My brother just re-joined the Army after about a 15 year break. He had been in the Utah Army Guard (aviation) up through about the mid 90s as a mechanic. He had to muster out after having some weight problems.

He is now 41 and just passed the Officer Candidate interview and by the skin of his teeth the physical exam / weigh-in and will be sworn in to the Arizona National Guard this coming week I guess (infantry) and will be off to OCS in about 3 months. He literally made the last class he could get into through the AzNG and get commissioned before he turns 42 and would be ineligible he explained. He lost like 113lbs in 6-7 months and wants to lose another 50 in the next 6 months... He looks pretty good.

He wants to use the occasion to reward himself and get a civvie M9 for himself. We are trying to find him the best deal he can get on an in-stock one. Any good ideas on where to look for a reasonably good deal? Bud's lists them but are out of stock (he found that).

Thanks for the suggestions
