Oh well. Good photo posting, anyhow.
Thanks these views.. Happy New Year.!
I don’t think those are just regular sailors... probably more like SEALs.
hahahaha that joke made my day :P
If they're spotted with that ordnance aboard by the U.S. Air Force, it'll give new meaning to the nickname for the nameplate on that truck: "Found On Road Dead."
Hope your New Year is blessed, sir.
Thanks so much for posting. Happy New Year to you and yours!!
Those are Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewman. Bad a$$ boat guys. If you youtube search for SWCC, you will be impressed.
I think they go for only slightly different training than SEALs.
Thanks for the APOD link!
You are quite welcome! As you might guess, APOD is one of my favorite websites...
