Reminds me of a James Bond movie. Don't remember the name of it, though.
Great pictures!!

Cool Pics!
You know, I’m of Polish descent, and the guy on the left in the 11th photo (688.jpg) bears a remarkable resemblance to both my self and my dad when we were around that age.
Small woodpile, huh? :)

Awesome photos!
I hated the cold when I was in the military and still hate the cold. The equipment actually felt colder than the air temperature especially if you had to climb into a steel box.
Factor in A/C systems to cool computers and you might as well be working in a blizzard.

Where did your Polish ancestors come from? :-)

The Poles are some tough hombres.
Being a battleground for the major powers on either side of your country fosters that, I'd think.

I am confused. I thought the Kbs 1996 Beryl was the assault rifle. Does it also come configured to be used as a light machinegun for squad fire support?

They’ve got women in their infantry units?

Brrrr. No thanks - I have unfond memories of maneuvers in deep winter conditions. Everything metal hurts to touch, the winter gear grows less and less effective at keeping you warm, and your nose loses all feeling.
They (the Poles) look like sharp troops - one of my buddies did a joint training exercise with them last year and thought they were pretty good guys.
