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!

The first was while at Chanute. I was in phase II so we could leave the base, but only in uniform. The other was after graduation and I wanted a picture where Major General Carl Smith stood. I carried the Texas flag during graduation which might be while I love living here so much.

A1C (Join to see) That is very close to my hometown of Washington, IL. I stored all my household goods there when I PCS'd back from Europe. Know it well. Thanks for sharing!

The Vogelweh shopping center in K-Town was where I bought my stereo equipment
in 1969. I liked visiting K-Town when I had off duty time.

SGT Felix Encarnacion,
I was over at Schweinfurt back then around the time of SPC Woody Bullard ( a bit later, but not much). Funny I hated Field duty but always went on the Volksmarches if I was off Duty on Saturdays. LOL Thanks for your Service.

CPT Eric Rosa,
BDU"s were the "NEW" Uniform when I was in! Gone were the OD Green Fatigues. We thought the new BDU"s were cool! Thanks for your service, and the memories! SGT Hughes.
