I like how they're using Multicam uniforms since most Russian soldiers shipped out to Syria in their standard green digital camo
Sometimes I wonder what percentage of what special forces wear is purely for the cool factor

i'd imagine a lot.
I also like how a lot of SF guys look like super jacked guys from the south.
Or they're super thin older guys, while still remaining super jacked and strong (does that make any sense to you guys)?
At least thats been regarding the few SOCP/SF guys ive rarely ran into in my short short boring military career.

To be fair, everything in the '80s was tacky.
Newer ones are a little better:

I still hate how all the ads are focused on what the viewer could get out of it, rather than what they'd be putting into it.
I saw so many guys show up to basic expecting to get handed all kinds of shit on a silver platter - fuck that. Whatever happened to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"? I think the military needs to focus on that more.

Best recruitment ad ever. I remember actually seeing it on television. Not many commercials stick to the brain like this one did.

You don't see non-disintegrating belts that often nowadays. Neat stuff.
Y'all might want to invest in belt boxes though, they cut down on the risk of damaging the belts or getting them tangled in something. Makes handling the weapon easier too.

[QUOTE]I recently started poking around in our family history and amazingly my grandpa just handed me a collection of ca. 150 photos his father took during his entire military career. I think they give you a very unique perspective into the life of a Wehrmacht soldier.
What you can see in the pictures:
* [Reichsarbeitsdienst]([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsarbeitsdienst[/url])
* Bootcamp near Postdam
* One or more pictures of the [Westfeldzug in France]([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France[/url])
* pictures from today's Poland right before the Attack on the USSR
* pictures from [Operation Barbarossa]([url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa[/url])
He took some notes on the back of the pictures which I included in the description. The furthest location I got was [Kremenchuk]([url]https://www.google.de/maps/place/Kremenchuk,+Poltavs'ka+oblast,+Ukraine/@49.0935026,33.2991053,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x40d753ab9b0218df:0x49204e009e9c5b1c[/url]) in Ukraine.
I don't know much about his unit or anything, yet. I know that he was part of Festungs-Infanterie-Bataillon 1458, 4. Kompanie from February 1945 but not much more. He was in Granatwerfer (heavy mortar) squad and made it till Unteroffizier.
If you spot anything or have any questions, I am happy to help but I would be also grateful if you see anything that gives you hints about locations, unit etc. [/QUOTE]
