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!

SPC Osborne: I was told about the "Fulda Gap" and the armor troops patrolling that
Russian invasion area into West Germany had the people in Moscow decided to move
west. You guys would have been one of the first to engage the Soviet military in combat. Tough duty assignment!! Thanks for your service. Another "Cold War" veteran.

Not the very first, but pretty darn close. This was within a month of entering the academy and after dropping to 147 pounds at 6'3".

This was me in my ACUs that I was issued at RSP before shipping to BCT where I got new OCPs issued. The second picture is the first picture I took in my OCPs, after we were about to leave Basic Training and I finally got my phone back and was able to take some pictures.
