Well Im happy to say I just bought my dad aGMT with a pepsi insert. I'm not giving it to him till Christmas. My dad is a retired NFO "Naval Flight Officer" he retire in 1992 and thought Christmas was close enough to his 20 years of retirement.

My sister is going to help me put together a little folder together that we will have a letter of appreciation from us for his service in the Navy and as a father. A letter of thanks from my sister and I for guidance with our naval careers. A list of his naval achievements, duty stations, and with the info from TRF the history of the GMT

What a nice gesture!

You should let him have it before Christmas. He'll start enjoying right away instead of having to wait 4 more months.

Very thoughtfull, and one heck of a great present to recieve from ones kids.

Time2time · 20 August 2011, 06:32 AM

What a fantastic thought.

Great present, nice watch.

hwyrnr · 20 August 2011, 06:33 AM

He can wait. When I was 15 he made me wait to get my first car

girltime · 20 August 2011, 06:40 AM

The perfect gift for your dad. He is going to be so surprised and thankful.

Nice.

Jason71 · 20 August 2011, 06:46 AM

That is really cool. Kudos to you

I learned one lesson the hard way here, and it is that you should make sure you know what the guy will like. I got my dad a nice SS watch, and he never wears it -- ever. It's a total waste of a good watch, sitting there going to rot. Beware.

Captain Kirkwood · 20 August 2011, 06:53 AM

Very nice! I'm sure he will love it.

SALTY · 20 August 2011, 07:02 AM

Very, very nicely done!

Godspeed to your father (and you); please thank him for his service to us all.

TheVTCGuy · 20 August 2011, 07:42 AM

VERY VERY Cool James!

What Squadron(s) was your father in and what aircraft did he fly? Where was he stationed? Mirimar? North Island? Oceana? I might know him.

Dad did his whole career with VQ-4 up in the North East I was still young for that one. He then was VQ-3 at Barbers Point, Hawaii, then went to ACSC "Air Command Staff College in Montgomery Alabama, then back to Barbers point VQ-3, he was then the XO of the YN school at Meridian, Mississippi where he retired. And then went to StratComm Wing one "VQ-3, VQ-4" in OKC, Ok as a civilian. Oh and C-130's were the aircraft.
