Good evening, Sir!

Perhaps a TT blue faced sub. After all, Lt. Col is next. A TT will cover both.

It will darn sure match those dress blue colors.

What ever you get, you have earned it! Wear it well.

Thank you for your service.

Great idea! I hadn't thought of a blue faced sub. Thanks to all for your well wishes. It's been 10 years to the month I signed on the dotted line and shipped off to Basic Training. Time has flown by!

Get one with the sunburst dial though. I hear they just switched back.

Pictures do not do this one justice. They sure pop when the sun hits them. I've had this one for about 12 years and it still makes jaws drop everywhere it goes.

That blue dialed YM would be my second choice.

My wife and I are both prior Army. THANK YOU again for your service!

<--- Got this one for my first promotion to airline Captain.

I should have chosen MAJSmith instead of CPTSmith. I don't think I can change it now...
