Reservists?

[homeguard]

Dont get my hopes up...

[driftdiver]

US Army Corp of Engineers?

[A Strict Constructionist]

Ours or theirs?

[kellynla]

Okay, I give up...who are the guys in the camos & red baseball caps?

[Hugin]

East-West or North-South?

[Rebelbase]

Those guys don’t look to happy at having their pic taken.

[puppypusher]

These Guy's look like they are wearing the Uniforms of the U.S.A.F. Redhorse engineering teams. That's what they look like to me. That's why they are wearing those redcaps.

[wastedyears]

Or they could hire private companies, who use all-American employees, and use citizen security. This way the Reserves and National Guard can be on-call when they’re needed.

[Jet Jaguar]

Air Force. I can not tell, but they are probably Red Horse troops.

[kellynla]

“Air Force?”

Last I checked, the Air Force camos were tiger stripes...

Dollars to donuts those guys are Corps of Engineers civies...

[Jet Jaguar]

We have moved to tiger stripes. But, the BDU is still authorized until 2011.

They are Air Force. Trust me.

[ThomasThomas]

I would expect to find Air Force personal building roads.

Dollars to donuts is a even trade now.

[ThomasThomas]

I forgot the “n’t”

[kellynla]

okay...I’ll bite...what the heck is the AF doing on the mexican border...waiting for the mexican air force to fly over? LMAO

[c-b 1]

No, don't get your hopes up. A bill was passed, and signed by the President in 2006 to fund National Guard on the border from June 2006 through June 1 2008.

There have been National Guard troops posted on the border in the Yuma, Az. sector since June, 06. They will be gone by the end of the month, there is no more Federal funding, I doubt that Nancy, and Harry will pass anything to fund extending their stay.

[007drizzt]

Yeah they are RED HORSE, looks like MSGT Stripes, or Tech, on the far left. They in Arizona or something?

[xone]

They are Air Force. Trust me.

They are Red Horse. For Thomas: Red Horse guys get it done. Better funding than the NCBs (Seabees) Horse is capable of massive projects. (Now for the obligatory insult)For USAF, they are very talented.

[kellynla]

Okay, so you guys aren’t pulling my chain...
they reeeeeeeeeeeeely are AF?

Not gonna insult anyone much less the AF...we just want the damn job done...I don’t care if they call in the French Foreign Legion...”just get ‘er dun!”
