The Grenade Family set out ten years ago to dominate the snowboarding world with an underground grassroots approach that started with a Grenade stencil. The movement was small, but welcoming to those with the right kind of eyes. 

Headquartered in the Northwest, they continue their trendsetting legacy from signature gloves and outerwear to street gear and accessories. No suits, no ties. Just unparalleled style, functionality, and dedicated to core riders around the globe. They work hard, party harder and spit in excess, but remain true to the Grenade way of life by having fun and popping bottles. 

If joining the Grenade army is your cup of tea, the dope Grenade Army Corps Jacket will make you the General of the Slopes. The removable liner provides extra warmth and comfort while the 5k waterproofing keeps you dry during all of your runs. Available in four colors, the Army Corps Jacket will give you instant credibility on the hill. 

For the shredding lady, the Grenade Sparkler Jacket is super fresh and clean. The sparkling exterior will keep her blinging even on the black diamond runs. The lined and filled Sparkler Jacket offers 8k breathability and 5k waterproofing with a full hood. Rock out to your tunes pumping through the media player pocket with headphone loops.

On the long-running outdoor series “*M*A*S*H*,” Father Francis John Patrick Mulcahy was arguably the most courageous and adventurous character in the whole show. As played by actor William Christopher, Father Mulcahy was the Army Chaplain for the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, providing spiritual guidance to the patients, doctors and support staff. That didn’t mean, however, that he couldn’t kick butt when he needed to.

Because he was amateur boxer in his civilian life, the pressures of working with broken bodies and young, dying soldiers sometimes made Father Mulcahy want to take a swing at someone. In fact, during one episode, after a wounded soldier hits him squarely on the jaw, the Chaplain reacts instinctively, flattening his attacker with one punch.

At other times, Father Mulcahy is called upon to perform an emergency tracheotomy in an area where no doctors are available. When supplies run low, he often negotiates with black market traders, attempting to get boxes of penicillin in exchange for booze, chocolate and other hard-to-get items. Father Mulcahy even lends a hand in the operating room, but he does have to perform the Last Rites after a soldier dies on the table.

Father Mulcahy’s greatest act of bravery occurs in the episode entitled “An Eye for a Tooth.” While his friends at the 4077th play practical jokes on each other, the Chaplain fights off the frustration of being passed over for promotion yet again. Despite his anger, when a helicopter pilot has to go retrieve a wounded soldier, Father Mulcahy volunteers to act as a human counterweight on the trip. This means he has to lie on a stretcher on the struts of the helicopter to keep the ship balanced in the air. Mulcahy survives the flight, but his lunch ends up in the latrine.

Originally portrayed as a gentle character, this two-fisted priest shows time and again that he has the right stuff. Father Mulcahy never has a shortage of kind words or bravery during his years in Korea, and that easily makes him the toughest character on “M*A*S*H.”
