Air Force Predator Team Deploys to Support Haiti
Let’s read something about Air Force life: Alpha Industries loves Air Force, and sells Air Force jackets and clothings… serving America.
CREECH AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. – Approximately 50 Airmen from the 432nd Wing here, along with RQ-1 Predator assets, deployed to assist 12th Air Force and Air Forces Southern officials with providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts in Haiti.
“The Hunters of the 432nd were called upon to provide a vital ISR capability to assist the people of Haiti,” said Col. Pete Gersten, 432nd Wing and 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing commander. “We always stand ready at a moment’s notice to carry out the mission at hand. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Haitian people and all those affected by this devastating earthquake.”

In addition to providing support to relief operations in Haiti, Airmen in the 432nd Wg and 432nd AEW continue to support overseas contingency operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“We save lives each and every day,” Colonel Gersten said. “Our no-fail 24/7 combat operations downrange will still continue as we must support the joint warfighter. However, we remain committed to providing assistance to Haiti.”

The same jackets with the brand of the three bars Alpha Industries are also produced for the civilian market. Its headquarter is in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. Alpha Industries is not like other manufacturers of military jackets or clothing, which, when placing clothing in military civilian market use materials of poorer quality and lower quality, using the finest fabric, thinner insulation, buttons and zippers less durable, and unlike Alpha Industries, using exactly the same labels. But the legendary Alpha Industries, at least in its production Made in USA (and this is what we’re talking about) made identical jackets for both the military and for the civilian market, and then they diversified with a distinctive label , containing three bars (one bar is the hallmark of life jackets available directly to the military departments, and three bars are the symbol of production for the civilian market (but still the same quality). If you find a jacket with Alpha Industries‘ label that contains three black bars that separates the label description from the specifications, this is a jacket Made in USA of high quality. Do not you let him get away.

[Translate]OUR BIG COMPANIES ARE POINTING TO CHINA
Who still thinks that companies today continue to produce “in house” as in the past, was mistaken and is out of step with the times. All major industries now do not give food to workers in their country.
I remember a case a few years ago, when the company whe I was working was about to buy a computer system of IBM. Also a representative of Olivetti (which at the time marketed computers),came and said candidly: “Buy Olivetti, so you will buy a “Made in Italy” and do good to our country.” Then I showed him the label of an Olivetti typewriter, which was written “Made in Japan”, while I knew (and told him so quickly) that some components of the IBM systems were made in Segrate, in Milan neighborhood, and Santa Palomba (There were produced all types of hard drives IBM). So think about how globalization has created chaos, a chaos that upsets all our beliefs, and what is worse, even our principles. As I said, all big companies do not produce anymore at home with costs that are much higher, but was directed at developing countries, with a strongly growing economy, and at the same time, production costs are much lower, mainly because of less restrictive rules, that do not force companies to adopt effective systems of occupational safety, electrical, air conditioning etc.
How many domestic companies do not produce here, but they are contributing to the development of Romania, China or Poland. Just think about the Fiat plant in Termini Imerese, which has already been sentenced to its final closure. Know why is closed? To transfer to Poland. So, there is nothing to wonder whether in China or in other emerging countries, the products are “our products”, that is what was done in our country until yesterday. We take as a second example the company “Alpha Industries”, the establishment of Knoxville in Tennessee, USA. This industrial giant, a supplier of the whole American Army, Air Force and Navy, since several years produces its jackets in China, Vietnam and Egypt. What are we thinking? The only sure thing is that these countries make quality products built to American standards, built on commission, they have to meet the quality standards of the manufacturer. And then resign to Polish Fiat cars and Chinese and Vietnamese Alpha Industries jackets.

[Translate]ARE ALL CHINESE PRODUCTS A “FAKE” ??
Now we are accustomed to this way of thinking, and when we see on some product “Made in China”, our reactions are basically three:
1) The eyes may start to shine because Chinese = low prices = savings, so we dive in buying.
2) We turn to the other side because Chinese = low price = low quality.
3) We are shocked because Chinese = copied product = FAKE!
As you noticed, in our response we don’t consider the possibility that the Chinese product (or Korean, or Vietnamese, to name some similar) can also be a quality product that we can trust and respect. Usually we buy these products because we can save money, and indeed we are preparing to a short duration and almost immediate problems, all inclusive in the price, even the calculated risk on the quality. We have not considered the fact that some major producer may choose to produce in China or Vietnam because it costs less, but the constructor requires the same quality specifications as for Italy or the United States. This is the case of the famous American company Alpha Industries, which now routinely produces in China, Vietnam and Egypt their flight jackets in the version intended for the civilian market. In fact, only the jackets for the U.S. military units are still manufactured in the United States. So today if you and I want to buy a jacket “original” Alpha Industries, we have to buy it with a label “Made in China or Made in Vietnam, or perhaps Egypt. I know that it may sound strange, but it’s the truth. Perhaps it is one of the effects of market globalization.
Otherwise we have a further possibility: to buy original jackets on Outlet Florence, which owns the largest European store of original American flight jackets, the ones that still belong to the U.S. production of Knoxville, Tennessee. If you can’t stand the Made in China …
