StoleIt Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Get him a mounted gun barrel. If its and Eagle or a Viper you can get one of the 6 barrels from the gun, mount it on a piece of wood (sts) and put an engraving on it. Never seen a mounted gun barrel from a hog but I'm sure it's possible. It looks awesome. BeerMan There is a GAU-8A barrel from an A-10 at the O-club in Columbus.

Varmint Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Where are you stationed? A few years ago our outgoing Sq/CC got a green fee at Pinehurst No. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol-IEWO Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It was a wood carving of two elephants in the pose. The one on top was labeled as the Wing CC, the other was labeled xxxth Wing. It was presented to him in remembrance of his always challenging us and prodding us to excel while our perception was somewhat different. The Wing was an outstanding Wing so it was a gag gift, not an insult. He kept it on his desk for the few days before he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 When our Wing CC retired, the Ops group actually had a HUD combining glass, frame and all, mounted on a wooden base and engraved. The glass was etched with all the appropriate HUD symbology and a Viper in the pipper (we're an Eagle Guard unit). It was badass and a really cool going away gift. He also got a chromed gun barrel on a plaque, which was killer looking, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Many years ago when the Chief of our AMU (he was a great guy) retired as a gag gift he was given a broken clock with a picture of our less than stellar the OIC on it with the enscription "When time stood still". Unconfirmed rumors stated that said OIC was removed from office due to our stats being in the toilet and he was reassigned duties handing out rental cars to TDY units. Again, unconfirmed. After he was replaced all of our stats exceeded the charts in less than 60 days after the change over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sBlind Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the inputs, lads! So, I need 2 statues of elephants doing the deed with no knowledge of time on a gun barrel getting drunk and driving in a travel pod, all laser etched into the HUD. Perfect. He'll never forget us. 2'sBlind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
