Pvt. Klink/Dan:

Sounds as though the Yard has large orders or contracts with military units / individual personnel.

I'm an Army officer in a combat engineer unit that is set to deploy in the next 7-12 months. I know there are Soldiers in the unit who would be very interested in adding a Regulator bowie to their battle rattle.

How are military contracts set up? -- is it by unit, per individual, or in another fashion? How far in advance do orders need to be placed? If you'd prefer to discuss this offline, I'm interested in doing so. Any input is appreciated.
