I heard that if everyone comes out to support our veterans, you are going in for a buzz cut. Is this true??

JC,
I'm afraid you might have suffered some hearing lose during all those deep dives, I think I said if everyone comes out to support our troops it would create quite the buzz around the tiki hut.
For the sake of my pony tail you really need to get that hearing thing looked at.

Thanks for your interest in SUDS and OBT. At this point, OBT is all set for instructors and helpers for the checkout dives.... But PLEASE sign up for and come dive with everyone the days that there are open to the public dives - https://reservations.scubaboard.com/...m?master_id=18... Also - Sign up for the dinner, and come and join and meet everyone involved!
We are bringing 8 wounded warriors from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC down to Key Largo from 17-24 May. This is an open charter & we need to fill the boats. If you would like to support our injured veterans you can do so by joining us for this event. More info is on our website: SUDS Diving > Welcome to SUDS
Best,
John
A Challenge to SB members. SUDS is a great organization (but they may be too polite to ask for $$)
I was introduced to the good work they do through JC's post on scubaboard earlier this year. Being land locked in Sun Valley Idaho I can't make it down to sunshine Key Largo but I just visited the SUDs DIVING website and made a quick paypal donation. SUDS Diving > Welcome to SUDS
If you're passionate about Scuba and doing something worthwhile I would encourage you to take just a second and join in their efforts by making a donation. It would be great to see 100 SB community members pony up with a donation for this event and to also show our commitment for the work they do with these deserving soldiers.
Just a little donation from many goes a long way, ($5- $10- $20- $100 whatever)
If you make a donation just respond on this post (keep amounts anonymous) and lets see if we can get 100 members to do it!!!
It would be nice if the govenment could handle this, but they can't. It is up to our community to do something. Unfortunately, SUDS needs support, and money to put these veterans in the water. I would urge everyone to do what they can. If you can come down to the Keys for OTB, please come.
The veterans who are in the SUDS program have been seriously wounded. They probably don't need to learn to scuba dive? But they do need to know that Americans care about them and that we appreciate their sacrifice and their struggle to recover. Their rehabilitation is more about support and less about training. If the dive community can support these determined divers, we will probably get more out of this than the veterans will?
I could not agree more. 98 to go.
