OK...
Served 20 years as a submariner in the US Navy, some of them spent carrying around SEAL teams for SpecOps.
One brother served as a Marine for over 10 years, flew F-4's and later served as an Engineer Officer on the ground.
Another brother served 22 1/2 years in the Air Force as a C-130 Loadmaster and flew lots of missions involving men and equipment.
Both parents served during WWII. Various uncles served. Lots of friends scattered throughout all the branches.
And still I have to ask: What's with the sneakers? (And yes, I'm aware that SpecOps personnel are authorized clothing and grooming deviations in order to fit their missions. But though I can accept his grooming in this picture, his dress isn't consistent with the sneakers.)
