Omega SMP 300 2023

The NCOIC of the 21 gun salute at President Carter's State Funeral, Guns Platoon, 1st Battalion, 3d Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard. His howitzers fired over January snow with the Capitol dome behind them, the report rolling across the same ground where the nation says its formal goodbyes. His last duty station before leaving the Army, and a hell of a way to close it out. He also filed a wrist report from the detail: a Rolex Submariner on the OIC, a Stirling on one Soldier, a Sangin Atlas on another, and his own Omega Seamaster 300M facing the dome. The salute battery, it turns out, is a watch unit. What was the last thing you did in uniform? If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Omega Seamaster Professional 300M, 2023 The current Seamaster 300M carries Omega's METAS certified Master Chronometer caliber 8800 inside the classic wave dial formula: ceramic bezel, skeleton hands, a date at six, and 300 meters of water resistance. It is a dive watch that has spent thirty years being photographed in dress settings, which made it exactly right for a duty station where the uniform is history itself. Guns Platoon, The Old Guard The 3d Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard, is the Army's oldest active infantry regiment and its official ceremonial unit, keeper of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and executor of the nation's state ceremonies. Guns Platoon is built from the battalion's mortarmen and fires the cannon salutes for arrivals, honors, and funerals in the National Capital Region while keeping its infantry tasks current. The submitter served as NCOIC of the 21 gun salute for President Carter's State Funeral, the highest ceremonial salute the nation renders, fired in cold January air with the Capitol in the frame. It was his final duty station before ETS. Some soldiers leave the Army quietly. His exit had cannon.
