US Army SOF Photos

You're right about the glint tape, I thought it was just the multicams that didn't have the glint tape till I went and checked one. They still have the little "glint tape cover tab" just for good measure- ridiculous.

He might be a cop, I don't think he's a SOF guy...

Agreed.

Are those PVS-21 NODs? (refering to Siatonists post)

 

[Brill]

I don't even think this guy is the Army. He's wearing black body armor and has a non-milspec uniform- no glint tape on the sleeves.

No velcro on his helmet either.

They are 21s, and I've never seen a US unit use them.

that's exactly what I told him before he posted it.

very confusing as to the unit of this guy.

The plot thickens...

There were dudes who got issued Rolex watches to use as barter items in case they had to E&E. Now this particular unit rolled out heavy and there was zero chance of them having to E&E so I think that it was one of those deals where it was the end of the fiscal year and they decided to have a watch party with the government IMPAC card.

Taking a closer look at the picture in question, I'm pretty sure he is a contractor on the para-military side.

An old buddy of mine in A-stan, the one in uniform and is a Major. My old team commander, great guy. CA Hearts and Minds... He caught allot of heat rounds over this.

It got real ugly when this photo surfaced. He dropped it for Christmas and sent it to everybody on the list. Straight comedy! I think there's another shot of the little guy in here somewhere on Shadow Spear.

Yea with all the pic and video media frenzies lately about what some guys have done over there it's a wonder anyone in the DOD has a sense of humor at all in regards to pic's. Best to just take em, keep em in a nice safe place, and enjoy em......then when your retired and not having to worry about being demoted whip the pics out and share with all

was that taken in front of the little cinnamon bread shack on Jbad?

I don't remember now, I will drop broham a message and get the exact grid. It was up north I think near JBAD but not sure. We laughed till we cried the caption was I found a elf in A-stan we are still hunting Santa. Shortly after this pic about a week later they lost a guy to an IED and a major fire fight ensued.

It's plausible... but theres only a handful of contracting gigs that will have guys going out in NODs and camoflauge.

Still doesn't explain the grenade launcher (if in fact that is a M320, which it looks like). OGA paramilitary or B-dub - I don't think they can have grenade launchers.
