Fort Wainwright Visit: (Sarah Palin in a flight suit--photos)
gov.state.ak.us ^ | Governor's office

Posted on 12/26/2008 12:18:48 PM PST by SolidWood

Haven't seen these pics on FR before. Palin visiting Strykers at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Out of curiosity... does anyone know when this visit was? Can't find a date at the Governor's site.

BTW there is no dress she doesn't look good in.

As my grandpa would have said: “She’d look good in rags.”

She will BE a great Potus someday.
But I can’t get used to the new army gear, it looks like something from a sci fi movie.

Yes, I know this is before she was picked for McCain’s running mate. But I couldn’t find the exact date. Guess 2007.

I'm glad they didn't try to give her a "Dukakis moment" by sticking some headgear on her.

I love the hands on the hips stance.

Found the date. September 11, 2008!

Sept. 11 - SP speaks at the deployment ceremony for the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK.

Agreed. The WW-II army gear definitely looked better. More menacing, less technical.

We can only hope :-)...but I'm not holding my breath. ;-\

Lots of great photos on the gov's site:

http://gov.state.ak.us/photos.php

I first became aware of the governor when I surfed into this link (below) in 2007, from her trip to Kuwait, which is why I was surprised when the MSM were saying 'she's never left the country!'?? The MP3 is worth a listen. It's long, but it portrays the depth which again, the MSM missed entirely.

See last two 'flight suit' photos here:

One other in the series in the original post - looks much better than Dukakis ;-)

Army uniform question from an old Jarhead: do you guys really go into the field with those bright flags on your shoulders?

(Not trying to start anything; just never really go to see many Army/AF uniforms.)

Oh, and, re: the picture, that’s enough to make an old devil dog break his leash...

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/theorderlyroom/f/faqflag.htm

Chapter 1, Title 4, United States Code, provides for the design of the U.S. flag and specifies the colors as red, white, and blue. Colors other than red, white, and blue violate the U.S. Code; therefore, subdued-colored flags are not authorized for wear. Joint commanders have to make the decision as to whether or not the wear of a full-color flag, for morale purposes, is more important than having all aspects of the uniform camouflaged.

Body language? Hands on the hips say “I’m in charge” An Army officer told me that.

I feel about Sarah like I feel about my wife. I simply love her for all reasons.

Me too. men who cherish women for all the historically common reasons understand this. Sarah epitomizes what we hold dear and it scares the left and many GOP too.

I think Obama and his minions are responsible for that little piece of convenience.
