Bravo Zulu. Tell the senior chief welcome to the fleet reserve for me. I retired off the Kennedy at Mayport in 2000. It seems so long ago now. I really miss the chief's mess.

MMC (SW) Greg Coleman USN RET.

P.S. Where do you get the clips?
 
Very nice indeed.

Where did you get the decal, or how did you make the decal? I have a few pens that I would like to put a decal on but haven't the slightest clue where to begin.
 
I print my own decals. Hobby Lobby sells decal paper where the car models are. Buy the Kit they have to get your feet wet. Then you can order other decal paper in bigger sheets. I have a ink jet printer. Make sure you get the correct paper for your printer. Any questions give me a shout.

Nice pen!

My dad was a retired Chief. Master ship fittter on sub tenders. He did two stints from 1942 to 1963. Departed this world in 2004.

Great thanks!! I will give this a try in the near future.

Do you apply CA first to get a nice level surface, then the decal, then more CA? Or just the decal then CA to finish it?
