Quick everyone pose like an action movie poster.
Serious marine sniper copypasta vibes
For a Los Alamos security job during the cold war, that copypasta probably isn't far off.
Charles Bronson is not on this poster cover as his agent decided it would have been bad for his career. Such a C movie cover. Those fucking shades and awkward 🚁.
On that note, awkward helicopter is an awesome band name.
Why would SF at a civilian base (even one working on nuclear tech) need camo on their rigs? It’s not like you’re ambushing people on guard duty.
Are you sure this isn't a scene from the 1982 film Megaforce?
Hmm

Fun fact: the buggies were regular camo, but the radiation gave them paint mutations.
The pattern continued as the mutated buggies were more attractive and sexual selection continued their line.
Be honest acockworkorange, someone just wanted to draw dicks all over them
OK... It was me.
My understanding from this side of the pond is that the Department of Energy does not fuck about when it comes to providing policing and defensive security to whatever sites and infrastructure that comes under their jurisdiction - they put a fair bit of time and money into being pretty fucking decent with firearm handling and ~~marksmanship~~ ~~markspersonship~~ decent shooting.
That said, this photo is 46+ years old so who knows now?
