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!

I think this photo was taken at the in-processing station at Ft. Jackson, circa 1986. Then, I remember taking my basic training in winter time down yonder.

SGT Dick Johnson - I have looked at satelite views of the area, it looks like it has really changed. The WWII barracks we used appear to be gone along with some of the "fun" training areas.

Maybe not the first, but the first that I have. (Funny thing, this was the only time I wore this. Wound up in security and wore nothing but fatigues)
