VAMPIRE ETT Wants YOU!
Now’s your chance to get your own little piece of FOB Bermel
and help out a great organization, no not the ETT somebody else! Read on and you shall see.
Upon my return to the FOB, thus concluding my journey across the Styx; I was greeted by a large brown box containing our unit t-shirts. We’d ordered these to replace the ghetto unit t-shirts created by infringing upon the Bacardi trademark and a can of black spray paint. Classy is an understatement.
Bacardi you can sue me if you want but you're going to have to get someone to come over here and serve me. So good luck with that.
Well, the new shirts are HOT and going like gangbusters
here! Not approved by DOD, DA but feared by the ACM.
The design was originally created by SFC Mike “SWEATY” Kennedy, an NCO from the Nevada National Guard. A great tattoo artist if you ever need a tattoo and are in Reno, NV.
Vision Strikewear out of Portland, OR took the design and ran with it creating a superb shirt. Vision is owned by a group of Marines doing their part to class up the war zone and make an honest living. These boys need no federal bailout money they're working like the highly motivated Devildogs they are and doing it on their own. The result is below:
Here’s the great part!
Vision has agreed to sell our shirts on their website and donate $5 to Soldiers Angels/ Web of Support for each and every VAMPIRE shirt they sell. Soldiers Angels/ Web of Support is an outstanding organization supporting deployed troops. Check out their site at soldiersangels.org to see the great work that they’re doing.
So here comes the close. Now you can own a T-shirt, designed by a Veteran, made by Veterans and sold to support and organization doing incredible things for Veterans. You just can’t beat that deal, joint warfare at it's finest!
Become an honorary VAMPIRE and support the fine organization that support us. We really appreciate everything they’ve done for us and this is just a small thing we can do to show our gratitude.

Nice work fellas. 6, your SFC sounds like a true poet warrior, or at least , artist warrior. My senior medic, SFC Ben, his aunt is a member of the soldiers angels. He is all pumped about ordering one now.Yeh, well, we will have to chat about playing for the Bears and wearing Packers gear. 7 out.

I wish I would have known about this company on my last deployment. Now I know who to go to next time. Thanks Vampires!

Those designs really came out great! - If I don't say so myself... The front pocket design(skull)looks a bit different then the submitted design. Hope all is well - "Sweaty".

Glad to hear you made it through fobbit land intact. I was starting to wonder when we'd hear from you. Stay frosty and keep up the good work. We're praying for you & your team!
And great looking shirts. I see one of their EM (SS) shirts I'm going to have to get.

Thanks for the shirts--I order two. One for me and one for my daughter to wear to her JROTC PT events.
Be careful over there.

WOw, this is absolutely impressive! Just in the process of ordering one for my husband! Thanks fella's great work!

"Oderint dum Metuant" = "May they hate while they fear" - whatever that means. Maybe there's a more colloquial translation.

Something like: "They may hate [us], but they will fear [us]."..
What ever... I think they'll get the message once the ordonance starts to rain on them...
Great shirts, hell of a job to get them shipped to Europe though.. Go Vampires, whatever you'll leave, the Hund will chew up...

My husband is now a proud owner of a Vampire shirt! They are of great quality and the fellas at Vision are so nice and helpful!

I love this shirt! Too bad they dont make kid sizes, although, I dont know if it would be appropriate for my 5 year old to wear a shirt with a risque, gun toting vampiress on the front...hmmmm
