Looking for a Buckeye Pic

In the days before the BCS game, I met several great Buckeye Fans from a military website. They knew I was an LSU fan and sent me several pics of our troops in Iraq holding LSU flags and signs etc.

Our sons have now completed Marine Boot Camp and I would like to return the favor. I've seen the coolest pic of a military pilot Buckeye fan in a fighter jet holding up an Ohio State Buckeye flag! I saved it at work, but it must have been deleted by our IS dept.

Would any of you remember this pic and have a copy you could post?

Thank you!

Okay now you are just bragging....just teasing!! those are awesome pics.

Semper Fi to you too Muck. We are very proud. We met "Hummer" the english bulldog mascot at Parris Island. Too cute! He had been demoted from LCpl to PFC because he had an accident on the parade deck. But, he did well at Delta's graduation and was back to LClp!

You Buckeyes have been great...just like my Marine family Buckeye friends. Before I go, I have two pics for Muck... and you are welcome to add them to your collection!

...and I think the game may have been jinxed from the beginning. This was taken pre-game...

Those are great! I'm guessing Army since their cammies don't look like the Marines. But, I am just learning what all the clothing looks like and is named!

I'm guessing the two I posted are Louisiana National Guard given that it's a whole mob of LSU supporters in one spot.

Since the 'Corps and the Army each have unique utilities these days it's not too hard to tell them apart.

If they are blueish grey and look like MC Hammer pants from the 80's...it's the Army.

Likewise Desert MARPAT are pretty easy to distinguish.

In older older pics when everyone was still wearing three color desert utes...if there are patches or a backwards flag (or anything else) stuck on the arms then it's definitely an Army unit. Barring that just look for the Eagle Globe & Anchor and USMC on the left breast pocket.
