On Friday I have 4 friends (and myself) being commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the Marine Corps. I am wanting to get them something relatively inexpensive, but something they will use. I am currently thinking of getting them a inexpensive, but decent fountain pen, like a Lamy. I know they are more modern looking, but I have one and use it everyday. Anyway, what to the illustrious gents (and ladies) of the board have to say?
