Just a few :roll:
That was your 'I'm a fucking STUD baby!' picture was it? :lol:
No offense, but it looks like a 'please...I'm never gonna get laid' pic..
Now mine said, 'Look at that goofy fucker..'
:D
Ah, the infamous BCGs. I swear making all people in Boot wear those was to see if we really could take humiliation and abuse. :lol: I rather liked the glasses worn in the submarine fleet.

Now those look sharp! :)
You got glasses? YOU GOT GLASSES?????? All I got was a fucking poopy suit and deck shoes. And the Weapon's Officer, who had the same size feet as me, took my on-ship issue of Boondockers, not once, but twice. And I wasn't even in his fucking division. I want to go back in time and kill that fucker.

did ya take the lenses out for the pic? also are you really 12 in the pic, and lastly, did they just invent color?
hehehehehehe
Kodachrome..... give you those nice bright colors, the greens of summer.... looks like a picture from my old Polaroid.
That picture should be the recruiting picture for the next big war! Young men and boys, even the ones who are bullied will say, 'If he can do it so can I! I wanna be a stone cold hig?ly trained killing machine too!' ***recommends to office of recruiting & propaganda..
I'll play.

Wow, the Marines wear rouge in their pictures! Or the photographer was just telling dirty jokes that made you blush in anger that day. :D
lol, sunburn.
you got that look, " I don't know how to kill you yet, but I will!"
It's that, 'this fucking collar is strangling me!' look..
Such a Hollywood shot. It was a fucking fake vest and four hats. They slapped it on over cammies, slammed a hat on our head and told us to get the fuck out. I think I was in shock. lol

The US military misleading the public? :shock: I'm aghast!
My basic training pic wasn't much different from either of your pics. Of course, the technology was much lower tech then. Think the photos taken in the Flintstones cartoons. Same general era.

You know I'm really Captain America, right?
Jmpty, you look thrilled beyond thrilled to represent a nation and at the ready to stand up for truth, justice and the american way! Undoubtedly there was a phone booth nearby to change into tights and cape then. I know the navy supplied me with all that.
/snark
You guys looked like little kids. It scares me to see pictures of just how young soldiers really are.

I think they put the glasses on him to make him look older.
I'm laughing so hard I have to go to the bathroom now........... R. O. F. L. M. A. OOooooooff
dear jesus
Former squid here, don't have access to my bootcamp pic or I'd post it =/
I know one of my boot pics is at my grandparent's in Louisiana, and I think dad used to have one. If I still have any, they are buried on my storage locker.

How conveeeeeeeenient. ;)
Considering I live in Nevada, hated the pic, and 1994 was nearly 20 years ago, it's normal.

Shut the fuck up dude, I failed out of the Air Force, so that "goofy fucker" did what I couldn't do. Just thank him for his service.

Kimmie, I met you on the Atheist Network, it wouldn't surprise me that you said you served, but I don't remember. What service?
Brian, after nearly a decade posting together, you forgot I am a US Navy veteran? For shame. :(
I was 17. I'm 54 now. It was Viet Nam era. Man I'm old.
Here's another child soldier picture. I remember the guy to my right was like 30. We called him pops.

Thanks for your service ... but the OP is pulling a gag.
Brian..I was in the Navy.. I live in a veterans shelter now. If jmpty is offended he doesn't need you to wrap him in the flag. I served powdered eggs so you could whine. ;)

I hold powdered chickens responsible for that debacle.
It wasn't the powdered eggs in and of themselves so much as the green tint the cooked eggs acquired after being put in the mermite cans.
We ate alot of grits as well, possibly since I spent alot of time in the south. Ft. Knox,KY., Ft Polk, LA, Ft Benning, GA. I got used to them, butter and sugar.

Certainly the US military didn't serve 1 minute grits. :shock:
