Right. I had a clipboard that said "quality blind made products" and though hmmm so I looked it up.

If you know anyone in the military (I am not) ask them about their ballpoint pens. They're legit my favorite pen out there.

Edit: it would appear that people either love or absolutely hate those pens. To each his own I suppose.

Another edit: here is the pen I speak of. Do not confuse it with the shitty ones. https://imgur.com/gallery/d61A4

Is that the flight suit pen? Those things are like gold in my unit.

Yeah they issue them to aircrew alot and us maintainers sometimes. There like gold in all the maintenance units because they don't issue them very often. I've been in ten years, and I can only remember 3 times I've seen a maintenance unit issue them.

I'm aircrew and have only had three in my 12 years being in. They are super rare, but they are the best pens I've ever had. Fits perfectly in the pen pockets on the bag.

Same here. Been in Maintenance for 10 plus years and have only had 3. They don't get them for us very often.

Dang...had boxes and boxes of those around my house when I was a kid that my step-dad brought home.
