Great pix guys!
:D

OK people, I ereased that nudie pic on the first post.
The rationale for adding some 'girls' into the Friday pix was to break up the monotony of the weekday pix in celebration of Friday.

If people want to see all skin then they should look up a **** site, not militaryphotos. We still have to maintain a semblance of class here at mp.net so keep the girlie pix to news editorial content or current events, not file NSFW pix. The next person to post a NSFW pix gets to sit in the penalty box! And don't forget about the 10:1 rule.

The 13th Air Assault Support Regiment provides logistic support to the multi-national force in Helmand Province. The British drivers navigate hostile desert terrain to deliver combat supplies, ammunitions, food, water and engineering equipment. During a recent operation, drivers spent 48 hours avoiding enemy forces, mine fields and indirect fire. On return to Camp Bastion, vehicles are serviced immediately for further operations leaving little recreational time for the British soldiers who work in heat reaching 54 degrees celcius and drive on terrain without recognizable roads.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (R) meets with President of Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region Sergei Bagapsh (R) in Gali on July 18, 2008. Abkhaz separatists on Friday rejected a German peace plan aimed at resolving their conflict with Georgia after talks in the volatile region with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier."We have rejected the plan. It's unacceptable for us in part because of the refugee issue," Abkhaz leader Sergei Bagapsh told journalists after meeting Steinmeier, referring to the planned return of 250,000 Georgian refugees.

My Dad, who passed on In January of this year at 80, also had a fake right eye. He was always self-conscious of it, and it receeded further into the eyesocket as he aged....There was alot of care to keep it from becoming infected and it takes alot of patience to clean the area...
This guy deserves our respect, understanding and support, not crude comments...HE sacrificed his eyesight for us... HE'S still apparently in active service despite his sacrifice...so he must feel SOMETHING here was worth the sacrifice. Honor him.

I live like 20 minutes from there. It is really cool sometimes to surf across from PAFB runway and have C17, C130 and P3 Training (they do series of touch and goes and fly away).

I also saw these HH60 Pavehawks on many ocasions fly over my head. These Helicopters even rescue surfers and tourists sometimes... because we don't have a local Coast Guards station (or it is too far away).

this guy is very cool!

can anyone explain why is he taking the enlistment oath?
I presume he is in the US Army, so why take yet another oath?
is it a rule?

once again: those who serve to their country with their health and risk their lifes are cool!
but those who continue serving after being injured are the coolest guys!

When you renew you commitment you renew your enlistment, and are sworn again. The enlistment tend to be any where from 2-6 years for first enlistment, then you have to reenlist ?

Me thinks he thinks he don't care what u think...and THAT'S badass

My Dad, who passed on In January of this year at 80, also had a fake right eye. He was always self-conscious of it, and it receeded further into the eyesocket as he aged....There was alot of care to keep it from becoming infected and it takes alot of patience to clean the area...
This guy deserves our respect, understanding and support, not crude comments...HE sacrificed his eyesight for us... HE'S still apparently in active service despite his sacrifice...so he must feel SOMETHING here was worth the sacrifice. Honor him.

He has my respect man...I honor him totally and completely.
