Graduation Gifts?

[JPilot9]

What are some common (and not-so-common) gifts to newly winged aviators? My family has been asking for several ideas, but I'm the guy who doesn't really ever want anything.

Suggestions?

Nothing for you, apparently.

My family gave me a nice watch. Other than that, I can only think of booze.

Something strange, for you...

I know right? I would've been much happier with a trip to Thailand and a gift card redeemable for one Soapy Soap. Don't think the wife would've liked that though...

My family bought me 24K Gold Naval Aviator wings. Another gift was an aviation clock, very nice actually. That or a nice call girl should do...

+1 on the call girl.

My family is a bunch of hippies. The fact I didn't get disowned was the only gift I recieved.

Take the clock over gold wings.....

But chicks LOVE when you wear the wings to the bar!

You'd take the clock over the girl too no doubt

I got an embroidered helmet bag and pubs kit...I use them every day, so I think it was a good call.

We're AF, we already have the girls. Thats an assumed. Just look at the fighter video I posted in General Topics.

Maybe wings engraved with your name and graduation date. I've seen some that had more than one generation engraved on the back.

Thats good. I mean, it's better than the skirts that Viper guys normally merit........

Yeah, it's a real pain when you eat out with Mike. The girls keep coming up and asking him if he's a fighter pilot.:rotfl:

I thought Mike was saying the AF is an all chick service?

I am kidding. Well, okay, so you don't look the fighter pilot part.

Just our space/missiles force.

I'll be in Tucson in a few weeks and we can discuss the merits of that statement over a beer.
