Sergeant major of the Army approves new background for official photos
WASHINGTON — The Army has approved a new background option for portraits and DA photos, Sergeant Major of the Army Dan Dailey announced today.
The background, officially titled “Background, Photographic, #88, Totally Fly,” features a criss-crossed network of luminescent pink and azure laser beams set against a subdued field of midnight blue.
Dailey conveyed his enthusiasm about the new photo option.
“The chief [of staff] and I decided that we need an inspiring photo backdrop, one that puts the professionalism and honor of the American soldier on full display,” Daily said.
“We’re also at a time where we are looking to the past for inspiration,” he continued. "The early '90s were a time of great heroism and noble sacrifice in the American Army, from the deserts of Iraq to the streets of Mogadishu. I can think of no better way to honor the legacy of our 1990s military than by this classic backdrop.”
“I think you’ll agree that, as they used to say, it’s 'all that and a bag of chips,'” he added.
