Motivational Posters, an album

I have been fascinated by the Motivational Posters for years. I started to collect a separate file of those that pertain to the military and a couple political.

I read where TS had posted a new one he found earlier in the month.

Thought I would share my album.

I picked Rucksack Wisdom over Comedy Zone,, seemed the better of the two.

Mod(s) can move if I'm wrong..

Enjoy, fell free to download, but please don't link..

ROFL Those are good. The Marine in your soulmate poster is a funny guy I knew him years ago and have no doubt that he loved that animal like no other man could. .

My personal favorite is the very last about training and it is O so true.

Yeah, I've always enjoyed reading some of the motivational posters that are out there. But then, there is also the flip side of things, the "Demotivational Posters" and those can be pretty funny as well. Here's some for any that may be interested.

Some good ones in there! I was never a particularly big fan of the Motivatoinal posters, although I thought it was neat that someone (public affairs? I actually have no idea) used to go around Bragg snapping pictures of soldiers training and using them to make posters. I was standing in Womack for some reason or another and happened to notice one of a sniper with his spotter, forgot the theme, and the sniper was an old battlebuddy of mine from basic.

Now, the DE-Motivational posters... I can't get enough of them My cache is enormous.

I love the funny ones, whether they are motivational or otherwise.
