How about a compromise? Drew the short straw = You suck at your job and I don't have the balls to say it to your face, so let's find you a new one. Better? -

...a little bit of orange juice, some pineapple juice, a splash of grenadine, spiced rum...

Nope.

Rest in peace, brother.

Not. Good. FAA orders 787 grounding until battery problem fixed
I'll endorse the kit from Northern Brewer, too. I started with that one and it worked great. I still use most of the components from it even though I've been brewing for a few years now. A lot of places are starting to have their own local homebrew stores open up, too (those of you at Beale have had one open up in Roseville in the last year). You might check to see if there's one near your house and wait to buy until you can check out what they have. And '2' to everything day man suggested. Especially the StarSan.
Here you go.
2. I bought my XD40 at about the same time for exactly the same reasons (before the .45 version was available & never felt compelled to trade up once it was). Grip angle is what sold me, it just felt more comfortable to shoot than the Glock.
I don't know, I've done some short notice drops to far flung FOBs because the grunts were running out of food & ammo in a hurry. I don't know how low they actually were on supplies, but if they were depending on my bundles to keep them in the fight, and I called a no-drop and RTB'd, I could imagine a not-unlikely scenario in the current fight where my no-drop led to a loss of life because they ran out of firepower. I just don't think it's too hard to get into a situation like that in the environment the ground forces are operating in right now. All it takes is one guy worrying about being the next Jared and waving off.
What's sad is things like this are going to start affecting people's decision making downrange. All this fiasco is going to do, regardless of the outcome, is make people even more spring loaded to call a "no-drop" whether in training or in the combat zone. Maybe that's OK most of the time, but there will come a time when it could have a negative impact on the mission when it didn't have to come to that. We're in the business of war and people will get hurt, there's no way around that. How far will the risk-averse pendulum swing?
We are, and so are we.
Scaredfuzz, this guy: ...is NOT this guy.
Parts +1 hour? USAF releases pictures of crashed F-22
You're a smarter man than I, but that's not news.
This is going to be fun to watch.
