Suspicious Profiles with NO PROFILE PIC

I agree, Sgt Arthur Went, but if the profile is otherwise complete and looks legit, there could be a simple explanation for no photo. Maybe the individual has a hard time posting a photo. Even as I write that, I find it hard to believe, but it's possible, especially with older, less computer savvy folks (and I'm older, so I feel qualified to say that).

Another possibility is that the individual is being super cautious about what is posted on social media.

This is what those profiles remind me of:

Sgt,
I retired so long ago, I don't even have a uniform and a picture of me in uniform would be so old that it would be pointless. In addition after I retired I completed a second career. So given that there is no picture. For me if I can give someone advice or help I will. I enjoy this site because the discourse does not degrade to name calling or worse and it keeps me abreast of what issues are facing service members now. Now I must admit I have worked some purple tours but I am do not always understand the all of the nuances of the other services so I try to keep out of those. Anyhow Semper Fi to you and good luck on your career.
