Continuing to talk about the importance of to operations and personal protective. Last week the subject was airborne school - this week it’s Air Assault School which involves combat rappelling (from 34-foot towers and hovering UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters), sling-load operations, and physical readiness. Graduates earn the coveted Air Assault Badge.

So what’s the textile connection? To start - Rappelling Soldiers use 11mm (7/16-inch) static or dynamic Kernmantle Ropes tied with a provisional harness (like a Swiss seat) to descend safely from a hovering aircraft (such as a UH-60 Blackhawk) to the LZ (landing zone). Then there is Fast-Roping down a Thick, specialized 1.75- to 2-inch diameter untwisted nylon or manila ropes which allow squads to slide down rapidly without a harness in 30 to 60 seconds, maximizing speed and surprise.

The Army Airborne School builds confidence because it forces soldiers to overcome the primal fear of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.
Overcoming Fear
• Facing heights: Soldiers jump from a 34-foot tower, 250 -tower (featured here) and an aircraft at 1,200 feet (C-130 or C-141)
• Controlled panic: Training teaches soldiers to trust their equipment and training instead of panic.
• Mental toughness: Pushing past the instinct of self-preservation builds a strong mindset.

The Voice of the Customer (VOC) is critical because it connects what a company can make with what customers actually need, value, understand, and are willing to buy.

VOC is critical in new-product development. We have to Identify a real customer problem and not bring to market something just because we can make it.

Customers often describe what they think they want rather than the underlying problem. VOC research helps uncover the performance requirements —the need the product must solve.

Example: A customer may say, “We need an extreme cold weather jacket that can be worn in tactical situations and not just another big puffy jacket.” The deeper requirement may actually be reducing soldier load by reducing the number of layers required, improved durability over the existing product, camouflage performance, and protection.

Civil War cavalry boots had square toes because 19th-century military manufacturing relied on “straight-lasted” shoes—meaning left and right boots were identical—and square shapes fit standard mass-production methods. Highly pointed or narrow, form-fitted cowboy toes did not become popular until decades later.Manufacturing and Design FactorsStraight lasts: Factories built boots on symmetrical wooden molds (lasts) to save time and money. A square or broad round toe gave equal room to either foot before the boot broke in.Mass production: Supplying hundreds of thousands of soldiers required simple, uniform patterns. Square toes were easier to punch out and stitch in bulk.Historic styles: 19th-century footwear generally favored broad, squared, or mildly rounded shapes. Extreme pointed toes were not yet standard workwear.

Carved into the sandstone was a Roman figure sealed beneath the barracks floor for roughly 16 centuries. It held a cornucopia in one hand and a shallow offering dish in the other, clues that would soon identify it as a Genius, a protective spirit associated with a household or place.
