Thanks everyone!!!!

I really really enjoy looking at this bezel. Furthermore, the extra time zone is a must have for travelers.

Great watch man! Thanks for your service, hope you enjoy the watch for many years to come. That will definitely be something to hand down to the little one, one day. Come back home safe.

I was running around Parwan and a little in Kapisa from 2008 to 2009 and more recently out east in Kunar. Baghdad came before all of that. I was in one TIC too many and now I'm out because of medical.

I hope your deployment is going well for you and the CAV.

Is the 03 in your name a reference to USMA '03?

03 was my last rank, as I exited last July to attend law school.

Doing contracting now till school starts, MI. Will put paper work in when done to do JAG likely. What are you up to nowadays?

No way. It actually might be hard to go back to another watch because of this awesome feature. Who wants to do math when your watch does it for you. I call it my TMT (trade mean time) watch, LOL. In FNMA right now, hoping for a positive discovery later this month.

I'm working in oil & gas now and I enjoy it, but there will always be a part of me that will miss the army. I was an 03 as well, and got out after commanding two troops in a RSTA squadron.

Good luck with school.

Congrats! I must admit I was never a big fan of the explorer II, but the more I see the polar explorer II, the more I lean towards wanting one myself!
