I'm curious how many BF members are Active Duty Military. So I pose the following questions:

rotor, you are a helo crewchief with 18 years in, and they told you you can't carry a multi-tool???
 
yea a few people lose or misplace theirs and now they say they cant be effectively accounted for and the multi tools become a FOD hazard
 
I'm not active anymore. I retired after 20 years in the Coast Guard--but we also served. Carried many, many different knives during that time but always had a multitool with me (Leatherman).

Nice thread.
 
Good to see the Coast Guard chime in. I did a 30 day deployment this summer in the Bahamas and provided and received support from the Coasties. What a great group of guys to work with. They went out of their way to take care of the needs (read beer) of a bunch of thirsty Marines and SeaBees. As far as knives, the helo pilots all had Spyderco Rescues, and a lot of the Coast Guard crew had AFCKs.

Now where are the Marines?
 
Lets see...

Five years Army Intelligence Analysis and Intercept.
Last seven years Coast Guard my job specialty has gone from
Radioman (RM) to Telecommunications Specialist (TC)and I will end my career as an Information Technologist (IT). Except for three years on a Cutter (Ship) I have alway been computer network weenie.

I would like to have a Chinook or a BM 710. Or any quality knife I don't have right now.
