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 graduated from Georgetown University in 1965 and gained my commission as a second lieutenant. My two nieces placed the gold bars on my uniform. I have written about my military experience as a missile launch officer at Whiteman AFB. There are two chapters in my memoir available on Kindle or Amazon, entitled Transitions: American Values of Democracy and Free Markets in Post-Cold War World. It details my career from a cold war warrior to a democratic reformer in programs that I designed in nearly all the former Soviet Union countries, Chile, El Salvador, South Sudan, etc. I wrote the first articles on the low morale and the morality of launching Minuteman ICBMs. Many former launch officers and SAC commanders now believe that ICBMs should be taken off alert and the US should renounce first use of ICBMs. Ted Weihe, Sarasota, Florida.
