Yup, this is me in 1955, that is 57 years ago and 57 pounds lighter. Joined the U.S. Army for a 36 month enlistment to learn to be a small arms repairman. Picture taken at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD. Joined the Army specifically to obtain this particular MOS (421.10) Those were some good days! OH yeah, that's an M2 Carbine.
