Correct -- my mistake. We lived on one of the historic quarters on Lee Ave (built in the 1890s for captains commanding cavalry companies) on Ft Myer, just around the corner from the Army Band building (while I was on active duty), and I later taught at the National War College on Ft McNair (as a civilian). Fat finger mistake.

That looks closer to enlistment’s 1930 pattern dress emblem for hat.   May want to post closeup of the EGA.

I just need the money, I'm going for a mid-68 impression  i see in alot if picturers mid 68 the just have frames and no ruck or no ruck at all. I know of a couple more pictures, and I will try to find them 

My collection is a tiny tiny fraction of what some of you folks have. But after having to box it all up and move it out of my “home museum” to make way for the painters, I was heartily swearing to never buy or otherwise obtain one more thing 🤬! Ever!  Well, at least until the next cool thing I find… FYI, books are heavy!  One good thing though, I found my long lost brain 🤪.  mikie

You need more gear, LOL a lightwieght ruck loaded. Add a LAW rocket and two cans of 7.62 ammo add a towel around your neck and an M-16 a few more pounds just before your back breaks. Ha Ha... 

Thank you sir.  I appreciate it!

Wado Matt,   Excellent post

Thanks Ken.  Fairly clear photograph for back then.  The detail shows up pretty good.

Thank you.  Yes, that's me (on the right) I hope I didn't scare anyone too much.
