Check it out guys....one of our guys took the photo and S.W.A.T. decided to use it for the cover of the August Issue.  There's an excellent article with numerous combat camera photos of our servicemembers in action.

Note the Pom in the middle NOT carrying his SA80. Wonder how long it took to break this time around....

Looks cool, have to see if i can find it downtown tonight. Scour all the pics for a "KF wuz here" tag on the random bomb or radio tower.

Quoted: Is SWAT put out by the guy who used to run "The Firing Line"? He seemed like a good guy from his posts there and I've heard the magazine (if I am thinking of the right one) was better than the run of the mill gun rags. I've sort of given up on the gun magazines, but I'll pick that issue up.

I subscribe to SWAT magazine and it is a good gun magazine.  It's definitely worth picking up.  Yes it is put out by Rich who used to run thefiringline.com.  

Guys,

Remember, this is an August Issue....Not on the streets yet.  We got a copy due to the picture being used.

Don't ask, Don't tell

Snark1,

I would really like to hear your reasoning for raising the bullshit flag.....and also the don't ask, don't tell comment.

The photographer who took that photo on the cover of SWAT Magazine is SSgt David Donovan.  He's here in the same unit that I'm deployed with....

We went out on another Blackhawk ride today and here he is:



as well as me out over the Persian Gulf:



So please, explain your actions.  If you would like his email address over here, IM me and I will give it to you.  I'm sure he will email you a copy of the original photo used on the cover.

Be careful when you raise the bullshit flag.

Quoted: snark, care to explain your comments?

I think his silence speaks volumes. My cristal ball says he will re-regester with a new name and learn to keep his trap shut. Or, he is attending junior high summer school and got cought using the school's computer.

KF, a friend of mine Robert Olague is a NRA instructer who is going to write an article for SWAT, keep an eye on it.SWAT and SAR are the only gun rags I subscribe too, although I also should get Shotgun News. Stay safe and God bless.

We had thirty copies sent to our unit because of the photo being used.....I assumed that it was not on the street when I originally posted....I could be wrong.  It may already be out there....
