Hey, a cool thing... I just found out that the History Channel show "Tactical to Practical" is going to be filming at our Phoenix office next week.

Neato... I'm not sure what the subject matter is...

Hey, a cool thing... I just found out that the History Channel show "Tactical to Practical" is going to be filming at our Phoenix office next week.

Title sounded interesting enough that I had to look it up :) Here's what it's about--sounds cool:

Tactical to Practical

About Tactical to Practical: They say necessity is the mother of invention, and few situations rival military necessity. What is surprising is how often solutions to military problems turn out to be useful in everyday life. TACTICAL TO PRACTICAL is a new one-hour program from The History Channel that explores innovations developed for combat that have evolved into useful tools for civilian life. Hosted by Hunter Ellis, former Navy Fighter Pilot and SURVIVOR contestant.

Next Airing: Saturday, Mar 6 @ 4pm ET/PT

Survival Training/People in Space/Explosives: #9

Survival in war isn't just about dodging bullets, but keeping alive in extreme conditions. Explorers and adventurers also face life-threatening situations. Hunter Ellis tests new high-tech gadgets for your next adventure. Once a Cold War battleground, today's space race sees super-rich dreamers competing to launch space tourism--with $10-million in prize money at stake! Then, Hunter examines explosives--from the military to avalanche control, diamond mining, special effects, and fireworks. TV G
