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!

This was 27 May 2011 at Ft Jackson, SC. The next morning was the first REAL day of basic, shark attack and all. Luckily I had the clearity of mind to send this to my girlfriend at the time to post to Facebook. Now I'll have that date saved for the rest of my life.
