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!

June, 1964 @ Ft. Knox, KY. Just out of AOB 12 with my bride to be, who although not wearing a yellow ribbon, was wearing a yellow dress.

Deborah Gregson - lol, I've always wondered why people think that a beard is a way to hide something? Actually I am emulating "Grizzly Adams", a favorite TV character from my youth. Or so my mom tells me. ;) All I can say is that I really hate shaving.

"Put this on"; "Sit down"; "Look this way"; *click*; "NEXT!"
PVT Allison E. Greer, Ft. Jackson, SC, October 1983. 5 months out of high school and you couldn't tell me a thing.... seems like a lifetime ago.

Thank you Sir. Actually, the timeline was 2008 before the BDU's were phased out.
