Fun fact: When they bought these trucks, they had to let them set in storage until the factory warranty ran out for some reason I don't remember.

That's one I'd never heard. I was in during the time we got them too. Went from the Dodge trucks to these rigs. I'd take one of the updated Blazers if someone was giving it away.

We never did. In the middle of a hurricane in the Atlantic, you don't want the $5.00 shackle to fail, because some pointy-head on the beach saved fifty cents. We found what we wanted, then found some unique feature, like color, size, thread length, whatever, and put that in the requirements. Since the one we wanted was the only one that met the requirement we got what we wanted. Every time.

Breaking the starch on a fresh pair was always such a COOL feeling. And if it wasn't too warm out you could get 2 days out of a pair. But DAMN did you look GOOD..

Their basic training beat out the Army in "toughness" a few years (for an old guy) ago. Got me upset - more so than when DA created the stress card. Or issued the beret.

They do some pretty high-speed shit - just balls out, badass, got a good chance of being killed stuff. Guns don't need to be fired to get killed - dropping into an icy cold ocean when there's a storm kicking takes some cojones.

Happy Birthday, calf-deep water sailors!
