I have never seen SFPD all decked out in their combat gear until Superbowl 50. They are quite friendly though despite being fully armed from top to bottom.
Here is a capture from last year that I had not posted, and revisited with photoshop and I think is worth showing now.
The original from included the four eagles, but the JV eagle at the top was closer to the edge of the original capture. Just above the trees was a power line that went across the sky as well. I cloned out the power line, and then also "lowered" the JV eagle about "1.5 inches" cheating some to get him nicely into the proper formation and 16by9 frame that I wanted.
Pretty cool getting all four of them in the frame at one time ... just cheated a little to make it more pleasing to the eye ;)

Salvaged from the pre-war era, combat armor is still a highly functional way to survive in a wasteland blanketed by post-nuclear fallout...

This guy's hoodie, decorated with images of various assault and submachine guns, is belatedly appropriate here because once upon a time this area was known as the Combat Zone, an officially recognized "adult entertainment" area. Now long gone, "the Zone" was mainly populated by strip joints, sleazy bars, and hookers -- and of course their male clientele. LaGrange Street, on the left behind the green plastic, where a couple of strip clubs still operate, was perhaps the most notorious street in the city.

The vehicle features a powerful excavator bucket, as well as internal and external stowage for tools. It carries 6 combat engineers, along with a driver and gunner who may also be used for extra hands if needed.

Brithish Head War Cemetery, Anzio, Italy.
Between 22 January an May 1944, during the alleated forces landing of Anzio, died in combat 7000 men and there were 36,000 wounded between missing and caught. Here 2,312 british soldiers are buried. Most of these intrepid soldiers died very young, many were volunteers even fifteen, but to enroll themselves declared they were 19 years old. Veterans remembered the Anzio landings that liberated Rome in the 70th Anniversary of landing, that helped turn the course of the Second World War. RIP

A little weapon mod I made up and painted. I haven't been overseas in a few years now and REALLY miss it. I do go to Japan for some extensive training later in the month though. I also got some new materials that I added to the base. Weeds, static grass and tiny leaves.
Peregrine Aerial Combat Training Phase is always a joy to watch. Engineers have actually used some of their moves in designing fighter jets!

Two grey Herons having a bit of an argument over the best perch, which was a great show of aerial combat for me to watch.
Ducking and diving, lots of loud screeching, feathers flying around as if that particular perch was the best in the world.
