Maybe they do have some kind of agreement with surefire but that's what my nephew told me. It's probably the Navy's way of trying to save money and cut costs. He's coming here on vacation in June so it will be interesting what he brings us as gifts. I always tell him not to bother but he never listens. I raised him so maybe that's why he buys me nice gifts. Last year he got me a 42" sony lcd tv and blueray player. I guess you could say that I raised him well. :bigsmile:
You got me there!! :D I am at work now, and just mounted my two Keygos Ke-5s on my 89 Centurion Ironman Master. And believe you me, I'd be one hot cookie if anybody stole any of that. That goes for the lights and/or the bike. BTW, everything stays close to me. I am in my cube typing this and my bike is about 3 feet away.. Life is dam sweet!!
On the $800 lights, I was just curious because of the high price. I dunno!!
On the graph. If you remember the good days under Clinton when the economy was booming we had no debt increase. Love him or not, he knew economics better than any president we have ever had. Sadly, I don’t think Obama has the economic chops to match what Clinton did. Even more sadly, we will be at war over oil until it runs out or we find another fuel.
It probably was a surefire that cost $300. But, do you guys realize how expensive shipping to our military in the middle east is? From what I remember, it costs $18 to transport a $4 gallon of gas during peace to Iraq. Costs $42 a gallon to send it further in. And can cost around $600 to send it in to a hostile environment...IT'S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE! Cost several hundred thousand dollars to transport a humvee to iraq also...
So, that may be the reason the flashlight was so expensive
Wait, you are 70+, still working, do a lot of sports and turn into the black hulk when someone puts hands on your bikes? Dayum you remind me of my grandpa! :P
