Beverly Moody strikes a pose for a photo at Pink Kitty Studios that she will send to her boyfriend, a Navy SEAL stationed in Afghanistan.

It's always nice to be reminded of what you are fighting for.

What will NOW say?

30 years from now in the attic.

Grandchildren playing.

Hey, check out Grand Dad's old uniform.

Hey, check out Grandma's picture!

You Who

[SkyPilot]

Gosh I love American women! Our ladies are the best.

I have not seen my wife for 6 weeks.

God bless em!

Moody's photos are meant for only one person - her boyfriend, a Navy SEAL stationed in Afghanistan.

That's nice -- so why are they in the freaking newspaper?

[Corin Stormhands]

Moody's photos are meant for only one person - her boyfriend, a Navy SEAL stationed in Afghanistan.

Which is precisely why it's posted on the Internet???

[ErnBatavia]

Reminds me of when I was in USMC Boot Camp in 1966 - the Drill Instructors would open all incoming mail and especially check any photos that had been sent.

(This may or may not tie in with that 'saltpeter in the chow' rumor....)

I could have gone with the most famous Betty Grable picture, but I thought I should post something different.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Grrrr, baby.

Grandkids: Did you see GrandMa's Tatoo? What does that big bird with "ride me hard" written on it mean?

[Pyro7480]

That woman kind of looks like Jessica Rabbit from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

that specializes in turning out pinups like those that kept G.I. morale high in World War II.

I think he need to keep working on his "forties WW2 theme", this picture doesn't come close to duplicating the pin-up pictures of that era

I talked to an Army guy recently who has not seen his wife for 14 months.

Makes my separation look like nothing.

Things like this are an incredible boost to morale.

Several years ago, my wife did the "Glamor Shots" thing. Critics can say it is a bit silly, but I still have those photos. I keep them with me. Over the years, they have helped me center myself when all hell broke loose.

[LongsforReagan]

That pic stunned by beeber.

[wallcrawlr]

He's a lucky soldier.
A bit nostalgic.

I think this is great. We have no right to see the pics but I sure am glad the woman who do it for their dudes and maybe even vice/versa for the lady soldiers get to have some playful fun with their spouses in the midst of war.

One time in a place far far away I got pictures from home.

They came in an envelope marked "Pictures - Do Not Bend".

The guys all crowded around me to sneak a peak and I opened the envelope real careful and looked at the pictures. After a laugh I dropped them on the table for everybody to see.

She had gone to a flea market and picked up a couple of old rifles she thought I would like. All of the pictures were of the guns. Everybody there then had a good laugh.

Now that is my kind of woman.

I had a friend in the first Gulf War - he sat in the desert for 6 months and I kept getting letters from him asking for pictures, but to be careful because of the censorship. Instead of posing for pictures myself I packed up a bunch of Victoria's Secret catalogs and sent them - not knowing if they would get censored. Apparently they didn't - my friend said they practically lived off of the catalogs for the remaining 2 months. I was glad I could help the war effort!
