Rick Writes:

Dave,

Just got my rig in yesterday and it is the shit. I had it wrapped as a gift from Santa on Christmas. I was hoping to break it in at Balikitan 2007 in the Phillpines but it has been canceled for everybody because they have that Marine in custody. I got approval from my higher to wear it so all is good.

Merry Christmas

Rick

Good afternoon Dave,

Well….your UFD was a success!

We tested it during a simulated panicked diver situation and it worked great. The instructor who assisted me and was taking photos said, “Sold. How do I get one.”
