SF Band of Brothers
Bear with me.
This is one of the display boards from a classroom at lovely Camp Mackall.

This is a photo I noticed on the upper left of that board.
That is what a real live SF ODA looks like. As a matter of fact, that is what a damn near perfect ODA looks like.
One of our very own members, if not more, are in this photo.
Can anyone other than the individual(s) involved determine which member(s) it is and where he is/they are in the photo?
Good hunting.

No idea, but I definately wouldn't want to be on the bad side of ripped pants. Looks like a pissed-off Lion.

This sure would be easier if they were wearing berets instead of patrol caps...

You're just lucky that guy is a lefty, instead of a righty, or this pic would not be G Rated.
Crip:
What difference would the headgear make?

Sir, I think he's referring to the fact that the rank is subdued on patrol caps, making it more difficult to determine who the Det Commander is.

First row, far right...could that be our own NDD? He's mentioned being of Scottish heritage before...and that particular person could pass based on skin/hair coloring.
Guessing....obviously.

A few of the faces are familiar to me, but I do not know “where’ they were standing when the pic was taken.
My guess would be somewhere down south and during a conflict as they are locked and loaded and sporting frags.

Don't be PMing me, this is Reaper's deal. I'm not involved and wouldn't tell you if I knew.

The only rank indicated on an SF beret is officers and warrant officers.
All enlisted berets in a Group appear the same, except for varieties of stains and wear.
Who is PMing, trying to cheat? If they are coming to Mackall, I will ready the reception party and the Gig Pit.
