Roger that. But then again there are few questions for which a BAR isn’t the right answer.

But I gotta say after playing with that thing for a while that when the call came to “make preparations to repel boarders” it might have been nice to have such a thing on my belt. Though admittedly that’s been a lesser risk on CG cutters of late.

What I do miss is the dress uniform for enlisted sailors, with the dress cutlass. Even if it was Chiefs and up... Its a classic and nostalgic touch on the dress uniform. It should be part of the uniform regs.

Traditions matter.

Aye - true enough, though I recall Holman being pretty handy with an ax as well as his ‘03 and his BAR.

Deadly combination - cold steel and hot lead.
