Is that supposed to make us feel like lesser humans or did you just feel compelled to share your feelings?

if you dont have the face hair in afghanistan bad for two reasons. one is everyone who is "real adult man" has it. hard for some locals to take you seriously if you dont have it. makes things go smoother on the "talking man to man" deal. other and most important reason is you stick out like a sore thumb at a couple hundred meters as a "westerner" if you dont have it. makes it easier to id you as a "pot shot" target or id you period. i always trimmed the beard a little and kept the fumanchu as crazy looking as possible. :)

Sandman....what they are doing is a TON of fun.

SPIE rigging....speacial purpose insertion and extraction.

Basically everyone just hooks up and a helo takes you were you need to go without landing.


that is a cool shot over a carrier though.

what gunslinger said. two guys furthest down might be eod. jump helmet on one and tactical gloves on the other. top guy on rigging is aviator or nfo? looks like a squadron patch on right shoulder and flight helmet with a camo cover?
