ALL New Connections - Back by Popular Demand! I'm still receiving some great photos from all you RP Members. THANKS!

Keep them coming!

All you photogenic military personnel out there in RP Land let’s have a little photo session just to lighten it up today! Share the first photograph or the earliest photograph of yourself when you entered the military and tell us the date of the photo.

I'll start with Private Burroughs in 1975 at Fort Leonard Wood, MO & end with Colonel Mikel in 2005!

Missile whites in approximately 1972. My son asked when they started doing daguerreotypes in color.

December 2015. Straight out of Advanced Individual Training into my Artillery Unit at Fort Lewis. I thought it turned out pretty good.

These are my Basic Training photos taken in February 1985 at Ft. Jackson, SC. I was 17-years-old. In the platoon photo, I am in the front row, third from the left (behind the American flag and beside the male drill sergeant). . . I really dislike the individual portrait because the "Brillo pad" beret didn't fit. I was really happy when the Army designed and authorized garrison caps for women.
