Here are a few from my last deployment, Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan, haven't even been home a week yet :) The two group pictures are self explanatory, team pictures. The explosion is a claymore, my buddy took the picture, him and another guy on the team set off something like 9 claymores within a few minutes, figure they gave themselves TBI from it, the truck in the back got jacked up from being so close, the windshield spiderwebbed pretty bad, the rear view mirror flew off and I'm sure there was other damage, still drivable though. The picture of the monkeys (not sure what kind) was the result of what happens when you ask a Provincial Chief of Police/ local Warlord/ multimillionaire if there are any monkeys in the area, he made a call and they were there at the police station in less than an hour.

Sometimes, when you're out of ammo, a Nazi will improvise with a rock.
 
Just another day at the office:

From my helmet cam (which is now in a million pieces somewhere in Italy...). Shooting GAU-2s:

Deck landings off the coast of San Diego... Even the Navy dudes said we do it better than they do! ;)

This is a pic one of the civilian rescuers did when we went out to do a civil SAR mission in AZ. Young Game & Fish female fell from a cliff when inspecting a falcon nest:

This one is hard to see but was taken by a friend of mine on chk 2 while I was doing an open ocean hoist:

I got it backwards didn't I? You can tell by the helmet, the Nazi has the rifle . . . No?
 
Awesome photos. here's mine:



Took it while my scout team was walking back from the Pak border in 2008.

the climb sucked, but the view was extraordinary.

They did this in WWI to try to locate a sniper. It was more mechanical where they would put a dowel through the hole to show the exact ballistics. Hard to do (I'm sure) with a wood stick because it turns as opposed to being cranked up a shaft . . .

God bless our soldiers who put it all on the line when its so . . . easy to take for granted (to put it lightly).

took me a while to get them online the original pics were over 3 feet long and i had to scan them a little at a time and paste them together.
the pics were from my mother in-laws uncle. his last name was Borden, he is in the pics but i don't know which one he is.

I've been quietly enjoying these pictures, thank you all for posting them, but this one was posted and I just have to ask. If the majority of the underside of the plane is smooth, why is there one small dent in the bottom by the US symbol(the star in the circle)? Looks like someone landed too hard or a bird thunked it at mach something

IMO It's not a dent, it's a protrusion. Its to make room for the landing gear.

That last one right there, seems to be my "favorite'est" field gun. By a long shot. (pun intended) What would it take to get a spent casing from one of those? Even more desirable would be one of those 'shot cups' from the frag/flechette(?) round that was spoken of before.
 
This might not be epic to you guys but it was for me. This was one of the longer firefights we had, and I had already gone thru most of my ammo. You can see the belt of ammo left in the SAW was all I had left and my guys were throwing me magazines....crazy day, thank God none of our guys got hurt in this one.

Sorry if the pic is huge, first time.

To clarify to all, the soldier throwing the rock is indeed a Fallschirmjager. The pants bloused into the boots and the large, lengthened, highly distinctive camouflaged coat, are part of their uniform.

I have no idea who the soldier is(or what country he is fighting for) that he is throwing a rock at, but Fallschirmjagers were only used in a few operations(in comparison to the rest of the German Army), so it shouldn't be so hard as to find the other soldier's country of origin based off of times, and locations, when and where, German Airborne forces were used.
 
Was on this Deployment with the Midway. I remember the day of this photo like it was yeterday. Sailing with the Mighty Mo was the hilight of my career. Thank you for the memories !!!

How I spent part of a summer back in 1988 - escorting re-flagged tankers up through the lovely Straits of Hormuz. Not one of the ships pictured still in commission...
