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!

Not the 1st but I only have in about 4 yrs at this point. I am on the right. 2nd year in the national Guard. That is not a pink rag. The photo is distorted. It was a red table cloth we had torn up to clean weapons with. I was showing off for the photo and made a dew rag out of it. We where in Camp McCain MS. We where OPFOR. we had smoked the Tn ACR unit while training. M113's and Dismounted Infantry, against M1's and Bradley's. I was the RTO for the platoon/Dragon Gunner.

I noticed you had Ft. Huachuca and based on the radio equipment in the background, were you with the 505th Sig ?
