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 any photos of myself in uniform. Just the initial photo I had from basic training and that was only because I had to have it done. A few photos when I became a government contractor, but nothing much.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Yes. He is now 13 and six feet tall. Strange thing is I don't have a single picture of me in my E-8/9 dress uniform.
