Having grown up reading Mad magazine and then served in the intelligence community, how can I not love this? Furthermore, how ironic that Mad magazine prepared me all too well for my IC service.

ITS Agents Morale Patch Set
Thursday, October 13th, 2016How Cool Is That?
Thursday, October 13th, 2016
I really like Thirty Second Out’s ‘Victory’ print, depicting actor Robert Duvall in his iconic role as Col Kilgore in ‘Apocalypse Now’. Apparently, so does he. He signed one of the prints and it will be auctioned off to raise money for the World of Honor fund early next year, but you can get yours now at thirtysecondsout.com/products/poster-victory.
That’s A Cool Patch

Hopefully, I won’t have to wait as long for one of these bad boys as I’ve had to for a Mod 2.
Kinetic Development Group – Moral Compass
Tuesday, October 11th, 2016I’ve loved compasses since I was in Scouting as a kid. Sure enough, the guy at KDG who came up with this is also a former Scout. That’s probably why the Moral Compass from Kinetic Development Group struck a chord with me.
I carry a small, similar compass on my person, anytime I’m in the back country or more than an hour away from home. But, I think I’m going to replace it with this one and also get one for each of my sons, to remind them to always stay on the path.
A compass can only point you in the right direction, it can’t make you go there…
Some people already have a moral compass, others could certainly use one! For those that need one, KDG is happy to announce our new solid brass compass!
No one likes to feel lost in life, and at times it can be hard to keep your bearings. The KDG Moral Compass helps find direction. While it can’t replace that inner sense which distinguishes what is right from wrong, it will serve as a reminder to use good judgement. Built off of a traditional Marble’s® brass body compass, our Moral Compass shares the legacy of great men and adventures worldwide. Undaunted men such as Teddy Roosevelt carried similar compasses on remote expeditions, safaris, and big game hunts. Arctic Explorers Admiral Perry and Byrd often trusted a neck worn compass on treks to the North and South Pole. They have been carried by Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airman for decades all across the world. When you are in a tough spot, our Moral Compass will show you the way out!
Day or night, in the dark woods or a dimly lit nightclub, our Moral Compass with guide you. The brass construction and crisp lettering makes this a great present for your friends, family, and anyone you want to send a subtle message to that might have lost their way.

-Solid Brass Bar Stock Construction

Magpul also released this companion shirt, the Fine Cotton Dead Che Day T-Shirt. Unfortunately, the shirt design “suffered from a lack of “Intelligance” in “Conjuction” with a total disregard for spell check.” As a result, it’s being offered at a special discounted price, while supplies last. The shirt is made of 100% ring spun cotton, available in sizes SM-3XL.
