Every deployment creates stories that become part of a squadron's legacy. From pre-deployment workups and Composite Training Unit Exercises (COMPTUEX) to overseas cruises, homecomings, Tiger Cruises, change of command ceremonies, retirements, command picnics, and reunion weekends, every milestone is an opportunity to create apparel that strengthens unit pride.
Lucky Shot Tees works with commands to develop shirts for deployment cruises, maintenance departments, aircrew, command physical training, Family Readiness Groups, fundraising events, golf tournaments, holiday celebrations, and alumni reunions.
Years after the deployment has ended, these shirts often become treasured keepsakes that remind Sailors of the friendships they built, the ports they visited, and the missions they accomplished together.
