Winners of the Arc’teryx Combat Jackets chosen
November 20th, 2009 | Shenanigans | Posted by Rob Curtis
We had a bunch of people asking for these jackets so it was hard to ignore the wittiness of our commentors and choose the winners randomly. But we did. Rolling dice and random number generators are cool, but in the end we wanted a more dramatic mechanism to get our result; random questions to an editor on deadline. We videotaped the event both to prove it’s authenticity and to have as evidence in case it all went wrong.
The winners as chosen randomly by Vago Muradian, the editor of Defense News, are comment numbers 28 and 47. Congrats to John and Rich.

November 20th, 2009 at 18:51I posted comment #47, and if you read it, you’ll see I already own a nearly identical jacket. I’m a Marine Lieutenant, and my wife is a Family Readiness Officer. We’ll be passing this jacket on to a needy and deserving junior-ranking Marine.

If you’re wife decides to have a random drawing for it, let us know and we’ll get another number from Vago.

November 20th, 2009 at 21:59Unbelievable… Who would have know pocket change would influence a decision… hopefully there aren’t too many important decisions being made that way.
Will be worn with pride. Everyone stay safe out there on the job and keep up the good work.
