you talk about gifts....here are some high-end, high-dollar tactical knives: http://www.ds-tactical.org/tactical-knives/
Presents for Graduation: I gave my son a Leatherman MUT a while ago when he graduated Phase II because I thought he might be able to use it in Phase III. When he got it he told me that it was a very useful gift and that guys were always asking other guys if they could use their MUT when they needed a tool. I bought his on Amazon but there are other outlets. Here is the site describing it. the video is a good intro: http://www.leatherman.com/product/MUT
Tragically, this just drives home the point that our boys are always in harms-way primarily due to their convictions and personal Code of Ethics; even domestically in CONUS. They are most definately, held to a higher standard. Our collective heart and prayers to this family.
Perhaps this article by Bing West will help clarify thinking on females in combat units: http://www.the-american-interest.com/article.cfm?piece=1373
And here's the ultimate question posed in West's article: "The question is whether increasing the individual rights of the female soldier decreases the combined combat effectiveness of the killing pack."
From what I've read it probably won't be before 2016. That is the date the Pentagon has set for the individual services to report on accepting women into their special forces. My guy (292) has said no one he knows is on board with it, citing unit cohesion, intimate killing skills, etc. but given current winds of change it seems pretty inevitable. God help that first young lady!!
Any 294 Dads out there?? Also, with the politicians push to allow women into more combat roles, any thinking on when some young lady is going to try BUDs??
Leatherman also has a cool EOD model: http://www.leatherman.com/product/MUT_EOD
Jim, here are a few suggestions for you: items such as a watch, a compass, a paddle, a bell mounted on a plaque with the clapper removed. Each of these can be inscribed with a personal message. Also a practical gift like a high end flash light or a SOG combo tool --(the EOD is a great model --my son loves his). All can be found on line. Hooyah 2 nine 4!
