About LinkBacksI can't find my basic training photo anywhere. I'm afraid it got tossed out when cleaning out storage.
Being veterans day, my kids are asking for it. Does anyone know how to obtain a new one? Surely they have to be around somewhere.

I guess the first place to start would be to contact the base where you did basic and go from there. Maybe it is just me, but I doubt they are able to furnish you with another one. Hopefully I am wrong.
Last time I looked at my photo from almost 25 years ago, I didn't know who that young snot nosed kid was.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Wouldn't any basic training photo do? After the haircut, weeks of PE, lousy food, and being yelled at 24/7 we all looked the same didn't we?
hahahaha, yeah, we did.

I'd say start hitting the plethora of Vet sites out there on the web. I know I've run across a few at some point searching for stuff for my grandfather and they had specific threads with guys uploading all their class graduation photo's etc...
edit:
Also found some info at the San Diego site here here:

Don't know if it applies since I don't know what branch you are...

If you have your year + class/platoon # I'm sure you can get a copy. Contact the depot you graduated out of for the POC of the old guy doing the graduation pics.
I can no longer keep track of threads as I used to. If you need to contact me, PM me instead of asking me something in the thread. Disclaimer - No legal advice issued anywhere. Take care.
