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!

Well, I’m civilian/military family - so I’ll share a photo of my Daddy (SSgt USMC), my son (SSgt USAF) and an old (kinda TinkerBell-y, for you, COL Mikel J. Burroughs!)

Rather than myself, I'd like to honor my Dad entering the Army in WWII.

He spent most of his time in Canada and Alaska working on the vehicles that were used in building the ALCAN highway. I have driven to AK a couple of times (have a Daughter serving in the USAF there) and have seen a few of the WWII trucks at an RV Park in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Thank you for your service COL Mikel Borroughs and for your work on this site.

Hell no it was that one they take of you in basic training with your battle rattle on and look like a raving babyface psycho!
