    Was in town today taking some shite pictures :roll: and seen this fellow perched up on top the GPO. Thought it looked a bit odd….. anyways C&C as always, appreciated.

    Oh and if anyone knows why he’s up there I’d love to hear it.
    Cheers

    yeah defo a soldiew. Looked like he had a bit of radio equipment up there also. Looked pretty unusual to see him peeking out and moving around up there. Didn’t really have time to stick around see what he was doing.

    Is there an Easter Parade this weekend, maybe even a Republican type thing? Could be security related?

    haha, I was thinking of the white house while I was taking the picture Pat. Did you get a nice little talking to by some NSA guys for taking snaps of the White House?

    Jasus no, that was taken waaay back on Pennsilvania Ave and I’m surprised it came out so well as it was taken with a Kodak fixed lens compact. Really a toy to what s going around here. But turned out some good stuff.

    Hi Brian,

    you got a 100% crop of the guy himself?

    Camo pattern looks irish army, but hard to see at this size…

    The radio equipment to his left looks military standard too, and the headset definitely is.

    Cheers

    Deffo Irish all right but can’t make out his rank.. probably Cpl.

    Might have something to do with what nfl said all right.

    In Irish army, 3 stripes is sgt … but the stripes are chevron’d:

    Which make his look a little odd.

    Looks like he’s just testing radio comms, as I see no other gear/weapon – as nfl says, it’s probably advance setup for Easter…
