See, now that is more like it. Instead of sports cards, the military needs more of this to show kids what a hero should look like.
Thanks for sharing Sir!!!

Nice Collection
Nice collection. I agree most of the pictures date from 59-63ish.
Never see that these days. Not PC.

Calendars
AT least it is not a calendar with shirtless men with BDU pants and UDT shorts negotiating parts of an obstacle course. The Navy SEALs have one every year, at least for the last few.
I was told by a reliable source that they sell them at certain womens functions and raise the money for various Navy and Special Warfare foundations.

About the same time that these were floating around there was also a story line about SF in VN in the Sunday Comic Strips. Ran for about a year IIRC.

I see no problem with this concept.

I guess the sensationlism that Navy SEALs recieve these day's does call for a calendar that say's "Look at us without our shirts, we're the baddest, most fantasitcally built Special Warriors on the planet" I saw the cover of the 2003 calendar and it was akin to something that "Chip and Dales" might have for sale. 
Hey's it their gig, have at it. If it makes money for the Special Operations Warrior foundation then it's all good.

If you want one .............
MAV:
If you'd like one, my son can probably dig one up and send it to you.  I believe he may have one with Scott Helvenston as Mr. August, July, June, etc. RIP Scott. Personally I'll stick with SF bubble gum cards or Maxim Mag.

LOL! Should change my title to "Female, 1 ea" just for emphasis, hehehe... Ah, the thoughts that must have originally gone through everyone's heads.
82ndtrooper: It's unfortunate, but an affirmative response to your offer is self-incriminating, lol
Back on topic, tho, those are pretty neat. Altho, only one of them actually pulled up (thanks, SurfControl)
