And even then, it was a picture one of his soldiers took. I wish I could describe to ya&#8217;ll the feeling that washed over me when I opened that picture. Let&#8217;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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106478.php\"><strong>Saying Goodbye In The Mornings<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106406.php\"><strong>Gotta Love DCUs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6apparently, that was all it took. I was smitten.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106387.php\"><strong>More Than Just A Uniform<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153battle rattle,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and I just said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153damn.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106264.php\"><strong>Behold Thy Wondrous Uniform<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106186.php\"><strong>What Is It About A Man In Uniform?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Those who know me understand that I&#8217;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&#8217;t exactly put my finger on it, but I get weak in the knees every time I see that boy wearing his beret.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seveninchesofsense.mu.nu\/archives\/106285.php\"><strong>Yummy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>*wipes drool*<\/p>\n<p>Yeah&#8230;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&#8217;s a little bit of both.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There, if you&#8217;re a man and don&#8217;t find those motivational, well, don&#8217;t bother telling me.  And I won&#8217;t ask.<\/p>\n<p>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.
