Gator alum Lieutenant Boyles standing in front of the King's Palace in Kabul, Afghanistan, 2007. Take a moment today to appreciate the rough men (and women) who allow you to sleep peaceably in your bed at night.
Happy Memorial Day to you all, and to everyone in uniform overseas. ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS to you all.

Looks like the good lieutenant got promoted to captain, unless he is USN. Thanks to CPT Boyles and let’s take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

That’s an 8 point hat, so he’s either a Marine or a sailor.
Marines have been wearing digi cammi’s for years and they don’t wear their rank on their hat.
That leaves sailor and he’s a Lieutenant.

To all of those who have made and are making the sacrifices so we can watch and debate College Football, and do everything else we desire, thank you.

War Eagle Boyle!
Great picture.
I remember when my cousin Fritz sent me pics from Iraq. He had pics of him on Saddam’s throne, in his tub, on a balcony…etc.
Godspeed Lt. Boyle

i’m not doubting he’s navy, but to respond to #2, i’m in the AF and we got issued 8-point hats when we went to the desert. i never wore it, cause it’s ugly as sin, but some people did.

I thought that pic was taken in Colombus,Ohio after Fla beat them down, like they were invading them since tOSU gave up so easily, really didnt offer any resistance to a pass rush, or military invasion…

+100 molotov cocktails to the U.S. Military, no matter what they’re directed to do. Thank you.
Don’t let that flag touch the ground!

@ 8
As a resident, I can tell you C-bus looks like that every day. This picture was actually taken at the corner of High + State Streets.

There are a lot of sailors inland. Quite a few of them are EOD, others will handle supply and support.
Good job and God bless ya, LT.

Looks like the Florida secondary has been protecting the palace. Bomb’s been raining on it all season long
