A long way from home for them!

Kind of poignant considering what's happening to their countrymen back home.

Quite a nice portrait of the two cadets.

Love the portrait and the hats.

Sometimes the military emphasis on neatness and uniformity seems extreme, but in difficult situations, the discipline pays off.

"In the navy"..... by Village People. I can hear the MUSIC now. 07.03 in the morning with my first coffee.
What a nice documentary you made with these images.

Happy weekend!

Nice, but imagine trying to grab your luggage when all the kitbags look alike.

Luis Gomez said...

Very nice shots VP! Have a great weekend.

I had the same thought as Dina. How DOES each sailor know which bag is his? ;)

I envy the adventure they are about to embark on here.
