Custom United States Navy shirts are more than just flashy images. They have purpose and a mission and carry a message in the United states Navy! Sinking enemy submarines lies at the heart of this command and its strategic importance. Naval Surface War Fighting!

WHO IS NAVOCEANASWCEN?

HOW DO YOU KILL A SUBMARINE!

Mk. 54 lightweight torpedo

The U.S. and allied navies have one of the best light torpedoes in the world in the Mk. 54. It has a 96-pound warhead guided by a torpedo that can ignore enemy countermeasures and home in on an enemy sub at 40 knots. It can be launched from ships, helicopters, and planes and reaches deep enough to kill all known subs.

The Littoral Combat Ship

The LCS ASW mission is to conduct ASW operations in support of a carrier strike group (CSG), amphibious readiness group (ARG), LCS surface action group (SAG) or independently. he Littoral Combat Ship is a fast, agile and networked surface combatant optimized for operating in the littorals. The primary missions for the LCS include countering diesel submarine threats, littoral mine threats and surface threats, such as small surface craft attacks, to assure maritime access for joint forces. The underlying strength of the LCS lies in its innovative design approach, applying modularity for operational flexibility. In executing each mission, LCS employs a modular Mine Countermeasures (MCM) MP, Surface Warfare (SUW) MP or Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) MP. (Source – http://www.navy.mil)

Arleigh Burke Destroyers 

What could be easily said as the workhorse and the backbone of the United States Navy surface fleet. The Tin Can Sailors have been dropping depth charges since WW2 and fire the Mk. 54 anti-submarine torpedoes.

When NAVOCEANASWCEN contacted Vision-Strike-Wear.Com they requested a strong American, Japanese custom US Navy design featuring the Torii Gate, Mt Fuji, a Trident skewering an enemy submarine piercing its hull, and their command motto “Maintaining Freedom Of The Seas” which is an important message as world powers work hard to develop their submarine technologies and the US navy effort so keep ahead of that curve.

Vision-Strike-Wear.Com Salutes The Troops During Armed Forces Week

We know that our men and women in uniform don’t get nearly as much credit as they deserve. There are few enough holidays and occassions like Memorial Day, Fleet Week, Armed Forces Day or Armed Forces Week that honor the troops so we need to think of them more. Not enough credit is offered to these unselfish men and women in uniform that put their lives on the line every day protecting our freedoms.

Never a day goes by when you don’t hear about ISIS, Daesh in their tongue, doing everything possible to disrupt the lives of innocent people overseas. That threat has even gotten closer with the terrorist actions recently reported in Seattle and Texas.

ISIS Hunting Club DAESH Shirt

ISIS Hunting Club DAESH Shirt

I recently traveled to San Diego and while I was waiting for my airplane had the opportunity to site and vist with a United States Navy officer and diver recently back from an undisclosed location in Africa. Out of respect to his rank, his uniform and the need to maintain operational security no detailed questions were asked or responses offered but the single most important thing I discovered is the threat that ISIS does impose on not just America but the rest of the world. He did say in passing that we know little of really what is going on there and our media of course is not covering it. I thanked him, bought him his drink and wished him well and safe return.

So in this modern day with technology advancing as fast as the human mind can comprehend, the advancedments we see and hear about daily, we are still thrown about when we hear how people are being mistreated by these savages in and terrorists who are hell bent on destroying the world as we know it. So I turn back to our military men and women and those who will not accept these terrorists from taking away our rights and casting into a pool of hate and death. It is during Armed Services week that we should remember that we have our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and for many our children that climb into their cockpits, tanks or a shallow and cold trench at night because they stand as a defense and force that is equipped to fight these ungrateful haters of life and have the power to do something about it. So I ask all who take the time to read this to remember our soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen, and coasties not jsut Armed Services week but each time you listen to a news article, read a military blog, listen to a song that brings them to mind and remember they are out there for us and above all they volunteered to do so.

As a contributing writer to the Vision-Strike-Wear.Com military blog I welcome you to experience a company that supports our men and women uniform not jsut one week or day a year but everyday. Vision-Strike-Wear.com has worked with dozens of military organizations from Helphealourvets.Org,

Help Heal Our Vets

IAVA.Org, Purpleheartsfoundation.net, Operationhomefront.net to Homeforthetroops.org and more! Each opportunity to provide support for our active duty and veterans is something they hold to whether it is sonating shirts to a fundraiser, offering to donate a custom designs for their organization or simply creating a store on their website where designs and and products can be purchased which in turn have a % of each sale donated to that military non- profit. It is daily for them.

Some of their most recent designs can be found below. Each of these custom military designs were created so they could be worn with military pride on your favorite shirt, hoodie or apparel selection and what may be the most important worth noting is their dedication to supporting American brands from the shirts they print on to the vinyl decals they use for military decals and stickers.

Any family member that wishes to have a digital shadowbox of their friend or family member can email VSW at headquarters@Vision-Strike-Wear.Com and have their image, awads, dates of service even DD-214 added to their wall to be shown with diginity and preserved so friends and family can visit these pages from time to time.

So please remember of servicemen and women this Armed Services week and keep their support alive and well.

 

Battle Rattling For 240 Years With Freedom And Choice

Battle Rattling For 240 Years With Freedom And Choice

From the founding days of America our decsions have been all about one central concept: choice. The choice to leave the bonds of England, the decision to fight both Germany and Japan on two fronts, the choice to never quit, never surrender and never leave a brother or sister on the battlefield. Every merit and decision we have as a people have made in this country has derived from the concept of choice.

Freedom As A Choice!

Let’s face it, the United States who shares much if its history with England from a common language, similar religions and backgrounds did what others had not leading up to its departure from the British Commonwealth and that was to take back the freedom to choose self rule over colonial England rule and tyrrany of an English monarchy. It had to do with choice and choice means the freedom to do so. To think it up, take action and carry that out to its inevitable outcome. In our case the founding of the United States.

Choice comes from military planning!

Let’s face it. A whole lot of British soldiers never went home because the soldiers, guardsmen, minutemen, US Marines and members of the Continental Army decided let’s not stand in a line and fire our muskets at British Redcoats. Instead they made the choice to fire from trees, brush, brambles, in a non-conventional military manner. The British paid the price. Again this was the choice made by the tacticians of our US military down to the individual soldier who would not play by the rules set by others. Instead it was about choosing to fight on one’s own terms.

Freedom!

I for one feel lucky everyday I wake up in a country whose energy runs on the freedom found in the blood of each and every America. Our choices consume who we are and where we go, what we do and because America is the Land Of The Free and without much intrusion does have an environment that allows anyone to rise to achieve their dreams. Again its all about choice. Will I take a left when I should go right? Will I cross the line in the sand or make a comment where others fear to tread. Nothing is perfect but compared to other countries it isn’t bad either. Nothing is as perfect as we want it to be and guess what? You have the choice to make a difference and chnage it if you want to.

Military Choice!

From the day your recruiter asked you if you would make the choice to put on the uniform of the United States military and pedge and oath to the Constitution of The United States and its citizens you made a choice. You raised your right hand and you made a choice. Off you went to some bootcamp where professionally trained Drill Instructors took a slimy piece of whale excrement and trained it up to become a fine example of a US soldier, airman, US Marine, US Coast Guardsmen or US sailor. All because of a choice you made.

Battle Rattle! It is about choices.

Why Battle Rattle. Think of all the missions, ops, situations and roles our military takes when combating enemies all over the world? Each situation requires a different set of tools to complete the job and with that choice are made as to what type of gear is needed for the successful completion of those mission. What you take with you is one of the most important decisions you can make in the field.

Years ago Vision-Strike-Wear.Com adopted a similar philosophy when it came to chnaging the terrain called custom shirt design and printing. Fostered on the central concept of providing the tools for their customers they made the conscience decision to not adopt what other military shirt companies had done before them: make shirt they wanted to sell to you. Instead the decision was reached that it was more important that VSW customers have the freedom to choose what they wanted on their shirt and not visa versa. Battle Rattle military shirts was then created and since then a variety of Battle Rattle designs were made with features and options to build a custom shirt from the ground up by its customers.

The bottom line is that it creates a military design that customers can customitize on their own and see the changes on the screen as they select from a variety of options.

What are Battle Rattle Features and Options?

It’s a big list and with at least several designs the number of different options is quite literally in the millions. All branches of the military are covered and one of the most important things also to note is that American cotton shirts are available. The active duty, retirees, prior service, family and friends wanted a place where they could have American made shirts.  We responded.

Military Branches Covered!

The Battle Rattle designs from Vision-Strike cover the entire military and every branch. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Within each military branch there are several highly detailed and razor shapr military designs many with a broad level of interest from MOS designs, Navy rate designs such as one for Hospital Corpamen to Coast Guard military graphics that feature Coast Guard Cutters or Jayhawks.

240 Years of Freedom and Choice!

When you think about the age of our country and how long we have operated with a heightened sensitivity towards choice once must realize that choice and freedom go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other.

How old is America? Here is an interesting little trivia. Well when you consider the lifespan thus far of the United States can stretch between the lives of only 4 US President’s not as long as you would think. We have been alive and kicking and our military men and women on the line, the fence, outside the wire, in the trenches, on the sea and in the air have been defending our way of life since our birth in 1776. Our military many people who might already know are actually as old as 1775 to include the US Marines and US Navy who share the same birth year and are one year older than the United States.

Just in case you didn’t believe you can go back to the founding of America based on the lives of just 4 US Presidents.

When President Obama was born (1961), President Herbert Hoover was still alive (1874-1964). When Hoover was born, President Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) was still alive. When President Johnson was born, President John Adams (1735-1826) was still alive. And just like that, we’ve connected present day to the Founding Fathers. (Source – The Washington Post)

Custom Kicking Ass and Taking Names Military Shirts and Designs of 2015!

Custom Kicking Ass and Taking Names Military Shirts and Designs of 2015!

Over the past 7 plus years at Vision-Strike-Wear.Com we have seen many things come and go! The departure from kick ass custom military designs have sadly taken a backseat to cheap! Cheap means something you wouldn’t get caught dead wearing to Uncle Groove’s Clam Bake and Chowder House.

America Is Waking Up from Cheap Quality!

The American public is waking up though and realizing very quickly that cheap is cheap and unless you do wish to get caught dead wearing a faded, heat transfer (last about once and then cracks and peels) shirt from a number of Mr. Cheap shirt companies then honestly you get what you paid for.

Custom? No it deasn’t mean expensive. It means someone took the time to actually design something verses throwing it up on their computer and copieed and pasted the art together. Worse still they most likely took it from someone else and are pushing it off as thei rown. Oh the stories we could tell you. The hits jsut keep on coming and things have gone from bad to worse. The average Joe on the street corner doesn’t realise that Uncle Groove wants one thing. Your money and the shortest distance and least amount of work to get there is what he is about.

Not us. Not today. Not tomorrow either. Vision-Strike-Wear.Com will not settle for the ambush tactics others take. Instead they will provide the best designs, based on affordable budgets, custom designed and custom printed.

You can have it all when it comes to custom designs and military graphics. Why? Cause we want to provide it. Does it have to cost a lot more? No. For less than the cost of a cup of Starbuck’s Coffee you can have what others will not offer or cannot offer.

American Made!

Seems a little funny putting shirts produced with cotton made in China, Honduras, Vietnam or even Mexico on the back of our military. We offer American Made apparel items to all the troops and give them the choice when it comes to having the finest American made shirts produced for them in the industry.

Let’s take a look!

With custom designs delivered with a passion and zeal for our US military, the design team at Vision-Strike-Wear.Com takes custom military design very serious because they want the very best for the troops. Why? Cause at one time they also wore with pride the military uniform of the United States and were proud to call these same men and women in uniform brothers and sisters. Now they want to pay it forward by providing the very best designs they can for them.

So while you think about how to get the best in a design let’s take a moment to show you why going with someone that either doesn’t do artwork correctly or is going to give you copycat artwork that doesn’t even belong to them.

Vanguard Industries.

A few years ago a customer of ours contacted us and asked us if we could do a design for them. They sent in a proof from Vanguard Industries and wouldn’t you know it. They had copied our design and sent it back to us? It was like can we do this artwork? The answer was yes. We already did. Below is a copy of the copycat art. Below this you will find the original artwork created by Vision-Strike-Wear.Com years before Vanguard tried to copy it.

So the next time you want to look for affordable, custom made, American designed, made and printed apparel and shirts check out Vision-Strike-Wear.Com.

Cheap shirts. Cheaply made shirts printed cheaply for a cheap searching audience searching for cheaply made cheap shirts. Isn’t that sad.

So who are they?

They are the ones that advertise cheap shirts. They want to sell cheap shirts. Cutting corners and giving you what they want is their priority.

Vision-Strike-Wear.Com makes a difference with custom shirt designs!

At Vision-Strike-Wear.Com we provide what our customers want and we develop custom artwork for them based on their descriptions and the types of design they want to see created for the CPOA, FCPOA, unit, command, artillery unit, infantry or grunt unit, warship, shore command, deployment designs and much more.
