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!

Wow 38 years ago today I became a 2nd LT at Indiana University of Pennsylvania a whole day before my classmates because the next day (graduation/commissioning ceremony) I was enroute to Fort Drum, NY with my Army Reserve Unit from New Kennsington, PA.

It's a family thing. My dad retired in 1962. My wife was Navy in Desert Storm and served on the USS Mercy in Saudi.

1986 as a fresh-faced graduate of RTC Great Lakes as a ETSN. Got out in 1992 as an AT2. Other picture is from February 2017. Lot of changes in 30 years!

I'll have to see if I can find the larger, full-color photograph. This is out of the Basic Combat Training yearbook. PVT Pitchford, 1998. :-)
