Navy Captain Stands Watch... With A Benchmade!

[Silent H]

It's pretty unusual to see the Captain of a ship standing a security watch, something that is usually left to the junior sailors, and It's pretty cool to see a Benchmade sheath on the upper left of his vest. There's definitely the imprint of a strap cutter in that sheath, probably the 8 Hook, based on the size of the sheath. I wonder if he has another Benchmade on him....

I know it's a flimsy excuse for a thread, but hey, this is pretty badass, standing watch in his flight suit with a TOPGUN patch on the right shoulder. I'm sure his own crew appreciates that he's willing to stand a security watch, getting to know both them and their jobs, and it's an impressive display of leadership for the rest of us.

Definitely a class act and when I was in the US Army, if I had seen ANY officer standing guard, I would have been knocked out!! I also would have followed that sob through the gates of hell!!

Awesome pic. Nothing’s getting by that guy.

I wonder what the most commonly carried BM’s are in the military. Adamas? AFO2? Contego?

The strap cutters are pretty popular, and I know the AFO has been issued fairly widely. I see plenty of Infidels, and 530s. The Bugout is pretty popular too.

Good leadership. Isn't there a story about General Matttis pulling Christmas duty so an enlisted man could be with his family?

I loved wearing my flight suit pajamas everyday and I usually had my grip in the leg pocket!

Everyone knows the cool guys have their knife clipped front and center on the left chest pocket
