The First Female Navy SEAL

The U.S. is in the dark ages when it comes to utilizing women in the US Special Operations community. Female Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and Combat Controllers? Why the hell not? In all fairness, the Army beat us to it with the first female Green Beret Katie Wilder. Hard-line thinking coupled with fixed ideology gets […]

TF 160th: JSOC’s & The Worlds Best Pilots

Who’s flying the best SOF units into harms way? JSOCs TF 160th, that’s who.

When Senior Officers & CONOP Req.’s Get In The Way of Real Work.

This came in via the comms check and was just too damn funny not to post.  We’ve all been there regardless of what branch you’re from.

Sunday Reflection: Israel will Bomb Iran in 60 days or less

The war drums of Israel can be heard rumbling in the distance but the sound is getting steadily louder.  It has been heavily reported that Israel will strike soon but when?  Iran’s nuclear scientists are disappearing at a reasonable rate, but assassinating a few smart guys is not enough to satisfy Israel…and large precision bombs […]

SOF TV: ALLAH AKBAR!

When you’re cold and deep in the mountains there is nothing quite like starting a fire to warm the bones, and it provides a little entertainment.  There’s something primal and good about starting a warm fire, not that you can do this operationally, most of the time it’s sleeping boots on and gun at the […]

Act of Valor Exclusive: Silynx Communications C4OPS

How do a bunch of Navy SEALs shoot, move and communicate? With the help of some bad ass software defined communications accessories developed by Silynx Communications. I had a chance to catch up with the CEO of Silynx, Gil Limonchik this week and learn about the quality and detail that go into their communication systems. […]
