Military Sea Hawkers
The military chapter of the official booster club of the Seattle Seahawks
Well, well, well. It’s only been three months now since the Seahawks won the Super Bowl and I’m just now finally getting around to sending out a newsletter. This may have been the longest drought in the recent history of the club!
Hopefully most have you have been keeping up via Facebook and Twitter and getting some of the emails I’ve shared from our Sea Hawkers Central Council president about some of the Sea Hawkers events.
What’s really been keeping me from my usual Military Sea Hawkers duties has been finalizing our coins, patches and our latest round of ball caps. They’ve finally all arrived and everything is looking great. In fact, all of the pre-orders that were paid for have now shipped!
What a great offseason it has been. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of watching teh NFL Network and hearing “The Seattle Seahawks are the 2014 Super Bowl Champions” at nearly every commercial break.
Check out some of the news from the team to the right. It was great to see the photos of the Lombardi trophy visiting the local VA hospital. Also, your votes helped JBLM earn funds through the USAA Million Fan Salute.
In club news, the Sea Hawker All Club banquet is coming up. See the event link for more details. Tickets are $41 per person, children are half price, and all guests attending the banquet must be members of one of the Sea Hawkers clubs (just a heads up if you had planned to attend with a non-military friend or spouse).
Even if you can’t attend, you’re welcome to join the raffle. Tickets are $2 and prizes include an autographed replica jersey, autographed football, and 16×20 Percy Harvin photo. Contact michael.westfall@hotmail.com if you’re interested in buying tickets via PayPal.
The 2014 NFL Draft is only a few days away! Rumor has it that one of our Military Sea Hawkers members may be annoucing one of the selections! If so, I’ll send along details so folks can watch for it.
This offseason is just cruising along. It’s going to be preseason in August before we know it.
GO HAWKS!!!

Sea Hawkers podcast: Episode 29
The release of the 2014 Seahawks Schedule motivates Brandan and Adam to get together after a month hiatus to talk Hawks. The guys give their initial reactions to the schedule and look ahead to some of the biggest matchups.
It’s not long before the guys the bored with schedule talk and begin to discuss the trade for Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor and the re-signing of Sidney Rice. An email prompts a discussion on Marcus Trufant’s retirement announcement and the reports that Richard Sherman could be looking at a long-term contract soon.
With the NFL Draft coming up, Adam wants to get his opinion on the record that Johnny Manziel will be a bust of Ryan Leaf proportions. Brandan offers up ways to enjoy the NFL Draft between the Seahawks selections by listening carefully to how analysts talk about the next flock of stars the draft will appear to be littered with.
Gene Hushak, Sea Hawkers Central Council President drops in for his first appearance on the show to talk about upcoming Sea Hawkers events.
The do better segment features a man trying to sue the Seahawks for $50 million for being excluded from the NFC Championship ticket sales and his attempt to visit “Quest Stadium.” Adam takes a shot at TMZ for their coverage of the “suspicious incident” Colin Kaepernick and Ricardo Lockette were involved in.
Finally, Better at Life features Sidney Rice and the conditions surrounding his return to the team and an anonymous 12 who saved a life during a 12k run near the Seahawks practice facility.
