Got the correct date, locaton and unit for this, Hawaii 1914, 4th Cavalry.

 

In 1907, the balance of the regiment was reassigned to Fort Meade, South Dakota, while the 3rd Squadron was assigned to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The 4th Cavalry served on the Mexican border in Texas from 1911 to 1913. For the next six years, the regiment served at Schofield Barracks in the Territory of Hawaii and did not participate in World War I. In 1919

VFA-31 Tomcatters - Pilots using enlisted men as pool attendants

Pretty sure that was a photoshop making fun of Air Force duty

[Flightpath]

I don't think it's photoshop Brig, inflatable pools are a bit of a tradition when they can get away with it ........ (Hope the move to Quantico went well!)

Not exactly goofing off, but taking a break may be more like it. O-Club on the Korean DMZ ca. late 1950's early 1960's.

Deep in the Cold War aboard a Cruiser in 1982......

 

26 hours tracking Commies on a console in CIC?  No, I'm just fine Chief, why do you ask?

Looks like a oversized painted on star on that helmet there right, not like what is commonly seen, a small metal star.

Flight deck picnic with beer served on the U.S.S. Nimitz CVN-68, April 12, 1980, Gulf of Oman, on the occasion of 100 continuous days at sea. I am the one with the ratty beard and the can of Miller lite.

 

I still have the can!
