The only other guy I knew who wore one regularly was a deputy sheriff in north Louisiana; excellent cop, good guy, but not a drop of HSLD in him. Mine was coveted by some; when I got alerted for Desert Storm, several of my "buddies" insisted that I will that watch to them; plus, I had just gotten a new unit (which of course I had to turn in) and these "buddies" were trampling each other to get my new state ride assigned to them. What pals, eh?:D I should note here that LSP552 was NOT one of the vultures circling… he was properly concerned, bless his heart.
