Thanks Nomad, great report!
Yeah, LT = exSEAL?... doesn't ring true to me either, but I've only known one SEAL well. And some highly-trained high-capability soldiers can be uniquely quirky.
Not surprised by the non-existence of the disruptive tech, termed by LT as the "new product". In July Snaper told me there was no new product as such, but a "new application of a product" (which may or may not be directly related to Magnatech).
