Retirement Oars

[srtjfdhgarland]

I didn't know exactly where to go for this, but I'm a high school student and one of my NJROTC instructors is retiring and I was wondering where I could buy one of those retirement oars that I could get laser engraved. The only place that I find one is at: http://www.thenauticalrealm.com/oar_plaques.htm, but they're out closed for Thanksgiving. Do you guys know any other place where I could order one? Thanks

How soon is your instructor retiring? Not the week after Thanksgiving I'd hope. Basically how much time are you looking at?

His last day will be 18 December. I was hoping I would be able to present to him on 2 December, but if not, I can do it some other date

Here's two links that may help. Cutting it close on time though.

If he can't help, try looking through here:

The only oars I have seen given have been from guys who use them (i.e. Spec Ops). Not saying you can't give him an oar, I just don't think it is common to get one if it is not from a Spec Ops command/team. Just do a plaque with the Officer crest or something along those lines.
