blah blah CRAFT INTERNATIONAL ...

You *do* know that is a logo for comic-book hero "Punisher" - right?
Several companies and clubs have incorporated that logo, and variations thereof.
Perhaps the guy works for Tidewater Tactical.
Or perhaps he works for Craft International.

When all you look for is boogymen, all you see is boogymen.
This guy is probably not a boogyman... he's probably just a soft-around-the-middle Airsoft guy, since all three photos I posted were taken from an airsoft club's website.

Or maybe he really is Frank Castle.

Wait, that does not look like the right way to do it!

Are those at your house? I've been thinking about trying to grow some. They are Thuys favorite flower.

This is PARF material and I think it should read

On Wednesday, Israeli non-profit organization SpaceIL obtained a private contract to pilot a space rover on the moon. The launch contract earns SpaceIL a "ticket to the moon" aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launcher, and is the first-ever verified launch deal awarded to a private firm. As such, serves as the starting gun for an independent space race. The contract also clears the way for Israel's maiden rover moon landing, expected in 2017 — provided everything goes according to plan.

Found out some more trivia..........................and an apparent connection.

The Military Skull Art Inspired by The Punisher | Nothing But Comics

The Punisher’s popularity among United States military personnel is evidenced by the incorporation of the character’s distinctive skull symbol into artwork generated within the military, most notably by the United States Navy’s Sea, Air, Land Teams (“Navy SEALs”) and the United States Army’s 24th Infantry Regiment..................

The 24th Infantry Regiment’s “Deuce Four Skull” insignia is clearly based on The Punisher’s skull symbol. The 24th Infantry regiment was deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004, and the “Deuce Four Skull” was painted on the walls of buildings where the regiment killed enemy combatants; the symbol became a fearsome calling card for the regiment.

The Navy’s SEAL Team 3 paints The Punisher’s skull symbol on its military gear. Reporting on former SEAL Team 3 sniper Chris Kyle (who claimed to have made 255 kills, which would make him the most lethal U.S. sniper in history), the Daily Mail notes that for SEAL Team 3 the “action was enough that the members of the unit adopted the white skull of the gun-wielding comic book vigilante The Punisher. They painted the symbol on their body armor, their vehicles and even their weapons.” The New Yorker, reporting on Kyle’s death, also notes the use of The Punisher’s skull symbol by SEAL Team 3: “Kyle seemed to consider himself a cross between a lawman and an executioner. His platoon had spray-painted the image of the Punisher—a Marvel Comics character who wages ‘a one-man war upon crime’—on their flak jackets and helmets.” Kyle liked the skull symbol so much that he incorporated it into the logo of his company Craft International, which provides tactical training for military and law enforcement personnel.
