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!

About 20 minutes before I went on terminal in 2013. That's me on the right with the help of a chief select holding my career blanket. I had that thing stitched together with stuff from bootcamp all the way to my last deployment.

My retirement Ceremony in June 2009. Was a very special day. I did two joint assignments (SOUTHCOM and PACOM), so I had two from each service (both active and reserve) as my side boys. In addition, Lt Gen "Fig" Leaf, USAF (ret) and PACOM Deputy Commander during a good portion of my tour was my retirement speaker. Ceremony was held in the Seabee Chapel at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Port Hueneme, Where my wife Chelsea were married 17 years earlier. During the ceremony, I proposed to her again and we renewed our vows. Photos show the side boys, presentation of the LOM from CAPT Jim McHugh, CO NBVC, me proposing to Chelsea, My retirement certificate with CAPT McHugh and Lt Gen Leaf and the "request to go ashore".

The last picture of me in uniform was taken in October 1983 as I was awarded the Legion of Merit at my retirement ceremony.
