I know I said this a LONG time again, but the Coastie in the banner is a mirror image of the real photo. We do not hold our swords in our left hands. Any way to fix that?

Sword is still in the wrong hand and there are still no females represented in the photo.
Any chance SAF is working on a new banner for the website yet? I know 1 year and 4 months is quick by DC standards, but seems a bit slow for the interwebnet....
What I had originally brought up:
1. The Coast Guard cadet (second from the left) is likely a reverse image. I don't know any any manual of arms that has someone at "present arms" with their left hand.
2. There are no females in the banner picture. I'm not saying we should have a white guy, black guy, Indian, Asian, etc etc etc.... but perhaps ONE female is in order.
Yep, that's about it though.
We're have to get her to put down the saber and pick up a sword....
At West Point we always said Saber so maybe it's just a Coast Guard thing?
As Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard all call it a "sword" I would think "saber" is just some Army thing.
