My guess would be San Diego, no mountains like that at P.I., only sand. He looks alot like you too Bill. You must be very proud of him. I wish him good luck. Semper Fi, JoeQuote:

Joe, if you hold my baby pictures against Jeff's baby pictures, the only way to tell the difference is mine are black and white!

Sorry it's not an M1 rifle photo :o
Jim, There was a time I wished I was "never there" either. LOL
Probably while at the hands of some DI or another. Contemplating life in the pushup position...
Great pics and I bet you are proud. I have a question about that second pic. The barrel profile is not an M4 stepped barrel. Is it a rubbie duckie? Or do they actually issue carbines other than M4's with a straight barrel? I have seen a few of these in pictures or videos, but not very often.Quote:
