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!

Not the first but definitely one of the first. Here I am up one of the hills "enjoying" potatoes au gratin (or some other concoction that came with the MREs) at MCT with 52 Area in the background. This was Nov '92. The Quonset huts no longer exist and there are more real buildings all over that place today.

This was in Panama in 1989 or 1990 when the Army still issued fatigues besides BDU's there.

Commissioning
Very stereotypical, I know, but this is a photograph taken shortly after commissioning. Within five minutes, the girlfriend called me 'Lieutenant Oxymoron'. May 2015, Norwich University, Vermont.
