Description:
In conjunction with its sister company (TCBC Enterprises, LLC) BTC Enterprises, Inc creates and distributes a line of military-themed novelties and entertainment products that captures the exciting and elite aspects of the military life-style and culture and packages it in a highly engaging and family-friendly format.
Brent Carey -- a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve with over twenty-five years of military experience -- saw an opportunity to create a unique company dedicated to bringing a line of family-friendly, military-themed products to the military community and general public. These products include the Hooah! Audio Button (similar to the Staples Easy Button), a military-themed candy product, an iconic military character, and a patent-pending trading card and game system also based on a military theme.
The term "Hooah!" is universal throughout the daily lexicon in the U.S. Army including combat, training, the classroom and the office. It has reached popular culture through a variety of movies, TV shows, and video games
The company's launch item is the Hooah! Audio Button -- a round, red, white, and blue audio button that says "Hooah!" when pushed. Over 7,000 of these units were sold in the first 12 months of operation and there are over 30,000 fans of the Hooah! Audio Button on Facebook.
