mmckenna, I see an opportunity in it for you: Merit badges for the vests. You could be the one to distribute the "I Drilled the Damn Hole" merit badges!
I like it!
Where do I apply for that particular merit badge? I went ahead and drilled the damn hole in my F150 and I'm happier for it (so is my Icom ID5100).
Of course, it's a used truck (I wouldn't drill a new truck until it was paid off), but still...
