My dad teaches tactical medicine to top military branches around the world, as well as different countries Secret Services. No I'm not jealous. There are a thousand thing's I'd rather have my parents spend 1.5k on then a lot of ski gear. And it's not fair that your dad was probably babied, and mommy and daddy put him through medical ski. The world is fucked, no need to be a rich, arrogant, asshole, douchebag that flaunts his middle/upper class status to everybody with fucking ears.
