Anyway two thing real quick. One of our minions visited a different minion at Ft. Polk during the Darley Defense Day at Ft. Polk (well, it was supposed to be on Ft. Polk, but a highly paid marplot with a lot of stroke in the garrison ranks there got his jockeys twisted up at the last minute...more on that later) so we spent a couple days in the dubious metropolis of Leesville. That was interesting to say the least. Luckily all our shots are current and we had plenty of DEET, so all was well. In any case, while we were there we got to meet Major General Mohammed al-Samarae (whom discerning readers may remember from the rescue of Australian engineer Douglas Woods), who now lives in the USA. He works as an OPFOR adviser on Ft. Polk and appears to be well-liked by the troops we met (which hopefully chafes the Australian politicians that denied his request for asylum after the better part of his unit and several of his family members were murdered by AQI in retribution for his assistance to coalition forces). We'll write more up on that later, but here's the picture. We know, it's not a very good picture, but our minion had a hangover after trying to keep up with some guys he never should have tried to keep up with. (The screams of GERONIMO! during one ill-advised round of tequila shots will echo hauntingly in his dreams for years to come...)

In other news, the guys at Going Loud Tactical Outfitters are now apparently working out of Missouri (PCS? Not sure.) They've got someone new running the day to day workings of the business, shipping their stuff, and are apparently still in the business of teaching pro-bono courses. We are attending a tracking course with them outside of Kansas City if all goes well, but it really depends on whether we get back from a sniper course with Angry Dave of AmericanSnipers.org fame in time. The shirt is an updated take on their popular "Valor/Plutarch" shirt, which has apparently been their biggest seller. Speaking with us via Skype from San Antonio, one of Slim's handlers' friends assured us the new shirts were "moto as hell and spoke a good message". We assume that means they are sewn and printed with quality in mind, but who knows.

These shirts are available at Going Loud Tactical Outfitters while supplies last.
