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!

Picture of my Dad (PFC Don Burroughs, Korean War Veteran)

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

No photographs. In my last assignment we were expected to be anonymous and not draw any attention to ourselves. No cameras were allowed in the Caserne; same thing for work sites and in deployments.

My last picture taken in uniform is my profile picture. My next to last was at a Special Assignment as a LOGISTICs Manager. I was Maintenance but a Graduate of the NCOLP (Non commissioned Officer Logistics Program) so.. I got "Volunteered" to lead up this Project. Can You Tell How Happy I was?

SGT Carl Blas - No Playboy. I believe it was the Army SUPPLY Update, AR 710-2, AR 735-5 and DA Pam 710-2. Or AR 735-5... they were my Staples of Reference...

SGT Carl Blas - Thank YOU! Not so sharp anymore, This assignment was a Special "favor" to the Battalion Commander. HA HA like I could say NO. I am surprised I smiled. I was probably looking at some data from the previous day and they caught me off guard.

From a while ago. I didn't receive a retirement ceremony or anything. I loved serving and being in uniform. Kind of bittersweet feeling being done. Not a lot of support from leadership when I was in. Pic of 2 of my girls and I at Veteran's day celebration at school 2 years ago.

I do in the ship. But the really awesome ones burned in a house fire 25 years ago along with my cruise jacket. COL Mikel J. Burroughs I feel the boo hoo coming I'll consider that one picture.

PO3 Phyllis Maynard - Try the one picture and that is really a bummer. There are several veterans that have lost some great photos because of that very same reason.
