Does Active Duty deliver what it promises on the outside?

Some sites put the same set of dog tags on every guy and call themselves military. Dink Flamingo's Active Duty is the real thing. Dink learned his trade from a master and has been in business for several years. This is a quality amateur site where the all American servicemen are authentic. We know that because, unfortunately, some of his models were recently drummed out of the military under the shameful don't ask, don't tell policy. A few of the guys are civilians who fit the look of the true servicemen on the site.

The preview tour isn't very generous, but does accurately describe what subscribers will see.

What's good about Active Duty? What needs improvement?

The opening page has a newsy weekly update describing the latest content. Scrolling down the page reveals previous updates. Buttons at the top navigate to the content. The layout is simple and effective.

Each week there are 6 full-length videos from the Dirk Flamingo archive to view. Dink's style is to start each video with an off camera interview of the guys. The banter seems natural and playful. He gets the stats without sounding like he's reading from a checklist. Many of the guys are gay for pay and a little nervous. Cigarettes and beer seem to help as Dink negotiates for what will take place.

Once the action is underway, Dink moves the camera around to get the best view. This is amateur stuff and the action is happening on the fly. If you get-off watching a guy being deflowered, Dink seems to be an expert in capturing that scenario.

The photo sets on the site are screen captures from the videos, which are lower in resolution than a good photo. That is not a huge negative in my view.

None of the content can be downloaded and there is no full screen video option. The viewing window in the broadband speed is adequate. The videos are only available via Windows Media Player leaving Mac users out in the cold.

How is Active Duty unique?

Except for the bonus material, all of the content is exclusive. The concept isn't original but Dink has a unique style that I enjoy. He has Southern charm that gets these boys to drop their drawers and feel good while in front of the camera. Military life takes away from the individual in favor of the team. Dink gives these men some of their individualism back.

What do paying users recieve for their money?

PC users with a military fetish have a great option here. Mac boys will probably want to look elsewhere.
