Though it kind of touches me since it looks almost exactly like the god damn shitty gear we had to use in training here...

The old one absolutely sucks. Don't know if they worked back when you were in the army (when were you? ) but when we used them they just randomly beeped and were generally annoying to have on. Especialy since they are designed for the old '85 gear and we used '05.DonFck wrote:

The new simulators apparently are great but we never got to see those. Propably saving them for a war like all the other proper equipment
lol germans
Some what right. Those are actual M-16 rifles are loaded with blanks; you can tell blanks are loaded because of the red block attached to the end of the rifle barrel. The laser-tag part is what the Marines call "Mause Gear" (incorrect spelling) which they used for their training back in the 80's...not sure if they ditched it for airsoft or other.some_random_panda wrote:

Personally, for me:
Stuart Nash - He was one of my Sergeants when I was first in cadets. Was killed last year serving in Afghanistan, for 1RIFLES, Royal Army.
Then of course, there are the spate of Pulitzer prize winning photos that have been posted earlier in the thread. I've actually got a book, entitled "Moments", with the last 50 years of Pulitzer winning photots. There is some incredible stuff there.

Chernobyl.
More than any pictures in the world these two move me the most and happen to me very personal to me.
Sorry for the white areas within the pictures I only just scanned them in work and didnt bother cropping etc as I dont really know how to.
They are of the two people (other than myself) that I bang on about.
Mums wedding 16th September 1991 - I was 15. I wish I had taken more photo's of Mum before she died but by the time we thought she might die it was too late, I had a digi camera by then but its understandable she didnt want her picture taken. Mum died 24th Sept 2005.
My Daughter was diagnosed with 'Gastrochisis' on the 20 week scan, from then on we knew how she would be born and what was needed. She is about 25 mins old in this picture. Inside the cling film are her bowel/s. large and small intestines, liver and kidney. When a baby is grown in the womb they form from the back to the front and it kind of seals itself at the belly button. Gastro* is a defect that dosent seal itself and thus all the insides grow in the womb but outside of the baby.
She had to have the operation to thread it all back in straight after birth, I turned all religious for 2 hours and to my surprise was told the operation was a complete success. There were other complications in the 6 weeks we spent in SCBU but you look at her now and she is the very same as every other 8 year old girl, except she dosent have a belly button. Sorry if the picture is a bit graphic for you. I consider myself a very lucky boy to have her.

I don't get it man, are you all just on a ship or is something meant to be happening?
ATG's kids drew it and showed it to him. If that doesn't generate emotion in the parent, something is possibly wrong.SamBo:D wrote:
