While digging through 25 years worth of personal effects, looking to get rid of a lot of pointless junk that has accumulated over the course of my life (and without which I could really do), I found stacks of photos — hundreds of them — that I took while I was in the Army in Korea from 1988 to 1990.
Sorting them and identifying the people in the pictures will be an overwhelming task… but I think I might scan a few and post them here from time to time.
For now, a picture from October 1988, somewhere near the DMZ in South Korea, a much younger me takes a break to listen to a cassette and write home.
Wow. I used to have hair.
Wow, BDUs? I thought when you were in the choice was between Blue or Gray jackets depending on your home state?
(Popping white smoke and running away.)
Blue or red, depending on one’s loyalties.
Obviously they never “asked”, or you never “told”.

That’s just so not right.
Russ, yer alright in my book.
No mattter what the others say about ya.
rj3000,
It just looks that way becasue Russ’s mustache actually met the standards in 670-1. That’ll make any gaydar go off.
Indicentally, Russ, tell us you don’t wear that anymore, eh?
The mustache surprised and disoriented me as well–good thing you weren’t in the navy!
And you were indeed in great shape–better than at Wheaton! A fine specimen for not only jamming but intimidating the Norks. :) (Or was your physical and mental conditioning due only to your following the lead of Kim Jong Il, the world’s greatest athlete? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDBCGNGAypY )
I was going for the Tom Selleck look. The mustache was all I could manage.
Love the photo! Yes, I do read you.
