Photo Of The Day and we have some Modern Swedish Vikings in the bayou around the Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi (United States). This is a NAVY partnership between the countries, and they are in fact a Swedish special boat unit training on the location.
It seems they kept the Minigun warm. Looks like a lot of fun. Not sure if being a boat gunner beats being a door gunner? What’s your take if you were looking for a job?
Both day and night…
Caption from the original Tweet by the U.S. Navy, which is the source for the pictures.

It’s not every day you see a Swede on the bayou! #NavyPartnerships 🇸🇪

All of the previous POTD pictures with soldiers from Sweden and the USA together have been from Swedish soil: “U.S. Marines in Arvidsjaur, Sweden“, “U.S. Army Special Forces Train With Swedish Home Guard” and “U.S. Special Forces with Swedish Ak 4B Rifles“.
