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.
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.
This cant be recent, its a foot of snow over most of north america. It was snowing in October in Wasilla.
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.
Sept. 11 - SP speaks at the deployment ceremony for the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK.
> But I can’t get used to the new army gear, it looks like something from a sci fi movie.
Agreed. The WW-II army gear definitely looked better. More menacing, less technical.
“Whadya mean ‘Would I hit it?’ What kind of a dumb-a$$ question is that???”

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

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.

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.
good link
it’s really a shame the economy completely imploded for 6 straight weeks before the election
oh well
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.
