We’re Back but Different

You may have noticed that there was no new content published to JTT for the last few months. The simple truth is that a few situations conspired together to force me to take a break.

Many of you know that JTT is not a job for me. I have never run it with the intention of making it a full-time gig. My “real” job has been taking more of my time and forcing me to take more careful account of where I spend the time outside of that work. I guess you could say I needed to change my priorities. That external pressure from work and other factors hasn’t gone away so things will have to change around here.

JTT is back but things will be different. Posting may be more sporadic. I have always tended to post about things that I’m into at that moment instead of what is most newsworthy but I’ll lean even harder into that. The way we accept advertising partners will change as I would like JTT to be even less beholden to anyone than it already is.

For those who sent notes inquiring as to whether I was still among the living, thank you. I appreciate that.

Memorial Day 2022

I was able to visit the National Cemetary where one of my grandfathers is laid to rest last month. As we quietly walked the grounds, I was thinking of not just my grandfather but all those others laid to rest there as I read the markers that surrounded us. While many of the stones represented older men and women who had lived long lives after their service, many were younger people who fell in the primes of their lives while in service to this nation. Being there, reading those markers, stirred a great sense of gratitude in me and my family.

It is for this reason that I almost always recommend on this day, that you take your family to a local war memorial. There is almost always one within driving distance in some town square or park. Read the names of the fallen and remember.

MISSION SPEC SEEKS TO REVOLUTIONIZE NIGHT VISION TRAINING

Today Mission Spec (KS) is announcing their newest endeavor into the tactical training space. Normally participating in the tactical gear side of the industry, this move into training products represents a break from the norm for Mission Spec.  “Fighting the Global War on Terror for 20 years has resulted in a paradigm that could have disastrous consequences. With the actions between Russia and Ukraine currently taking place it got us thinking about fighting in a near-peer conflict… again,” says a lead R&D director at Mission Spec.

All of this prompted Mission Spec to design, test, and [very soon] manufacture the DAY NOD™DAY NOD is just like your standard Night Optic Device except it does not enhance the user’s abilities in the dark.  That is because it is designed to operate only in the daylight.  With so much training conducted under NOD and at night you don’t want to let those skills and techniques go unused while out of the cycle of darkness.  A user’s peripheral vision and depth perception will be just as limited during the day as at night with the DAY NOD.

Forward thinking like this is the reason Mission Spec products and custom gear services are known for solving problems of the end user. Availability in Q4 2022 with an estimated price point of just slightly higher than traditional night optic devices.
