Motivational Post for Men in Uniform

Yeah, there apparently is some truth to the stories about the uniform and its effect on women.

I recently posted that Seven Inches of Sense has shifted focus to a group blog for a handful of military girlfriends and spouses with the her Seven Inches of Service announcement.

Just to cheer up the men currently in the service, as well as maybe provide a little motivation to others considering it, I thought I’d highlight a recent effort by the Seven Inches girls as they relay their thoughts on soldiers in uniform.

Uniforms On The Bedroom Floor

I had known Jimmy for a while before I actually saw him in his BDU’s. And even then, it was a picture one of his soldiers took. I wish I could describe to ya’ll the feeling that washed over me when I opened that picture. Let’s just say I am glad I was sitting because otherwise, there might have been a Joan-sized hole in my coffee table from falling through the glass on my way to the floor.

Saying Goodbye In The Mornings

The other thing I like to see Roy in is his dress blues. He has enough medals, that oh my goodness, send the firetruck the flames are that hot inside me.

Gotta Love DCUs

BDUs and DCUs: quite possibly the two best acronyms the army has to offer. I love a man in uniform! I have always liked men in uniform, but until Clark came along, I never fully understood the allure of camouflage. The first picture I ever saw of Clark was of him facing the camera, dressed in his BDUs, middle finger extended and a mischievous grin on his face…apparently, that was all it took. I was smitten.

More Than Just A Uniform

I only saw Humphrey in BDUs once, the weekend after I had gotten back from that trip and went down to visit him. It didn’t really phase me, as I still had no idea the kind of significance that uniform would later take on (and because, to me, a man in BDUs has nothing on one in DCUs). I only saw him in DCUs in pictures from Iraq, but one of the first ones I saw was of him in full “battle rattle,” and I just said, “damn.”

Behold Thy Wondrous Uniform

Still, before we went out again, common sense sent me online, where I managed to dig up some photos of him in uniform (thank you, Google). Damn. Not only had he been telling the truth, but he looked good.

What Is It About A Man In Uniform?

Those who know me understand that I’m not exactly for the entire concept of the military. So I am at a loss to find why seeing that boy in uniform just makes me feel so damned good. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but I get weak in the knees every time I see that boy wearing his beret.

Yummy

*wipes drool*

Yeah…he is so very sexy in those BDUs!!! There is just something about freshly starched BDUs, spit-shone boots, and a beret that arouses me everytime I see Dana in them. Is it the masculinity or the uniformity? For me personally, I think it’s a little bit of both.

There, if you’re a man and don’t find those motivational, well, don’t bother telling me. And I won’t ask.

I wonder what the girlfriend would think of me in uniform, as we started dated a little over a year after I left the service. Hmmm…
