at the rate it's going, the gov'nt might try charge you for their training too!!!!  I'd check with TSA on the x-ray question.....

I've heard the same thing from my son.  Extremely sad ....and aggravating!  If these guys were paid what they are really worth to this country, we wouldn't be able to afford them.

Is there any way to get through xray if you've got that knife in your Seabag?

I got some of the same from our guy - not much room, etc.  We've been helping with $$ since boot camp -side trips & fun money. I was  also stunned early on that besides the pay scale, they are having to pay for meals & uniforms.  Doesn't look like that's going to improve with the current budget issues. We are in the process of ordering him a blade from Tactical - recognizing that while it may not ever be used with his mission kit, it is something that can serve as a reminder of what they've been thru, and what they've accomplished. Plus - he likes knives.  I always assumed that once they get out to their teams, they will get guidance on "mission" gear.  Our gift to all our kids has been that if there was something that they felt they really needed (in lieu of wanted), we would help them find a way to get it.  Some of those "little" things (knives/guns) could someday help save their lives.  HooYah 293 & 294 !!

Grad gifts -

I talked with my guy about upcoming graduation, threw out some of the suggestions we've written on.  He was quite emphatic that he had more knives and mutitools than anyone could ever use in a lifetime, has VERY LITTLE room and didn't want "stuff", and what he really needed was MONEY (smile).  Cash doesn't have the symbolism I was hoping for, but to my surprise, he said they've had to pay for their food rations whilst out in the desert training (which I think is criminal) and said "he would most appreciate some financial help".

This from Seal of Honor:

If you can find it in your heart I am asking that you please make a contribution in Chris and Chad’s memory to the Glenn Beck Mercury One Memorial Fund. Many of you may not know, but Chris never received any of the profits from American Sniper. The funds collected by Mr. Beck go directly and immediately to the family to cover funeral, immediate expenses and their kids future. Chris valiantly served our Country and it’s our turn now to help his family. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Grad Gifts -

This is a high end gift, but I thought is was once in a lifetime.  Now that I have a second son starting I don't think it was a good prescedent.

Anyway - I gave my son after SQT a Benchmade Infidel and a Custom P220 - He loved them and uses both. Might be worth a look.
