                  here's my first world problem. do I buy:

                  PS4 slim

                  or

                  SEXIH07IIIBK modified od type3 from Self Edge?

                  Of course, I want both but arguments could be made for either. The PS4 would be nice to have for those days when I don't have my son with me, and it's been a long time since i've had a new console. The downside is that I don't want my son asking me what it is and getting sucked into video games at his age (he's 4.5 yo).

                  Likewise, i've been wanting a modified od type3 since I saw the bsp 14oz version at SE but their new 18oz od type3 looks amazing. The downside to the SEXIH07IIIBK is that I wouldn't be able to wear it for 3-4 months.

                  WTB:
                  IHSH-129 size L (blue)
                  IHSH-19

                        I won't allow this to be classified as a "First World Problem".

                                          One thing that's nice is that I usually have internet access though because of my rank. I guess somebody thinks I'm important. I've got those tossers fooled, but I'm not saying a word  😶

                                          We gave up booze a long time ago, and at the time the Secretary of the Navy was named Joe something-something, and they used to say that the strongest thing we were allowed to drink on a ship was coffee, and it was dubbed "a cup of Joe."

                                            This is great stuff @seawolf . Fascinating. We need to get you on an IH tour. Love to see a month in the life of a Senior Chief.

                                            Two questions: Do you get to wear civvies (IH) on your down time? Do you get to work with your leather onboard?
