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 don't have a single photograph of myself in uniform. I was in before the whole selfie craze. Of course I have my official photograph, but that's different. It's very formal. You have to do that.

CPT William Hoh That will work I've got one of those as well - check it out - i dropped the SSN# though. By the way thank you for your service and your formal head and shoulders will work great for your profile picture or you can have a current one like mine. Thanks for your service William!

Hey Col, Here is a photo of me in July 1969. I was in Boot Camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I was a member of the Drill Team company and my role was to be the "Boatswains Mate" for the RTC Graduation Ceremonies. In this photo, I was "Piping" a retiring Chief Petty Officer with his fellow Chiefs as the "Side Boys" This traditional ceremony is called "Tending the Side" and it is a tradition when a VIP arrives or departs a Navy ship.

PO3 Bill Estrem,
I love these tidbits of Service History. I have heard "Piping" when going on some ship tours- and over at Pearl Harbor. I think that requires some technique to get right.
Smiles, SGT Hughes

Photo taken on the day I (18yr old) received my appointment as a Cadet at the US Coast Guard Academy Class of 84. Two fellow SN Coasties tossed me into San Diego Bay near Naval Training Center. I was attending BOOST. June 1980.
