1. Guys using compacts

Don't judge. Applying camouflage is an essential part of combat survival training.

2. Exceptional pride in work

"How many people get to say they get to drop off American heroes, pick them up at the end of the night?"

Good question.

3. Who loves short shorts? We do.

If you love freedom, bald eagles, and flexing your quads, you'll love the distinct shorts our Special Tactics men wear proudly.

4. Daggers

You see them in our shield, awards and pictures, but why? The dagger is yet another homage to the British, paying tribute to British Brigadier General Orde

C. Wingate and his "Chindits" on long-range penetrations into Burma against the Japanese.

5. Heartfelt homecomings

Nothing sweetens accomplishing the mission like coming home to loved ones.

6. That sweet sound of freedom

Day or night, the distinct roar and frequent "booming" of the AC-130 Gunship is a common sound around AF Spec Ops bases.
