I have a number of friends in the diving business that are former Seals, former SBS and the like. The Seals tell me that anything that says it is the official anything of the teams are saying they sent a bunch of free shit to them, or they get requests for their goods from some of the team members. According to them G-Shock rules.

One more thing...IMHO the Spec Ops guys from any country are real heros.

We owe a debt of gratitude to these amazing and unique individuals.

Thank you all for your service wherever that may have been.

Here is a little quiz for all our Spec Ops guys..

Which one is the real SEAL?

It's the black guy, definitely. First, the one with the ball is a cartoon character and therefore is way too cute to be a real seal. Second, no SEAL in his right mind would be caught alive or dead in a fake ass blonde weave job that Kayiesha and LaQuwanda at Skeet's Beauty Salon, BBQ and Bail Bonding could have done better at half the price.

Truthfully, I find myself also leaning in that direction. But!! I have a few questions. Why do they call him Seal? Is he from the Arctic or France? Is he a Special Ops singer? Is it warmer in the Summer or in the Country. Does he have the best Sub?
What ever happened to Twisted Sister? How on earth did George Clooney get rated as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2006? Who has the best Pannie black deployment strap?

I don't know if anyone is still interested, but I just talked to a colleague of mine who was a Ranger (I know this for a fact, btw... he's got all the decorations and photos and military connections blah blah blah... cool bullet scar too from an AK-47, went clean through his calf... after that he couldn't do ground combat and only flew helicopters.. weird guy, but nice.. anyway...) and he said he was issued a manual hand-wind watch when he was on operations. No digital, no quartz.. no ticking, no beeping... just a simple dial with lumed markers and hands, on nylon strap. He didn't remember the brand.

Can't see the image. Perhaps it's the infamous 'stealth' watch, mega-top secret stuff that I thought was only a rumor.... :shock:

All FBI pilots wear the emergency. Had one noice watch but a pain to maintain. Not worth it unless company coin ponies up for it.

A freind of mine offshore and I are trying to talk one of our divers into buying a gen Emergency. Giving this guy an Emergency will be like giving a monkey a machine gun,,,,,it is just a matter of time. Oh well he can afford the fine! :D
