The only picture of me in my Army blues is at home which is, well lets just say its pretty far from here. ---

Now, _that_ would be a turn-on to me. Not only are they a Man in Uniform, but theyā€™re confident enough to stroll around with teddy bears. In uniform (the men, not the bears. Well, the bears could be too.) Though I would _really_ have to wonder about what division of the military theyā€™re fromā€¦ ---

Pshaw. My Marine Corps Dress Blues have been known to make women in the OTHER ROOM weak in the knees. (but the damned thing has shrunk over the last 16 years, grumble, grumble) ---

Well my blues are in my closet at home (next to my police uniforms BTW) so I canā€™t make anymore pictures now. I do have plenty of BDUs here but no way to put them on a website. Besides I donā€™t think my wife would like it if I start showing pictures to strange women šŸ˜‰ ---

Not that the website is www literotica com (NSFW!) (I trust this is OK? It doesnā€™t directly link). **Loach** , thatā€™s fine. Good luck to you wherever you are, and if you ever do get a pic, put it up! Hello to your wife! Weā€™re not threatening, just admiring from afar. **NinjaChick** , I have a little stuffed bear from Canada thatā€™s wearing a Mounties uniform. It is cute. I always sing, now, The Mounties always get their bear! And with that, all Canadians have forever ceased being my friend. šŸ˜ƒ ---
