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!

As a Battalion Sergeant Major (I was the CSM of a battalion only authorized a SGM in the position, even though I'd been a CSM designee for all but the first two months of my assignment there), my Brigade Commander and CSM and Battalion Commander decided I needed a full Brigade parade for my retirement ceremony. It was a beautiful day at the end of May, 1994, with the full brigade and a local Army field band. Here are a few pictures.
The opening line of my speech was: "When I found out I would be having a full parade with all you Soldiers standing tall today, I asked a number of you what you thought I should talk about. The best response I got was from one PFC who thought very seriously about standing out here in the sun, before responding 'I think you should talk about three minutes.' So that's what I'm going to try to do."

This is a photo of my Dad at the end of WW II. Notice the unit patch. My father was the American Army Air Corps Liaison to the Russian Air Force for the bombing of Berlin. His job was to coordinate Russian and American bombing. By the way, Navigators in those days were considered Engineers...
