has emerged as a critical enabler for this new era, evolving from a simple accuracy-improver to a key component of the Army’s strategy for contested logistics and strategic mobility. This system, and its future iterations, will be instrumental as the Army continues its transformation, adapting its formations…

By Will Dabbs, MD Posted in #History Despite around-the-clock bombing by British and American heavy bombers, the Germans during World War II produced an ever-increasing volume of advanced military materiel right up until the end of the war. Even though they had terribly limited resources and were being squeezed on all sides, they still managed to field the first true assault rifle, genre-defining attack submarines, and surface-to-surface missile systems that the rest of the world would take a generation to best. However, what they really excelled at was jet airplanes. The Americans had the P59 Airacomet, and…

Blast From The Past – The Mojave Travel Shirt from Beyond Clothing We are reach by way back into the SSD archives for this one. In May of 2010 we first wrote about a “Travel Shirt” whipped up by Beyond Clothing founder Scott Jones in 2009. This “Travel Shirt” was originally a one-off that he made for himself. It is a waist length design with mandarin collar, chest and sleeve pockets made from a lightweight material. It almost has a Star Wars vibe. I harangued him about it and eventually he added it to the line up at Beyond. Now…
