Personal Military Photos and Memories

I’ve been unpacking boxes and stuff since moving into our new house and came across lots of old pics, including many from my old Army days. I know we have a lot of former military members here (and maybe some still serving), and thought it would be neat to get a nice thread going to post your personal photos and memories. Especially with many of us getting up there in age. ;) It does not matter what country or branch (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, etc.). Share anything you want. Old pictures, stories, memories, etc.

Maintenance in an NBC environment training. Fort Eustis, VA,

In 2004, while working at ABC News in New York, I volunteered for the what the company called "go teams" which meant that I had to take CNBR survival training. That training was taught by a former British Army specialist who claimed to have written the guidelines for those scenarios. The catalyst for the training was the Republican convention and they expected that there might be a follow up to the 911 attacks. My final exam for the course was getting my hazmat suit complete with gas mask on in 30 seconds (the time might be different since it was 18 years ago). I passed the test!
