Photo of the Day – Mah Deuce

Just a cool photo because I love the M2 and silhouette shots.


Soldiers of the Personal Security Detachment, 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, mount an M2 .50-caliber machine gun before conducting night fire drills during training at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center, Miss. The 37th IBCT is deploying to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

If you like the M2 as much as I do, you can also get an awesome new shirt on pre-order from Ranger Up HERE.

Photo of the Day – Teach A Man To Fish

We’re not always going to be here in Afghanistan (I hope). There will come a time when the American people decide that we’ve given the Afghan people enough time to get it right. The government will have to stand on its own two feet at some point. But, I have no doubt that even after we leave, there will be turmoil. The Taliban will attempt to assert their dominance through violence and people will injured or killed.

It’s important, therefore, that important life saving skills are learned. In the US, anyone can attend a CPR or first aid course. Now, we’re trying to help the Afghan people help themselves. Sgt. Lizette Hart took this photo of a medical clinic here training on just that.


Students and staff of the Jaji Aryoub District Hospital practice suturing an arm and torso during a three-day medical seminar held at the Jaji District Center, Sept. 25-27. The seminar was attended by 14 students and covered medical classes on emergency room procedures, dental health and preventive medicine.
