These would be my picks... For the ones on here, make sure you click a second time on the photo to get the high res version.

Heh, Hood, the "Join the Army Year 2102" picture was meant to be an anti-US Military picture, if you had read the description on the photo presentation page.

:) I know, it still looks very cool. This is a stretch, but if you've seen Jin-Roh, you'll see the great similarities. It's one of my favorite movies to date. A few of the photos in there are from the 2002 military photographer of the year contest run by the military. Can't wait to see what 2003 turns up.

There are a few at specialoperations.com. You kinda have to search for them, I don't remember exactly where they are. And I suck at doing links (illiterate). But the AFSOC one is really good. And some of the art there is good to use, too. Right now I've got SF CQB as my background.

Here's another good one:


Airman 1st Class Brandon Midthun, Aerial Gunner on an MH-53M Pavelowe IV helicopter from the 21st Special Operations Squadron, Royal Air Force Mildenhall, United Kingdom, takes aim with his his .50 caliber tailgun during a combat mission in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Operation Iraqi Freedom is the multi-coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people, eliminate weapons of mass destruction and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.

It's not necessary to use all caps ya know... concerning the images, they're not all in one big directory, they're in a database. Grabbing them all out to send pretty much isn't possible with how it's setup. Here's the image you sent in. Looks good. For future ones, aim for a resolution of 1024x768 or higher, as most people are running at that resolution so it'll make a good desktop background. Thanks.

Peanut, you desktop looks good. Try a bit of humility on for a change though.

Instead of wasting your time posting about it here, go make another one. Make one for every branch perhaps...

Just some friendly help from a designer here. Watch your spacing inbetween photos. Try and keep it a consitent width, maybe 1 or 2 pixels. Make sure that spacing background is all the same color as well.

Hope that helps.

Dear lord, this thread is proper oldschool!:)
Back in the old days when MP.net was hosted under the aixgaming-server (and catered more towards airsofters IIRC) and not it's own domain name...

But epic fail resurrecting it though.:roll:
