Utah Guard probes risque video
Apparently, some scantily-clad women filmed a video to promote a calender or something and they were riding in military vehicles and firing weapons and the Utah National Guard think that might be their equipment in the video. Similarly, the Utah Department of Public Safety is probing themselves silly, too, because two officers appeared in uniform in the video, according to the Army Times;
Both agencies criticize the video — a promotional “behind the scenes” look at how they shot this year’s “Hot Shots Calendar” — for its edgy content. It features British women wearing camouflage bikinis and other tight clothing while shooting guns, riding in military-type vehicles and striking seductive poses.
“Productions of this kind are not in keeping with the values of the Utah National Guard nor its members,” the National Guard said in a statement.
[…]
The National Guard learned about the video on Tuesday, and it’s hoping to wrap up its probe of the incident in the coming days, Fairbourn said.
Yeah, how long does it take to look at a video and determine whether your vehicles were used? How many times do you have to watch that video, Carl?
They should all stop being prudes. Just because GI Joes are all smooth down there, that doesn’t mean the rest of us are, too. I’m sure there are other things the Utah Guard can be probing that don’t include scantily-clad British models.
Oh, the website is Hot Shots Calender and all proceeds are for the troops – British Troops – they say.
Nothing happens unless there is video, they tell me so…

Other than a few PPE challenges.
GTG.
So that wasn’t a promo video to make guys sign up instead of watching football and drinking beer on weekends?
Shame we didn’t see anything looking like them in the 6 1/2 years spent at Dugway Proving Ground. Question: What do you call four women walking together like they are in Utah? Answer: My wives :>))
I used to work at Dugway Proving Ground, first for Department of Defense Police, and later, in the Fire Department.
It was back in 1977?
I left there to attend Brigham Young University on a full scholarship specifically designated just for disabled military veterans.
I really LOVED being at Dugway Proving Ground!
There was so much Old West history every where you looked.
As a Department of Defense Police officer, I could go where other employees weren’t allowed, and out there, that covered a LOT of territory!
Still, precisely because it was Dugway Proving Ground, there were especially dangerous areas which we were under strict orders to avoid, and where nobody in their right mind would ever dare enter, for ANY reason.
Send those girls over to Iraq/Syria dressed like that and watch how fast ISIS/ISIL falls.
For the British troops? Roll eyes…ok, I won’t go there.
“Productions of this kind are not in keeping with the values of the Utah National Guard nor its members,”
Are you fucking kidding me?
When did it become against our “values” to be a heterosexual male?
‘When did it become against our “values” to be a heterosexual male?’
…or heterosexual female?
I’d estimate that date at 20 January 2009 or shortly thereafter.
Ditto. One thing is for sure, and it’s that liberals are heterophobes and Christianophobes!!
That’s just SO sad.
But now I understand why Dr. Friedbrain, the head of the CDC, agrees to studies on fat lesbians.
All I can say is what my granddad used to say: Oh, for the days when men were men and women were glad of it.
Could be worse. There are parts of Utah where the men are men…and the sheep are scared!
When did it become against our “values” to be a heterosexual male?
That would be Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Darn it Hondo! You beat me to it!
I’ve never had any association with the Utah National Guard, but I feel perfectly confident in saying that beautiful women wearing as little as possible while handling and firing automatic weapons is perfectly in accordance with the overwhelming majority of their personnel (the guys, anyway). To say otherwise is like saying that the sky is purple.
As for the State Troopers, that could very well be at no fault of theirs. The same thing happened to an LA City FD engine company in Venice Beach a few years ago. They walked out of a store to find a pornstar on top of their engine flashing her tits at a couple of cameras. They immediately told her to get off the engine and asked that the camera crew not use footage of their engine. The porn crew not only used the footage, but employed some creative editing (otherwise known as Michael Moore Filmmaking) to create the false appearance of the engine crew watching and encouraging the pornstar. The city promptly began railroading these guys out of a job. Their saving grace was when the pornstar appeared on the news speaking in their defense, telling what happened and what her editors had pulled. This could easily be a similar type of thing. If so, they’d better not try to come down on the troopers.
Apparently Mormons do know how to a have a good time without alcohol or caffeine.
IMO
Not everybody in Utah are Mormons.
Amen!
I’m an active Mormon, and I go out and have a great time with friends without drinking. Usually I’m their DD. I once was asked how on earth I can have fun without drinking. My responce….I have a personality. The person asking me had nothing else to say to that lol.
Not trying to be a prude or argumentative, your comment just reminded me of that funny conversation.
My designated driver drove me to drink!
(And I never thanked him.)
Hey, Mormons are people too! Saint John Moses Browning (as he is called in my family’s Catholic household) was a devout Mormon!
Besides, they’re Mormon, they’re not dead!
Obviously I kid. Nothing but love for my LDS friends, even if their church is weird…(kidding again, they say the same about me!)
How can they be people? I heard they don’t have souls. Or maybe I’m mixing Mormons up with Gingers…
Can I join the Utah NG after I have already retired?
I’m certain you can join the Utah State Guard.
You’ll find them by inquiring at the local Utah National Guard armory.

I served in the regular United States Army, followed by service in the Utah National Guard, followed by service in the Utah State Guard.

Here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, we CURRENTLY have retirees from the United States Army serving in the Mississippi State Guard.
Whore porn.
And?
You say that like it’s a bad thing. 🙂
Purely to make a pun on “war porn”. I actually enjoyed watching it.
BOOBIES, so not really an issue for me.
There were military vehicles in that vid?
AW1Ed…By golly there ARE military vehicles in that video! I had to watch it for the 6th time to find them.
Sparks,your eyes are better than mine then.I wasn’t able to pick out any military vehicles until the 13th viewing.
My eyesight got worse the more times I watched it…
Oh, and I had to shave the palms of my hand, wazzup with that ???
Pro tip: Electrolysis.
I don’t know about vehicles, but after the twentieth viewing I realized that there is an article attached to the video.
Twist…You shittin me? Now I GET to look at it again for the article. Bummer! 😀
I am not tracking!
I see no issues here!
Smokin’ hot chicks and MIL equipment … Perfect match!
If the first thing you noticed was the fact they weren’t wearing reflective safety belts, I have some bad news for you….
Sad this is enough to justify a probe when no one said a word as our local AF base held a LGBT day a few months back. Damn I’m glad i retired a few months back.
Keep reminding me that this ain’t the military I joined.
30 years ago, we couldn’t have come up with shit like this. Today, criticize it and you’re shown the door.
That’s because the previous SECDEF let Navy Personnel in San Diego march in a Gay Pride Parade in their UNIFORMS a year or two back.
Yes, that previous SECDEF was Pinetta. But if you were to show up to an NRA rally in your uniform, you’d be kicked out on your ass.
IN A RELATED STORY:
Rear Admiral Shichtz commented recently regarding the promotional video for an upcoming transgendered calendar, “we openly embrace different definitions what biological sex means and the video of one of them with a hood and ball gag wearing a Navy uniform demonstrates our dedication”.
I think “PROBE” may have been the wrong word to use in this particular headline.
Or the perfect word.
Just say the calendar is meant to celebrate the diversity of the LBTG community in the military, and everything will be cool.
Those are my kind of gun grabbers.
My main objections to my own service in the Utah National Guard were these:
First, as a Viet Nam veteran, I had to endure constantly overhearing guys saying how they hated being in the National Guard, and had only joined up to avoid being sent to Viet Nam, and were eagerly looking forward to receiving their discharge, as their time was FINALLY up.
Second, as a Mormon boy in a Military Police unit, I had to listen to females trying to impress (?) us guys with her loud, lewd, repeated profanities, something I find equally unacceptable in my male comrades.
When did we have an MP Unit in Utah? Must of disappeared after Vietnam
Similar to the British matrons in England, the old ladies (including a Mormon gal) living here at the Armed Forces Retirement Home created a pin-up calendar of their CURRENT photographs, as a gag and a charitable fund raiser.
No, I never had any interest in buying one of their calendars.
Mr. Mallernee sir. Do you know what “T&A” stands for in Afghanistan?
TOES AND ANKLES!!!
…nyuk nyuk nyuk.
Hope you are well now and washing down Domino’s pizza slices with grape nehi. Take care.
No issue here.
Time to move on.
God damnit 19th SF Group, now were going to have another briefing slideshow to go through. after the suicide brief but before the Sharp training
