Military Photo Thread

[stig]

OK, I know that there are many of our members here at CS that have been or are currently serving in a branch of the armed forces both here in the U.S. and abroad. I want to say thank you to each and everyone of you and hope that you will all take a moment to post a picture of yourself here in uniform and be recognized. Pleas post your name, branch of service, rank, where you are or were stationed and any other information that you would like. And to all of you I want to say thank you for all that you do, for all that you give and all the sacrifices that you make. I hope that ther will be good number of photos in here, it would be nice to see this thread get huge before veterans day. Also, if there is a member of the Jungle who may no longer be with us, and they served feel free to recognize them here as well.

Thanks for this starter thread. We in the Forces really appreciate all the support that we recieve. I am SPC J. McDaniel of the Maryland Army National Guard. I am currently still in the states. Most likely will be sent out next spring. But I do have many of my military brothers and sisters in the sand box now. DArn my pics are to big I will fix and post em later.

Larry Faulkner Navy served 1980-2000, many duty stations I was aircrew. My favorite was as a c-130 flight engineer with operation deep freeze flying in antarctica. Flew to the south pole many times. There were days that I couldn't believe they were actually paying me to have that much fun.

Thank you both. Hope you can both gt pictures up.

Wow no one is replying. Great idea for a thread so I'll post up my ugly mug. I was in the U.S. Army from April 97 - 06, the little girl is my daughter and it had been about 14 months since I've seen her. She the reason why I decided it was time to get out. I do miss being in but I really enjoy seeing my family at the end of the day.



Take care of yourselves and your fellow service men/women for those that are still serving.

So lets see a picture before you leave.

Thank you guys for this thread. It's good to finally see my fellow B/SOTL's in uniform. Due to the restrictions of my job, I can't say as much as I'd like; here goes: my name's Nick, I'm a Sergeant in the Marine Corps and as soon as I get home I'll post a pic (hopefully). Once again thanks to all the service members!

I just wanted to remind everyone of OPSEC and INFOSEC when posting photos of yourself and your Military units. CS is a close family, but you can never be to careful.

Come on folks, I know there are more veterans on the boards than this. Today would be a great day to post pics of yourself in uniform and let us al say thank you.

Thank you for your service.

I will smoke a nice stogie in honor of all the vets on CS tonight.

I think many of them are too humble to put themselves out there for us to thank.

They do things, some of us can't even dream of doing. They spend ungodly amounts of time away from their families. They are woefully underpaid.

My Dad spent 40 years in the service (6 Navy 34 Air Force Resevres) and while he never had to put it on the line, I got to know many of his friends who did...

Thanks to each and every uniform wearing memeber of the service. From the flyboys to the jarheads, no matter why they do what they do, they deserve our thanks today.

I just got out, no thanks needed; I had too much fun to be thanked! In fact, thank you (taxpayers) for paying for my education! Here's one of my favorite pictures from Iraq. I'm holding the picture of Saddam, and one of my team leaders is pulling security on the dirtbag for me! I was an 82nd Airborne guy, and I loved my time in the service, but I'm definitely having a lot of fun as a civilian now!
