    A U.S. Army soldier named Raia, wearing ACU (Army Combat Uniform) with the rank of Specialist or Sergeant, is sitting on what appears to be a military helicopter and playing a black Les Paul-style electric guitar. He is smiling broadly at the camera, creating a contrast between military equipment and musical leisure. The name tape reads 'RAIA' and the chest tape reads 'US ARMY'.
