The USTASC bullet-resistant vest program is now being extended to all employees. All current USTASC employees will receive a bullet-resistant vest IF you complete the following form below.  All vests will remain the property of USTASC. If you wish to purchase your vest, you can do so through a payroll deduction agreement. Those who have already signed up for the supplemental vest program DO NOT need to sign up again.  Your vests were already ordered. However, you can either purchase their vests outright through payroll deduction OR just use the vests we will be issuing everyone. But the vests will remain the property of USTASC if you do not choose to purchase them. WE NEED you to sign up for this program in order to receive your vest. This MUST BE completed within  48 hours  for us to get our order in on time. Vests will take 4-5 weeks for delivery: https://tacticalamericansecurityconsultingllc.formstack.com/forms/vestorder Chief E. Avnet ...

A new synthetic drug comes to the illicit drug market each week. Most of those drugs die a quick death and most people will never hear from them again. Others hit the market fast and hard and create a lot of damage in their wake, like the synthetic opioid  U-47700 . With Eutylone and Benzylone, they have been creating havoc in the US. https://link.gravesassociates.com/2da54110?fbclid=IwAR1rbXb_GAnlv7Cah_arpcRUjjPtn41eWo09qcVtscb9WI-q91jvcrKWjh0
