Here is a shot of mine and some of the changes I did to it over the years. Most people think of that movie funny thing the PBR that was in the movie I was in a UNIT that used those boats into the 1990's a shot of me trying to look like a bad ass.

I was wearing a Seiko when the photo was taken not a 6105.
Here is a shot of my 6105 before I relumed it due to water damaged hands

Here is a Olongapo bracelet I had made for it with the NEC 9533 pin for combatant craft crewmember and crossed anchors for Boatswain Mate.

At one time the pin has changed and the qualication is tougher today it was on the job training with a det for a year then a test to qualify for your NEC 9533 for combatant craft crewman when I qualified. Now you go to school that is tougher training and the name changed from special boat unit to special boat teams I guess we kept it alive after the Vietnam war. Got a reunion comming up in Reno in September wiil be great seeing friends from SBU XI
