Cool Stuff: Author And Contractor Rob Krott Has A Blog
Here is another blog to put up on your RSS reader folks, and I look forward to future posts from Rob about all things contracting, or whatever interests him. It’s just cool he is blogging, and I hope to see others follow his lead.
I also posted his book awhile back and I am sure he has sold a few since then. It’s a cool book and goes into some of his interesting contracting history, before security contracting blew up during these current wars. Places like Balkans or Somalia, and you can read a little more about his book at his new website/blog. He also did a podcast with Jake Allen awhile back, and you can check that out here.
Finally, James who is the designer and creator behind such projects as Death Valley Magazine, is responsible for putting together this website for Rob. So if you are interested in getting your own blog started, and want to enter into the ring of new media, then there is one resource for you to tap into. I am sure James will pop up and provide some info about what he can do for you. –Matt

Call To Action: The Great Guns and Coffee Movement Of 2010
Now this is funny. The goal here is to create a counter movement to the anti-gun lobby and the latest Brady* move about forcing Starbucks to kick out gun carrying customers that frequent their shops. Hopefully this movement will force Starbucks to take a courageous stand in support of the Second Amendment, and not cave into these dorks.
Also, if you want to show your support for the movement, put the Avatar up on your forum or social network page if you want, or sign the petition below. Super simple, and super fun. It is also free. You can also purchase a morale patch or t-shirt from some of the various vendors that will be offering those things in the near future. Stand by for that.
The other angle on this movement, is that the logo for the anti-gun lobby was designed to bring in anti-gun supporters for the movement. In my opinion, the logo they created will do the exact opposite. As you can see below, several folks have already modified and played around with the thing. lol I envision morale patches and t-shirts being made that are all modified to show their support for Guns and Coffee pro-gun movement. We will see, and this will be a fun little movement if we can get it moving. Thanks to the folks at Lightfighter and ITS for bringing this to the limelight. –Matt
*I do not link to the anti-gun lobby, or post any of their drivel because that only helps them. Follow the links below or use a Google Search to find out more if you want. My intention is to promote the Second Amendment here.
Edit: 3/6/2010 -You can now buy the patches here. They look pretty sharp as well.

Cool Stuff: Some New Affiliates For Feral Jundi
I am excited about these new additions to FJ and I hope these widgets can be of use to the readership. I have signed up with a couple of affiliate programs out there that I think would be appropriate for the blog and please feel free to check them out at your leisure.
The way they work is that FJ gets a small percentage of the sales of equipment and such, every time someone goes to these online stores from this site and buys something. So if you are going overseas, and need to buy some kit, these are some options for you to check out in your research. For example, US Cavalry has an excellent price on my favorite pair of Woolrich Elite LWO pants that I wear, and I plan on purchasing through their site to get some more. Not to mention the fact that I can access their coupon codes (5% Off Any Order of $49 or More w/ Code PJUSC5 at Checkout!) and (Receive 10% Off Any Order of $99 or More at U.S. Cavalry w/ Code PJUSC10 at Checkout!) and throw it out there for you guys to use. Also check out the cool FBI most wanted widget I put on the side.
I will be adding some more widgets in the near future, and we will see how they do. On that note, I will probably be removing some stuff as well, just to clean up the place a little. Kaizen all the way. –Matt
