High school Graduation gifts

I thought I read somewhere that a head lamp was a good gift for cadets? Is that true?

Yup, red lens only though

My mom got me a good leatherman which I had up until a year ago when I broke it on an aircraft. It was a fantastic gift

I have to ask. What were you doing to the aircraft when it broke?!

Yup, red lens only though

Do you use it at Beast?

I wouldn't know, but that's what I've heard

I think I was trying to jimmy open a really stubborn tail rotor drive shaft cover that a crew chief had put the wrong type of Zeus fastener to replace the quick release fastener we normally use. There may have been better ways to go about what I was doing but it all worked out haha

Fun fact though! Leatherman guarantees their products for life and will replace the broke tool free of charge!

Do you use it at Beast?

Yes, they can use it for beast in the field or in the case when they didn’t lock doors every night and they had to stay open for spot checks to make sure you were actually sleeping, under the covers at night to write letters at home

Although it was a Christmas gift, we got our boys Bose QC35 noise canceling headsets. With the noise in the dorms, they said it was a game changer for studying. They wish they had them from the beginning.
