AIR FORCE RESERVE:
President Harry Truman called for the formation of the Air Force Reserve in 1948, just a year after the United States Air Force was formed. Originally, the Reserve was conceived as a “stand by” force for emergencies. But in February 1997, the Air Force Reserve changed from a Field Operating Agency to a Major Command (MAJCOM). Since then, the over 71,000-member force has evolved into the Air Force’s Wingman, performing the same missions and working side-by-side on the same equipment. The Air Force Reserve is an exciting, vibrant part of the nation’s defense. It offers similar benefits afforded to those on active duty, with one major addition: the benefit of time. Time to be with your family, time to work at your civilian career, and time to serve your country. An ideal option for those who have never been in the military and want to participate without being on full-time active duty, the Reserve is also a great way for those in other branches of the military to continue their benefits. Those include educational and retirement programs; starting their civilian careers with the stability of a second paycheck; and continuing the camaraderie and adventure only available through the service.
ALL GIRL SKATE JAM:
It isn’t just a boy’s world; girls are skaters too. All Girl Skate Jam is featured every summer on the Vans Warped Tour, and we are energized and ready to ramp it up.

Come by our tent for give-a-ways and check out the all new exclusive All Girl Skate Jam Vans Shoe. You’ll be sure to get a sneak peek of the new AGSJ Skateboard kit, too. You don’t want to miss it. Do you LOVE TO SKATEBOARD? Have you always wished you could get better at it? Do people in your life think it’s a boy’s world and girls aren’t skaters? AGSJ is now casting talent for a Skater Girl MTV Reality TV Show. If this is you or someone you know, we want to hear your side of the story. All Ages, All Abilities, All Girls.

Since its inception PSD has collaborated with some of the best independent companies as well as bands in an effort to bring fresh ideas to the table and support the scene that we’re proud to be a part of. Truth Custom Drums, Skate4Cancer and Fearless Records are a few examples of these companies, and on the band side of things we are proud to call August Burns Red, Every Time I Die, Sleeping With Sirens, Mayday Parade and a ton of other incredible bands part of our family. The next big pushes for PSD include branching out into other avenues with the inception of our new record label, PSDRecords, and Tattoo company, Lucky Peter Tattoo. PSD is seen around the world regularly on MTV and in Alternative Press Magazine. For more information on PSD and to pick up some fresh gear please visit: www.petersaysdenim.com.
