No need, the second that trigger is pulled the Darwinism starts teaching… Possible powder burned cornea, maybe even a slide scar on the cheek, and 10% disability for hearing loss.
At that point Ms. Half teacup, wrapped thumbs will realize Forrest was right, stupid is as stupid does.
She’s not cute, she’s just not hideous. Once you ETS you will regain the ability to see the middle ground again. As long as you are in you can only see the left and right limits for some reason.
I’d never seen someone chicken wing with a handgun before. That may actually be the worst form I’ve ever seen from someone who at least should have had some training.
Also there’s no round in the chamber but still, gun pointed at the camera and it looks like the finger is one the trigger.
Hell, why are they even making the Berlin Brigade patch in minty green, anyway? How many folks can there be who are still authorized that thing as a combat patch, anyway? Maybe a half-dozen, on active duty?
Someone was telling me that there were only around a couple of hundred or so BB guys and girls who were authorized the patch, from service in Operation Desert Shield/Storm and Provide Comfort.
How many of them are left, on active duty? She cannot be one of them, unless DA has somehow perfected rejuvenation technology…
Not to mention, she’s wearing the damn thing as a current SSI…
PEO Soldier, you are a failure at the task “Pick a reasonably accurate model for photo ops…”.
I agree with you and Kirk. BB deactivated in 1994 and I have never heard of any “residual” or reinstated unit that would be authorized to currently wear the patch.
Likewise, she looks like she is sighting a lensatic compass rather than aiming a pistol. So I’m assuming this is just someone who was dressed up for a photo op.
I was in the BB during the deployment in 1991. B/6-502 IN, Scouts, Mortars, Medics, and some of the staff deployed to Turkey ISO Provide Comfort II. The Company deployed with cross-leveled dudes from A, C, and D Companies. I still wear the patch on the right sleeve sometimes and get a lot of questions about it from the younger kids. Try to think of PEO patch selection as ‘Lorem Ipsum’ text in a sample website or graphic – it’s merely a placeholder. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone behind the scenes of that photo shoot was in Berlin at some point and slipped it in there as a shout-out. There are probably less than a dozen of us left who still serve – the CSIB was released early last year and now I’m waiting for the OCP version of this patch so I can wear it on the new uniform.
Mike, looks kinda like the Insight triggerguard-mounted rails. I’ve only ever seen the models for the SIG 228 and 226, but this one looks different from those two Insight models I’ve seen.
Hey guys,
This girl is me! The girl in the photo! I was in the Army National Guard for 8 years & got out as an E5. At one point I got to be involved with some of the recruiting media. This photo in particular was taken at a photo shoot for the maker of that pointer. They set my pose up that way but ya, even I thought it came out weird! In the different photo shoots they had me use all kinds of different stuff such as that patch. At other shoots I was a Warrant Officer or Officer etc. Oddly enough my mom came across this posting online! Some of the comments on here are funny & some are flattering;) Just wanted to share what this photo was all about!
My dad is a vet, I served, my sister & her husband still serve, a cousin is serving, my brother in law serves, & my husband is still in. So ya, I know guys get. And actually I do lots of shooting so that they posed me that way & gave the Internet something to WTF about sucks! Lol
PEO impresses yet again.
I call photoshop, no way an MP is that damn cute!
Thanks!..but I wasn’t an MP. That’s just what they had me wear for this particular photo shoot.
I want to waste so much time on how jacked up this is.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS. It’s like they wanted to look bad on purpose.
Or just click on the link below the picture.

The struggle is real.
Shit, that’s a solid deployment 10 right there.
She looks better than some of the WMs I’ve seen!
Yeah, ’cause that bar is -really- high…
Congrats SSD. Consider my jimmies sufficiently rustled.

I’ll just leave this here.

Am I the only one noticing the Berlin Brigade patch on someone who had to have been in diapers about the time the Brigade shut down? WTF?
Or, did we just stand the brigade back up, since we’re restarting the Cold War?
It’s memorabilia from her dad. Either that or she borrowed an ACU shirt from a mate Airsofter.
LOL, you actually may be onto something here…
Yeah, I saw that as well. Something is fishy in Denmark.

Damn it, her azmuth is gonna be spot on!
Let’s hope her declination adjustment is correct.
The photo is from 2006…but I guess that would still be 12 years after the BB shut down…

She’s no Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones or even Monica. But hey, “Go baby!”
How’s that PEQ mounted on that M9 anyways? Didn’t think the Army bought M9A1’s.
Gotta go, Hill just got back from Iowa.
Looks like one of those plastic trigger guard /grip panel things.

I retired in 2012. I think I was the last Berlin Brigader with that combat patch left on active duty according to PERSCOM back in 2011.
Airsofter
SSD…. Why have you done this? Are you purposely trying to get some of us to have an annuerisym?
But on a more practical note:

Yeah, look at that thing…. Hell, forget the girl, I’d probably have to hold that pistol mounted SOFLAM like that just to keep it up!
Only PEO could show a Beretta ready to fire, that isn’t. Someone forgot to lift the ‘decocker/safety/horrible idea’
One of my biggest complaints from that damn pistol.

I agree that she is most likely an Air Softer. However, with that said, that’s a HMMWV in the back ground. Where did that come from?
They just had it as backdrop. I was a Lightwheel Mechanic not an MP.

Don’t let them get to you, you know how us guys are sometimes. Glad you took the time to comment.

You’re taking it like you should. It’s hard to separate the intitutional stupidity from the people caught up in it. Have a good day SGT.
