Description 131017-A-VB845-012

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Gildardo Pelcastre, assigned to 55th Signal Company (Combat Camera)
provides cover from behind a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle at Fort Meade, Md.,

reacted to sniper ambush while mounted in a vehicle.

Oh...AWT.  A great way to train (mess with) Soldiers while staying at home.  This time, thankfully,
was broken up some some semi-useful and entertaining tasks. 


My military imagery is available for public domain. As the photographer, I don't have control over
how you may use it, but I ask that it be done with respect to the individuals represented here.

OK, I know it's a serious photo of a serious operation, but your title just had to make me laugh...

Nah, it wasn't too serious...we had guys jumping from the tops of the connexes for 'ninja attacks'.  
SSG P was the one who gave me the idea, he "pew pew-ed" his way throughout the entire scenario.

Oh yea!  My 9 month old would do it, my 9 year old wouldn't.  He's not the military type.  No amount of discipline would be emparted on him.  He'd just stand there and cry.....lol

The guys in this photo arefrom my company, fellow combat cameramen.  We were just doing some tactical training at home.  With other units, we do our best to document while still being able to keep up with the other guys - we're trained in a very similar fashion ot them.

Okayyyy... I haven't heard about that before... It's nice. Because of the documents, because it bring to us informations from the war. Before i saw your gallery, war wasn't  like it is in reality... You know what i want to say ?

tanikel In reply to Ayahne [2013-11-20 19:17:16 +0000 UTC]

Yep!  I didn't really understand the war until I was actually in it.  It's what motivated me to start documenting 'the other side' of it.
