www.modamilitare.com

Hi, My name is Federico Scatizzi, I live in Prato and I created the site www.modamilitare.com in order to sell not only the mythical flight jackets Alpha Industries Made in USA but also other lifestyle brands in the military, like Corinth MFG Made in USA, Union Industries, Desert Storm, NFL – NBA, German military clothing, items for Italian Air Force, jackets, patches and more.

How did I get here? I remember the beginning of my career, and I am thinking back over the road that led me to sell military items around the world. As a matter of fact, on tmy web site I wrote something about it. At the beginning of the story (once upon a time…), I was lucky enough to find a friend, that owned a store full of original military items, which are practically impossible to find elsewhere (in my opinion, some are just unique or very rare). I discovered probably the largest stock of products Alpha Industries “Made in USA” in the world! And from there, the path of Alpha Industries started in Italy and Europe.

You can imagine my joy when I saw that all items in the warehouse were (and still are) absolutely brand new and that they were strictly produced in the United States. These items are reserved for true connoisseurs and true collectors. So I thought that to sell them to friends … then I had a new idea, that is selling using an online store. Even if my friend’s store is large and well stocked, some pieces, colors and sizes are now being phased out.

Therefore, in the case of depletion of some articles, I will notify you via e-mail. And then periodically I will arrange special offers. Indeed, at the opening of the site www.modamilitare.com I thought I’d do something really special, so I reserved for you a discount coupon that brings you a discount of 15%, but only until 31 March. So I suggest you take advantage of it immediately. Here is the coupon, as follows: UTKosP0V

I also thought of doing something for the real unique pieces that I have in stock. Maybe an auction, a contest, I will find a way. These unique pieces are jackets also sold online at 500$, 1000$ even 2000$, because they are the rarest, probably you will find them only here. But that’s another story … I’ll talk later about that. I really want customers like you, and I want to inform you about every event I will arrange for you. I recommend you to receive our newsletter, informing about news and updates on these great products. So if you wish to, you should subscribe to our newsletter, You should look at the bottom of our home page, searching for a box titled “Newsletter”. It ‘just give up your e-mail and press the button “Subscribe”. If you then change your mind, you can unsubscribe whenever you want. However, for now I would like to invite you to exploit this great opportunity and take the advantage of the discount that I have reserved for you. Use this coupon at once: UTKosP0V.

My best wishes.

BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – “Gentlemen, start your engines.”

This familiar call is one many NASCAR fans hear each weekend as they watch their favorite drivers compete for the checkered flag.

Yet, at Beale Air Force Base, a special chase car’s pursuit down the flightline, tailing a U-2 reconnaissance aircraft at breakneck speeds, would leave any NASCAR fan screaming for more.

“The job is awesome,” said Maj. Luke Lokowich with the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron. “You get to go 110 miles per hour every day, and (the U-2 is) the only aircraft in the Air Force that has (a person in) a car driving behind it talking a pilot through a landing.”

Not all pilots can chase a U-2 down the runway at speeds of 110 mph.

“First of all, they have to be a U-2 pilot (because) they have to understand what the person in the aircraft is going through,” Major Lokowich said. “When the U-2 pilot is up there in his pressure suit, everything is exponentially more difficult and the simple act of opening a checklist can be extremely difficult and time consuming.”

For the most recent Air Force headlines, visit the Air Force News Channel on Military.com.

The chase car driver provides the pilot with an extra set of eyes and ears on the ground as he or she talks the pilot down from a high-altitude sortie.

“In many ways, it’s just a second crew member, a co-pilot in a single-seat aircraft, able to perform emergency checklists for him, work problems at ground speed zero where you have more time, more resources and more time to devote to any emergencies.” Major Lokowich said.

The U-2 is regarded by many as one of the most difficult aircraft to land and maneuver. By having another U-2 pilot on the ground after a long, high-altitude mission, it’s reassuring for the pilot in the cockpit to know that a fellow aviator has got his back.

“(You come) back from a long mission flying for nine or 10 hours, you are going to be tired (and) stagnant, and your visibility is really hindered in the suit,” said Maj. Pete Van Pelt, a U-2 instructor pilot. “Your ability to feel, your dexterity and couple that with the fact this plane is really difficulty to land on a good day, it’s really nice to have an extra set of eyes outside the airplane during the landing phase.”

During normal missions, the chase car driver, or mobile driver, is responsible for more than just ensuring a safe landing at the end of a long operation. He preflights the aircraft while the mission pilot is getting suited up and he also monitors the weather and provides help in emergencies.

“The plane can be a handful if you have problems,” Major Van Pelt said. “It’s nice to have somebody else read the checklists to you, communicate things to folks on the ground for you.”

Although U-2 pilots race down the runway in high-performance automobiles chasing the aircraft at speeds that would land hefty speeding tickets, they know their job ensures the success and safety of every U-2 sortie.

“It’s a vitally important job to ensure the safety of the flyer and the aircraft, and that is first and foremost,” Major Lokowich said. “(They) don’t have to be up in the aircraft to be an important part of the mission. Just like the maintenance team, the backshop specialists and crew chiefs, (who) are all absolutely crucial to the success of a U-2 sortie, the mobile is just one more aspect of that.”

Check this post Bar Rafaeli diserta il servizio militare, l’esercito chiede il boicottaggio from Modalizer:

Non è la prima volta che la bellissima modella israeliana subisce aspre critiche sul suo passato di disertrice del servizio militare, che nel suo paese è particolarmente rigoroso: 3 anni di servizio per i maschi, 2 per le femmine.

Sembra che Rafaeli abbia trovato un escamotage che le ha permesso di eludere la leva organizzando un finto matrimonio che le ha garantito l’esonero da sposata.

Il comandande del Dipartimento Risorse Umane delle forze armate ha invitato a boicottare i prodotti pubblicizzita da Bar Rafaeli.

Questioni ideologiche che non mancano di aspetti speculativi: La giovanissima modella Esti Ginzburg ha sempre fatto del suo impegno nel servizio militare una bandiera d’orgoglio personale e molti credono che quest’antagonismo sia nato per oscurare l’immagine di Bar.

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Mentors touch our lives and help shape us into the people we are today. We value mentorship in the Air Force and both develop it in our subordinates while seeking it from our supervisors.

I like to think that one cannot have enough mentors, nor can one mentor enough. I’ve had many through the years, but one sticks out above the rest. This particular mentor touched my life in two important ways, separated by nearly 40 years.

While a cadet at the U.S. Air Force Academy, I struggled to keep my grades up. I was on the dean’s “other list” six of eight semesters. Now, in the end, I managed to defeat my academic demons and graduate with a commission in 1973, but I certainly didn’t do it alone. I owe my success in large part to my academic adviser and mentor, Col. Joe Henjum.

Colonel Henjum wasn’t what I expected when I met him for the first time in 1971. To be honest, I don’t think I knew what to expect. He had been awarded the Silver Star for heroism while flying helicopters in Vietnam. I quickly learned that Colonel Henjum was the kind of person who was easy to look up to and even easier to follow.

For the most recent Air Force headlines, visit the Air Force News Channel on Military.com.

When he took me and my academic worries under his wing, I was proud to be there. I knew that his guidance, combined with persistence and determination on my part, would lead me through the challenge. In the end, it most certainly did.

When I walked across the stage with the rest of the Class of 1973, I strode with the confidence that Colonel Henjum had helped build within me. He had been a crucial part of my Academy experience and, in many ways, part of who I am today. I kept in touch with Colonel Henjum over the years, often thanking him for making a difference in my life. I never imagined that his influence would impact me all over again, especially at this point in my career.

The second time Colonel Henjum touched my life began with tragic news. On Jan. 1 of this year, Colonel Henjum passed away after battling a long illness. His son, Mark, asked if I would speak at his father’s memorial service. I was touched by his request and spent hours trying to find the right words to convey how great a person had just left our earth. I wanted to make sure everyone understood the lasting difference he made in the lives of others.

When it was my turn to speak, it came from my heart. I told the crowd about a man who dedicated his life to serving and helping others. When I finished, his son rose to speak. While listening to Mark’s story, I found Colonel Henjum leading me on another journey. I was touched and want to share the story with you.

A few months ago, Mark accompanied his father to the hospital and they both knew what was about to happen. The doctor was going to tell Colonel Henjum that he only had three months left to live. It was an appointment they were both dreading. While riding up to the doctor’s floor, Colonel Henjum greeted the building janitor who shared the elevator with them. He complimented the janitor for keeping the building so clean. The janitor was shocked; no one had ever thanked him before. Colonel Henjum noticed the building and took the time to notice the janitor. His actions resonated with me. That janitor would never forget Colonel Henjum.

When getting off the elevator, Colonel Henjum introduced Mark to the receptionist. He told Mark about the receptionist’s son who was a Marine and currently flying combat missions in Afghanistan. He reassured the receptionist that her son would come home safely; Marines are excellent pilots. Not only had Colonel Henjum met and talked with the receptionist before, but also he remembered her and took precious time to introduce his son. He even thought to reassure her fears with a son deployed to combat operations.

Now, think about it. Colonel Henjum was riding the elevator to find out he didn’t have much time left. Instead of lamenting his fate, he was concerned about others. That day, he made a difference in their lives. Almost 37 years after graduating from the Academy, Colonel Henjum was once again making a difference in my life.

I always like to tell people that they should strive for two things in life: make a difference in people’s lives and leave the campground better than you found it. Colonel Henjum certainly did that throughout his 75 years. He mentored me as a cadet at the Air Force Academy and once again just this last month. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor and friend.

Go and thank those who have guided you through the years and take time to make a difference in the lives of those you mentor. Our Air Force is only as good as those of us who serve. Let’s all work hard to make each of us a little better each and every day. Just as Colonel Henjum did for me and many others.

PATTAYA, Thailand – More than 30 U.S. Airmen and Soldiers along with South Korean marines and sailors visited an emergency shelter for small children during Exercise Cobra Gold 2010.

The military members landscaped the area and then played and ate lunch with the children of the Mercy Center, who are orphans or at risk of direct abuse or severe neglect.

“I had a blast with these kids,” said Staff Sgt. Wesley Sutton, a chaplain’s assistant assigned to the 15th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, Hawaii. “The fact that they can play and show so much life despite their situation is just amazing.”

Fred and Dianne Doell established the Mercy Center in 2000 with the support of the Victory Family Church in Pattaya.

Members of all the branches of the U.S. military have volunteered at the center while participating in Cobra Gold for more than five years, Ms. Doell said. “When the Republic of Korean military asked to join them this year, we were thrilled. We love what we do, but it can be hard, and all the volunteers give us such encouragement with their service.”

For the most recent Air Force headlines, visit the Air Force News Channel on Military.com.

Cobra Gold 10 represents the first year of the South Korean military’s participation. Volunteering at the Mercy Center is one of several humanitarian civic assistance projects that are scheduled while the troops are in Thailand for Cobra Gold.

South Korean Sgt. Suhwan Lee, a scout leader with 6th Company, 22nd Battalion, said volunteering was one of the most important responsibilities of the military while participating in Cobra Gold.

“This day was good for us as well as the children,” Sergeant Lee said. “This is a great program. I think all of us felt excited and happy with how it went.”

Throughout the day, the 24 children of the center were all smiles as they played soccer and basketball, swung on swings, and had a water balloon fight with the servicemembers.

Although the children started out shy, by the end of the day both groups forged friendships.

“Despite the obvious language barrier between the children and the troops, they understood each other perfectly,” Ms. Doell said. “Love has its own language. You don’t have to talk to, tickle or play basketball. These children felt every volunteer open their heart to give love, and they gave it right back. They were clearly on the same page.”

Sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command and the Royal Thai Supreme Command, Cobra Gold is a three-week exercise that includes a command post exercise, a series of medical and engineering civic action projects, and joint and combined field training.
