Well, What Do You Think?

Saturday, November 5th, 2016

An SSD reader sent me this meme. Yes, he’s a Guard guy, but a proud Guardsman all the same.


I’m not sure of its origin, but the information is true. In year 15 of this ongoing war, reserve component service members have been a vital part of our Nation’s defense, but are they truly better than their active duty counterparts? 

What’s your take?

P&S Roland Special T-Shirt Now Available

Friday, October 21st, 2016

The Roland Special is a Glock configuration made famous on Primary and Secondary and it’s become a “thing”. If you’re not familiar, it’s worth reading up on. My friend Chris Mudgett did a good write up over at Guns & Ammo. At any rate, P&S has commemorated the gun with this T-shirt by Magpul. Available in any color as long as it’s Black.

Pray For Tom

Monday, October 17th, 2016

Some of you may know Tom Greer personally, but many will know him from his nom de plum, Dalton Fury. 

Tom Greer has done a lot to make our lives better.

He protected us, spending his youth in the Army, tackling some of the most challenging assignments available. Then, he informed us, telling the story of the hunt for Bin Ladin when no one else would. Later still, he entertained us, authoring a popular series of novels featuring a former special operator. 

Now is our chance to give back.

You see, Tom has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and unfortunately, there’s really not a lot to say about that.

However, Tom’s family has created a Facebook page for him, as he deals with his illness. Please go and like it and do whatever it is you do, whether it’s praying or sending out positive vibes, think about Tom Greer.  Please let him know how much you appreciate everything he’s done for us.

ITS Agents Morale Patch Set

Thursday, October 13th, 2016

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.

How 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.
