Amusing Monday: Humor from standard DOD photos
June 8th, 2009 by cdunaganAbout.Com — the Web site about virtually everything — has restarted the “Military Photo of the Week” feature.
The idea is that readers submit funny captions for standard Department of Defense pictures, often involving some field activity captured by a military photographer.
Rod Powers, a retired Air Force first sergeant who guides military discussions on the Web site, includes the weekly photo on his blog and invites readers to submit comments. In the previous format, someone judged the top three captions of the week, which I thought worked better, but I understand that it was more time consuming.
About.Com has kept up the old archive of military photos and captions, many of which are quite amusing. Here’s a sample of water-related photos from the archive with the top-rated captions. You may click on the CAPTION # to see some of the other captions submitted.
