Job Description

Get Real Experience and Pave Your Way into a Career That Makes a Difference

Position Summary (Unpaid Internship)
Are you passionate about tactical gear and firearms, with a drive to support our Military? 

Here’s your chance to make an impact and kickstart a career in an industry dedicated to equipping armed forces, special operations, and three-letter agencies with the best gear available. 

We’re looking for dedicated, detail-oriented individuals who want to learn, contribute, and grow within our team.

As an intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple departments, including Customer Support, Production, Manufacturing, Laser Cutting, Product Design, Shipping, and Media . You’ll work alongside experts who design and deliver mission-critical equipment—and if a paid position becomes available, our interns are the first in line for consideration. We also value your time and will work with your schedule, accommodating school, work, and other commitments so you can make the most of this opportunity.

What You’ll Do

• Work on Real-World Projects – Contribute directly to projects that impact armed service members, law enforcement, and elite special forces, ensuring they have the reliable gear needed to complete their missions.

• Collaborate with Industry Experts – Learn from seasoned professionals who know the tactical gear industry inside and out. You’ll gain experience in product design, laser cutting, production, and much more.

• Gain Insight into Top-Tier Client Needs – This isn’t just any internship; you’ll gain exposure to the needs and standards of all branches of the military, special forces, and agencies, understanding what it takes to deliver gear they can trust.

Why This Role is Different

• Direct Pathway to Employment – We believe in hiring from within, and our interns are the first to be considered when paid roles open up. Stand out here, and you’ll be top of mind for our next hire.

• Flexible Scheduling – We know life is busy. We’ll work with you to make this internship fit your schedule, whether you’re balancing school, work, or other commitments.

• Purpose-Driven Work – Be a part of something bigger. Every project you work on here plays a role in supporting and protecting those who serve our country.

What We’re Looking For

• True Enthusiasts and Gear Experts – This role is for those who live and breathe tactical nylon gear and firearms. If you’re constantly refining your load-outs and follow every innovation in tactical gear, you’re the kind of person we want.

• Knowledge of Key Gear and Industry Brands – Ideal candidates have a strong understanding of tactical equipment (armor carriers, pouches, comms systems, helmets) and follow leading brands like Crye Precision, Spiritus Systems, Ferro Concepts, Haley Strategic, and emerging designers.

• A Portfolio of Load-Out Experience – As part of the interview process, we’ll review your past and current load-outs. Extra consideration is given to applicants who have experience using AXL products.

If you’re ready to break into the tactical gear industry and contribute to projects that directly support those on the front lines, apply now. Join us in a mission that matters, gain invaluable experience, and take the first step towards a rewarding career.
