October 2nd, 2014ADS, Inc. Awarded Key Supply Chain Support Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency
October 2nd, 2014Virginia Beach, VA, USA, October 1, 2014: ADS, Inc. has been selected by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support to provide supply chain solutions in support of their Commercial Fastener Integrator (CFI) Initiative Program. DLA recently awarded ADS an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to supply thousands of commercial fastener products to DoD Customers around the world. The contract consists of a three-year base term and an additional two-year option with a total value of up to $84 million over five years.
The CFI Initiative is a critical step in DLA’s strategy to transform the way it orders, receives, manages, and distributes commercial fasteners. The agency is transitioning from directly stocking these items to utilizing ADS to provide supply chain support, rapid response, lower overall cost, and the best possible value to DoD customers through direct fulfillment of requisitions on behalf of DLA.
“We’re extremely proud of our track record supporting the Defense Logistics Agency with supplying our Nation’s men and women in uniform the best equipment available including items for maintenance, repair, and operations.” Said Jason Wallace, ADS Chief Executive Officer. “Our award-winning past performance in managing federal stock classes through DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents a natural progression for ADS into commercial fasteners.”
In addition to fulfillment, ADS will provide DLA with a broad range of support ranging from forecasting collaboration with customers, total supply chain management, distribution and warehousing, to quality control, customer direct support, compliance with Time Definite Delivery (TDD) timeframes, data management, and minimum material availability.

Special Forces Association Revokes “Dual Survival” Star Joe Teti’s Membership
October 2nd, 2014
SSD received word earlier today that the Special Forces Association has revoked the membership of Joe Teti. The star of Discovery Channel’s “Dual Survival” served in the US Marine Corps as well as in the Army National Guard’s 19th SFG(A).
This isn’t something that is taken lightly. Revocation of membership has only happened 10 times in the Association’s history. It is our understanding that Teti’s membership was revoked pursuant to Paragraph VII.c. of the SFA’s constitution. His SFA membership cannot be reinstated.
Mr Teti’s background has long been a point of contention. There are numerous websites that detail the inconsistencies surrounding his service record and public claims. We welcome SSD readers to provide relevant links in the comments.
“AK vs AR”: The Musical
October 1st, 2014
Ok, so it’s not really a musical, but “AK vs AR” is a magazine. I’m not quite sure how well my favorite internet kerfuffle is going to translate unto the printed page. After all, where will you post your comments regarding your favorite platform? Who will be there to listen to you pontificate on your experience with you favored platform? Let’s face it, a magazine based on everyone’s Internet straw man doesn’t sound like much fun at all. But, there are some cool articles in this special interest publication including a head to head competition with the AK and AR conducted by some very righteous dudes.
What’s next, “9mm vs .45?”

Polish MultiCam “Inspired” Variants
October 1st, 2014
According to an industry source, for the past few years Polish Special Forces have been utilizing a MultiCam knockoff pattern called “Suez”. “Suez” is very similar to MultiCam, and is missing only one color when compared to the original pattern. It consists of dark brown, olive green, light olive, beige, and tan on a sandy background. It is printed by the Polish fabric printing company Andropol, and has since also been introduced to other services such as the BOR – Polish Secret Service. Recently, at the MSPO trade show, Andropol introduced a green coloration as a proposal of a new pattern for the Polish Border Guard.
In the image above, you can see “Suez” on the left, printed on 50/50 PolyCotton fabric, with MultiCam on the right printed on 50/50 NyCo. The below image shows a swath of “Suez” printed on 50/50 PolyCotton.
As you can see, “Suez” is very similar to commercial MultiCam in composition.
