GI Joe foot patrol

[Sundance]

Lt. Falcon commands a foot patrol in the wild countryside. In the lead is Spearhead the point man, whilst Grunt, Footloose and Hit&Run form the main column, with Leatherneck on drag.





Unfortunately, a short supply of consumables forced the group to RTB*...


*IE, the batteries in me camera ran out. I was going to do a one with and ....

Leatherneck is not on drag; he's a man and is wearing man's clothes

[Sundance]

no, he's the last man in the group, so he's on drag, as opposed to being the guy at the front, who's on point.

if he was in women's clothes he'd be IN drag...

I was always told the last man was known as bringing up the rear......................

Nice shot Sundance...I always thought Spearhead's camo looked a bit too "Bright",though he'd be perfect for the desert, Lt Falcons pose is spot on!

Ahhh... but what's he got on UNDER his man's clothes!?

Seriously, nice pic (Spearhead's Camo does stand out a bit though!!)

Oh it is also known as tail-end Charlie.

Leatherneck himself referred to the last man in a column being the drag in either 'Ambush' or 'No Holds Barred' I forget which. it's probably an American Marine thing...

I'm always suspicious of those type of moustaches! Maybe he's at the back so he can have a good look at things in front!
