When it comes to military training, exercises, and operations there are some interesting and unique scenarios and situations out there, and with this of course some truly outstanding photos that have amazing stories to tell. The idea here is to share those photos (and related stories) to facilitate inter-service discussion and understanding about various facets of military service culture, tradition, history, and the military experience as-a-whole. So, let's dust off the old photo album and break out those most cherished photos; please feel free to add descriptions, stories, or commentary to add to the experience, and of course please be mindful of OPSEC while doing so. I'm sure that this'll be fun and informative discussion, and we'll learn a thing-or-two in the process, now, pull-up a keyboard and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

This shot was taken from the TCs hatch of my tank as we crossed into Iraq, 20 March 2003.

Bah, will have to check this at home. Apparently my IT department think weapons are bad and have blocked my access.

Pretty Sure that was generated with the conventional warhead of a SUBROC which was a common weapon of the time. Just to prove that the welds would hold up in such an environment. Didn't phase Pig Boat whatsoever.

Thank you. Unfortunately I lost all my other photos due to a computer crash. My favorite photo was the guns of the Missouri in the foreground and the Arizona Memorial in the background.
