Well, I suppose fun and frustration get intermingled here, but I wouldn't try to change things. We all know that military orders take precedence, as they should. I know that when I was in VietNam I would have LOVED to have had a Scrap Yard blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Instead, we carried whatever we could afford to get or what our families sent to us, whether it was a Buck, Case, Gerber, Kabar, or whatever. I just hope that the "Grunts" are getting the good blades instead of the "rear echelon"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> Long live the Grunts!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom
