Would you have taken this photo?

If you were this soldier, would you, or would you not, have taken the photo off of this camera? The camel's face is the best part of the pic...your thoughts?

Now that's funny, PO2 Rocky Kleeger! I would have to vote for eliminating all evidence of that picture. Brutal! Poor camel!

PO2 Kleeger--well, before everyone had a camera and could post on the internet a sharp PAO would kill the pix...if only for operational security. Can't have the enemy know what really goes on in the field. Nor how lonely a fellow can be...talk about humping it in the field...

Once upon a time we had a great photo taken at the MP School--an MP was straddling a Howitzer with two WACs looking on...while the photo was killed for publication, we had it up on our wall with this cutline: THIS IS YOU WEAPON. THIS IS YOUR GUN. THIS ONE'S FOR FIGHTING. THIS ONE'S FOR FUN!

I'm going to just put my head in the sand and assume that he was trying to climb on the camel's back to ride it (in the proper sense) and someone snapped a pic at an inopportune point in the process.

I really, really hope I'm right.

Rocky... is that you? Get off that poor camel before he kicks you!! At least you made him smile! LOL
Oh... to answer the question... no, I wouldn't have taken that pic Rocky. We are buddies. Anyone else though and I would have busted them out! LOL

I would have taken the photo and posted to many a meme (as long as it wasn't me in the pic)!

I would have kept this photo and included some rather racy comments in regards to the individual involved, but then again I am kinda twisted!!!

Great Facebook post--or farewell scrapbook stuff. My fav pix was one you got at the Pentagon once upon a time. A pix taken inside a vehicle of the rear view mirror--in the mirror was the Pentagon!

Romance on RallyPoint? | RallyPoint

With all of the heavy hearted discussions, I'm looking for something lighter to discuss. I'm an eternal romantic at heart and I'm just curious as to if anyone has found love or their partner or significant other here on RallyPoint?

( Puff puff ) "Was that as good for you as it was for me?" This should be on the Camel Cigarette ads...... Warning! Poking a Camel is hazardous to your health!

Remember in Full Metal Jacket when the prostitutes were not willing to boom boom with the Black Soldier? Imagine this Camel is saying it, "No, you go way, no boom boom,"Nó bự quá" "Nó bự quá" too big!"

I doubt there isn’t a soldier in the world that would avoid taking that photo.
