Please Post A Picture of Yourself From 20 Years ago.

[Kurovski]

I mean, if you want to.

Here's a pic on the family flamingo farm & toad terrarium, circa 1990. I almost look like my nephew who is 30, for chrissake.

it goes by fast, kids.

[Aristus]

1. This was, I think, May 1990:

[Kurovski]

2. Where was this,

was it the first Bush family visit to the Middle east?


And thank you Sir, for your service.

[Aristus]

3. This is the Hohenfels Maneuver Training Center in Germany.

I was a tanker by training, but for my first year of active duty, I was a scout track driver for Battalion Operations. The M-113A3 shown here was a sweet machine, but nothing compared to the M1 Abrams I had trained on. After my year-long stint in Ops, I was transferred to a tank company three weeks before shipping to the Gulf...

[flying rabbit]

36. Somewhere in Germany, with that 3rd ID patch, I would guess.

:toast: from a fellow dogface soldier.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

4. Glad to.

[Kurovski]

5. Thanks!

Aviater glasses are back! :)

They'll be a classic eventually, Or are they now?

[Aristus]

6. You know, #6, I really envy you the fact that you look more badass even without

an armored vehicle than I do WITH one!

Not fair, man... ;-)

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. Such is life.

You're still bad to the bone in your own way- as are we all.

[pokerfan]

8. Sure

(Not really, I'm a lot older than that.)

[Kurovski]

10. Funny anyway.

I was waiting for the facsimiles. :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. I was only

half the woman I am today. *siiiigh*

[Kurovski]

11. *Sigh*

love and bulky sweaters kept us warm back then. I had a red one that I gave to a past friend who still wore it as of 2005. I think there's a Thanksgiving picture of it posted somewhere on line.

[Odin2005]

42. LOL, your hubby there looks like me now.

Minus the awful-looking hair and plus glasses. :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

80. Actually,

he wears glasses too. :)

[bikebloke]

12. Roughly 20 years ago.

Bike trekking New Zealand.(damn, if only I could've stayed legally without marrying someone)

[Kurovski]

21. Daddy has hot legs.

:thumbsup:

[EFerrari]

13. I've been trying to save this baby picture of the twins ca 95

It was ripped and stained. The dirt on my feet is original, though.

[Kurovski]

20. Tainted tootsies?

Never! It's just the good EaRTH.

Hi, sugar dumplin'. :hug:

So, the twins are sea otters, or what? :)

[EFerrari]

31. Yes, they were baby Labs, some difference.

:hi:

[bluedigger]

14. 1988, after a three day hike on the AT

[Kurovski]

22. Aviators again!

It's a great look.

[Roon]

51. Uh-oh...i better not let jason see you

[BlueJazz]

[Kurovski]

23. You look familiar.

Are you Justin's dad?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. More than 20 years ago, but I'm not sure of the exact year.

[Kurovski]

24. Coolest photo since the tank shot upthread.

It would make a great painting over the mantle!

[Odin2005]

43. Awesome pick!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. Actually this is closer to 30 but

it's the only one I have handy :bounce:

[Kurovski]

25. Someone had a good camera.

That's not from a Polaroid Swinger.

It's remarkable to think of how you can now get great looking photos instantly from a digital camera. by comparison, The old snapshots look like blurry little reports from a time machine.

[Bombero1956]

18. okay I'll play

This is St. Patrick's Day 1991. My brothers, my son and nephew. All in the fire service.

[Kurovski]

27. Who did the cooking?

Any great firehouse cooks in the family?

[Bombero1956]

40. our neighbors

it was their house and party.

[guitar man]

19. Around '91-92 iirc

Me and my favorite old cruiser. I thought I was Dickey Betts then. :rofl:

[Kurovski]

28. You got the hat!

Looks like you waxed that baby good.

[guitar man]

29. My house was never as clean

As I kept that automobile...wash, wax, vacuum and armor-all constantly. :D

[Amerigo Vespucci]

100. Amazing...

...I was scrolling through the photos and thought "How did Dickey Betts get in there," and that was before I read your remarks.

You certainly cultivated that look...maybe even better than Dickey!

:toast:

[LaurenG]

26. More than 20 years but not by a lot.

[Kurovski]

59. A redacted pic!

Lovely nevertheless.

[Kurovski]

60. Beautiful eyes.

And Andy Rooney in better days.

[lovemydog]

32. These are great

I love you all.

I have to get someone to scan a bunch of photos for me. I'm too busy / lazy to do it myself.

[siligut]

33. Here I am, somewhere afloat on the Caribbean.

This was back when cruise ships weren't so scary. I think my face froze this way.

[Kurovski]

62. Purty!

Did you dance a lot? 20 years ago I would have been eating and dancing, eating and dancing.

[HipChick]

Wow. I feel for you and how you look in your after picture you posted under your 20 yr old photo.

I bet you had a helluva time a couple of years ago because of how much you resembled Shrub!

[Kurovski]

56. They...

[HardWorkingDem]

77. Love that photo...

[bigwillq]

[Kurovski]

58. Awww, they're alright.

It was a free hat, made of paper. Klassy! :hi:

[Skittles]

[amerikat]

48. I should have said locally made.

local sweat shops are still better than foreign sweat shops.
Way cute pic by the way.

[Kurovski]

I recently got some old family slides and took them to a camera shop....they came out good :D

[Arugula Latte]

[amerikat]

44. How about 39 years ago.......don't have any 20 years ago on photo bucket

16 or 17. Life was a blur back then........still is now that I think about it.


EDIT to add a comma. Come to think about it one comma is enough in any post.

This should really piss off the grammer nazis.

[Skittles]

55. YEE HAW

you were exactly the kind of guy I liked to torment my parents with back then :D

[Kurovski]

57. I'm a part-time grammar nazi

So I'm only half pissed.

(I won't mention ellipses.) :D

[Haole Girl]

47. Getting in late on this

I was probably thinking, "Dad, can you just take the picture
so I can finish watching the launch?!"

[Kurovski]

65. Hard Rock t-shirts were everywhere in Chicago back then.

I had forgotten that.

Did you live in LA or FLA? Or needer? :shrug:

[Haole Girl]

82. Living in N. TX already by then

But sorely missing LA.

[ChoralScholar]

49. Not exactly 20 years ago, but

like 18 or 19 so it's close.

[Kurovski]

66. Are you still singing?

Teaching?

[ChoralScholar]

84. Teaching.

I'm a Professor now.

[Kurovski]

69. Romantic and dreamy.

They let you out that far, or did you sneak?

Were you re-shingling? :D

[jobycom]

71. I guess they did.

We paid for a ticket and climbed a very dark, narrow spiral staircase and came out there. A couple of other people wound up there, but not many. It's possible I crossed a barrier I didn't notice. I know I crossed a couple of barriers I didn't notice in other places. :) There was a rope at Sacre Couer that probably was meant to prevent us from going some of the places we went, for instance...

[MrScorpio]

72. Newly Married and at work at the Pentagon

[Aristus]

73. Good-lookin' guy!

With great taste in music.

[av8rdave]

87. 24 years ago (closest I can find). Official military photo

[Aristus]

90. You need a haircut there, bro.

Of course, I was enlisted, not an officer. Maybe an officer can get away with a 'do like that... :P

[av8rdave]

91. I was always pushing it on the hair thing.

I have way shorter hair now, in fact.

Funny story I just got from my Air Force Academy reunion, that I had forgotten all about:

When I showed up on day 1, I had hair down to the middle of my back (it was the 70s, you know). Anyway, the barbers were so impressed that while one shaved my head, another timed it with a stopwatch. I do remember it being 22 seconds. Unfortunately, the barber was concerned with speed, not accuracy. The part I forgot about was that they left about 4 long hairs hanging out of my almost completely shaven head. My very first night there, my basic training roommate sat up with fingernail clippers, cutting those hairs to keep me out of trouble.

I ran into him at the reunion and he recounted that story. I guess, being 34 years ago, I can see how I forgot about it.

[Skittles]

93. *SWOON*

OMG I am a sucker for dark-haired guys, brown-eyed guys in uniform! You still got all that hair, Dave? :D

[rbnyc]

88. Fun!

[rbnyc]

89. compare to now...

Above was 1989 or 90 and this one is 2009.
