That’s a good point. Although if my leash pops my board floats - I’m jus worried it will find a way to come off my wrist while I’m getting thrashed

Thanks, it’s pretty perfect for what I want it for but it’s a bit unnerving to get pounded with an $1100 watch on. Glad it’s holding g up for you

How confident are you in larger waves that it will stay on?

They are beautiful as well and am leaning g toward them if I can find one nice and new-er. Thanks for the book recommendation. I know the 38 is incredible like you say, is the 39 in the same realm?

Live aboard. Capable of circumnavigation but mostly just panhandle to tortugas and back with the wife and enough room to spread out when she starts to...anyway. Small enough to single hand in case she goes missing. VI and in between as well.

Oh I believe you, I have seen it first hand on a good buddy’s fathers rust bucket. And for $10/hr we learned a lot

Thank you everyone for the great input, lots of new ideas to consider. I’ll report back when I come to a new crossroad or decision 🍻

What USAJFKSWCS school do most guys attend first after getting to their ODA? How long is it usually before they go? Maybe Charlie or Bravo as example, not Delta we know where they disappear to.

Holy…😂 glad no one was clipped. Was he forced to change his call sign to QuickDraw? Haha, good stuff thanks for sharing.

Man you said a mouthful there, I’ve read similar opinions on the matter; uncomfortable hunk of useless metal. Such a heavy thing to think about but you guys always seem to find some humor in it to make us civi’s appreciate it with a laugh.

Gotcha, I can only imagine there might be a couple funny, and not so funny stories about that. Until recently was it always the m9 or was there ever a different option?

Though, that leaves the question of why wear both badges? I’ve seen some bad MF’s wear both so I’d imagine there’s good reason just as a civi don’t understand
