Let's have some great picture memorabilia!
I'm really going out on a limb here with this one. There were some really great photos of RP Members in their very first uniform picture. Thanks for sharing everyone who participated - that is still going by the way!

Now let's get some pictures of the last days in uniform posted!

The picture in uniform I gave my wife 1958 before Christmas when we got engaged. In the other one was taken a year ago on one of my book-signing. The wedding picture was taken on 6/6/1959 8 month before my discharge from the Army.

I am sorry, no I do not. My leaving the service was a quiet one. I signed the necessary papers from Fort Riley and then left for the National Guard and started to serve there two months later and when i finished there It was a silent good bye, after the Christmas party, two weeks later. No fanfare no handshakes, just a you will get your discharge papers signed by the Governor in the mail.

I’m still a few years away from retiring, but this is my last/most recent picture in uniform that’s on my phone. It’s me curling one of the bridesmaid’s hair for my son’s wedding 4 NOV.

I'll have to go one better than just my last official Navy Picture and my first as a Command Master Chief as well. I will also include my Boot picture and the one of me in my very first uniform ever. hope no one cares if I share all of them. (Whites was USS Anzio (CG-60), Blues was USS Nashville (LPD-13)

Capt Christian D. Orr
This was actually about 2.5 years AFTER I separated from active-duty but was still in the IRR; I decided to put my uniform back on for Memorial Day 2009 as I went to the Veteran's Cemetery in Westwood, CA to pay my respects.

Wow, you guys have some great photos. I'm just a poor swabbie and don't have anything fancy. Here's my last photo I have in uniform, around 8 - 10 June 1993 during BALTOPS 93. On board USS Deyo DD-989.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - if I had gotten out during my first enlistment I might have had one just like this or maybe as a SP in whites. Looking good Shipmate.
