Your Military photos

[Candyman]

Ok guys, dig out some of those old Military photos and post them up.

Here I am (on the right) back in Sept of 1983 on Guard Duty at Camp Hansen, Okinawa.

Oct of 1983 at the top of hill 150 in the CTA ( Centreal Training Area ) Okinawa. I had hair back then. I'm in the middle.

This one was taken at 29 Palms, CA. (Mojave Desert) in 1984. Yes that is an M16A1 I am holding and a LAW rocket on my back.

Working aloft. Was up here a lot.

This was the scene looking aft almost every night.

I'm on the left. We went only with sidearms that day. I felt like I had 10000 tiny eyeballs trained on me the whole time...

A long time ago. 1986-ish



I spent 6 years on the USS West Virginia SSBN-736. I am a plankowner and made 5 deterent patrols


Then I worked in Nuclear Repair as a planner and work supervisor on two submarine tenders, the USS Dixon AS-37 and USS McKee AS-41. We performed major maintenance on the various nuclear systems for the boats in our squadron. My niche was nuclear valve repairs and replacements and radioactive liquid waste transfers.

Yup, I remember those days too. Hill Billy Armor. What's funny is I remember the contractors who were cutting the metal were telling my Soldiers that it can stop 7.62. LOL

I love this one the best so far of all the ones posted.

There is something amazingly iconic about a black/white candid shot of a soldier with a cigarette in his hand. You won't see that now and with good reason. But these are the historical photos I grew up looking at. The solid green fabric instead of the 1990s camo BDUs.

I will say staying out of pictures has kept me out of alot of trouble....
