This post is overdue!

A while ago some great Hogs on this forum donated funds to purchase a knife for my cousin. He had finished Marine Basic, and was in Marine MP school.

He has since finished Marine MP school, and been deployed. They were told likely they would be deployed to the Sand Box, but he got deployed to Okinawa Japan instead.


His family has great taste in guns, but no so much in knives. I have tried to be a good influence (or bad influence depending on how you look at it) on them.

My cousin Robert gave me permission to share these pics, which he sent to my phone. They were in a format that would not let me upload them to Photobucket......but thanks to Mymindisamob who converted them (or waved a magic wand or something????) I am able to share these pics with you.

And give a big thanks to the Hogs who donated (one of which donated a shop credit, and got the ball rolling, is not from the States, but from the Cold, Polite, Canada!)

Thank you:

I would also like to give a big thanks to Amy-0 and anyone at the shop who worked hard to get it done. Robert got the knife very fast, before he finished Marine MP school.


Also a Big shout out to Buy Brown sheaths (David Brown) for donating the sheath, with a very quick turn around!

These are phone pics from his phone that he sent me in a text.


I picked the knife based on feedback from some active duty guys who advised to go without choil.

They picked a good one for him! He looks happy. This kind of stuff that makes this forum and this family great.
 
very nice pic's, now let's see the mean one's.:cool:

i hope it serve's him well in his adventure's abroad.

BF please keep us posted on his progress.
 
This is an awesome story. Big thanks to everyone that helped to make this happen, good on you all.
Thanks for sharing this BigFattyT.

Thanks for your service Robert.
 
Very Cool indeed! We have a great group, protected by great warriors and some of them even have great knives!
 
I will pass along the well wishes. I don't think he took his cell phone on deployment with him, because he did not want to get an international plan. I think he is only on email or skype.
 
Awesome, hope he only has to use it to open letters from home.
 
Excellent choice for a very dedicated young man! I know the Busse will serve him well!

Give him my thanks for his service, when you can!
 
Robert-God Speed and keep you son, Congrats on getting a very fine Busse Combat knife!!!

Not sure what an Marine MP will do in the course of duty over in Okinawa.

My first thought was cleanup from the tsunami, but he will probably be mostly stuck on Okinawa except for leave?

At least he has a top notch sheath to carry it in!!!!
 
I like hearing things like this!! good knives good people...what more can you ask for???
