Hello from an undisclosed location in Iraq...
Hi everyone,
My name is Matt. I am a US Army Infantry Officer currently serving my second tour in Iraq. If I make it out of this tour alive (which should be much easier than last time due to my new job) then I am going to reward myself with a GMT IIc. My Father in Law Purchased a Pepsi GMT for himself after his first tour in Vietnam and has carried it ever since. He paid about $400 for it then. Seems like a sound investment to me. I've really enjoyed reading these forums and can't wait to get to know everyone. Respectfully, 1LT Matthew Martinez 2-28 IN "Black Lions" |

Welcome to TRF. The GMT-C would be a great one to get. Too bad it is no where close to $400, but it is worth the price.
Thanks for serving.
