They are better men and women than I... I simply cannot imagine dancing in combat boots... period, full-stop. And those women who have been my "dance partners" in the past would whole-heartedly agree. (There's a reason I put dance partners in quotes.)
That shot of the Lt on the F-16 wing is just too, too cool.
You and me, both, Buck! I can not imagine, but here they are!!!
For the ladies, there is some toe protection not afforded in dance shoes!!!
I was under the impression that our combat troops were the terrorists! Well Rosie said so, so what the deal these fine folks looking like human beings they are!!!
Awesome pics!!! Fine people Semper Fi!
