Never know where a Garand might turn up...

My wife and I visited Athens last year and visited the old Royal Palace.

Ceremonial Guards were armed!

The 1st picture is too small...... can't see enough detail.

How on earth do they think they would be taken seriously with those fluffy shoes

I notice that the guard has his rear sight set for long range.

At least he has the guts to serve his Country and dress like that as compared to the majority of our younger generation that is to lazy being Liberals and even afraid to get there hands dirty let alone a splinter in there hand and cry to mommy.

BTW..Good picture!

Yeah, nice pics.
The Greeks received plenty of Garands after WWII.

I bet not many bug them about it.

The guards were giants. I'm 6' and in one of the pictures I'm posing next to the guy and look puny in comparison. Guy must have been 6'6".

A classic rifle. Wish I had more of them!

I'm sorry, but if some Japanese school girl wore that outfit she would look the same with a school uniform lol

Any guy who has the b@lls to dress like that is not one to mess with. I'm sure their guards are choice troops.

Nice Garand by the way. Jealous.

[Mustang]

As I said, it seemed to me that you would screw with these guys at your own risk. They were BIG and serious looking.

Here's me (6') standing next to one...

....and people like to make fun of us Scotts for our Kilts.

Great photos!

The Greeks returned a bunch of M-1s, 03s, and 03A3s to the U.S. in the last decade that the CMP got in turn and sold. Some of the M-1s were in unissued condition. Looks like they kept some for ceremonial use.

A bit of that minority of the younger generation is liberal and has served in combat. I work with one such individual. He is half my age, but I respect him more than anyone else I know. He also can write correct English. He also does not use run-on sentences.
