Soldier Humor
Soldiers tend to have an odd sense of humor. Sometimes they’re amused by seemingly insignificant things. Since all of my security personnel have been in the military prior to becoming contractors, they act just like soldiers most of the time. On our vehicles, we have signs warning civilians to stay back. I noticed this “unauthorized” patch on one of the team member’s uniforms.
I guess the custom patches attracted a little too much attention. Within a couple of hours after returning from the mission where I took that photo, then team leaders were reminding everyone that only official patches are authorized on their uniforms.
If you click on the photo above, you’ll notice that I’ve added an image popup tool to load a fullsize version of the image.
In an email today, I was reminded by the Editor that I haven’t posted in the last few days. I’ve started and deleted about 4 different posts today. This was the best I could come up with today.
I did get a new mattress today. Maybe I’ll blog about that tomorrow!
The Editor was quite impressed with the image popup and knows that showing that off, not “trying to avoid the Editor’s bad list” was really your motivation for the post.
thanks for the pics, the post mostly for being YOU Dale.
YOU are loved and missed.
