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!

Two early ones. One is a 1989 FTX as a First Year ROTC Cadet (I am actually the Skinny Guy!). The other is as a 2LT in 1995-ish with one of my NCOs. MST life baby!

Not my very first picture but I think it's the oldest I can find. I'm the pale stick holding the guideon.
