[QUOTE=TheMerchandise] I am soooo late to this party. But I just went from [long hair](http://www.flickr.com/photos/calliope1982/2083459265/) to [this](http://www.flickr.com/photos/calliope1982/2471013659/) and am looking for opportunities to show off. [/QUOTE] I like it. It probably feels great to you too! I always like that first-week-of-new-haircut feeling. Too bad it will never be that sleek again. šŸ™‚ ---

Ya know, I think I must have ā€œone of thoseā€ faces. About 75 percent of the strangers I meet tell me the same thing! Thanks for the compliment about the smile! Thatā€™s sweet. :o I think I could quickly get used to being an attention whore! Makes me all tingly! ---

Since neither of us in the pic are jocks by heritage, I think it could be argued that weā€™re both just wearing skirts. ---

(And by you, I mean me.) [/QUOTE] Since **Cervaise** has gone ahead and made the joke I would have made, the rifle is the [L85 A2](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA80#L85A2), the current variant of the SA80 issued as an individual weapon to the British Army. It looks funny 'cause itā€™s got a cover over the sight (itā€™s fun to persuade recruits that you have to cover it in public because the sight itself, the _SUSAT_, is classified.) and fixed bayonet. These pictures are from the Glasgow and Strathclyde UOTC 1[sup]st[/sup] year recruitsā€™ pass out parade, after theyā€™ve completed their first year of training. Iā€™m older and boring and needed the money so I was in the honour guard. Iā€™ll try and find some videos as the band is incredible; our pipe & drum band won the army competition for their class, and marching with them is immense. ---
