The US Air Force has posted a website link to Basic Military Class Photos going back to the 1940s. Most are showing Lackland AFB Training Center, but others are before that. So if you served and had a Basic Class photo taken you may find yours and download free and keep for your family & Friends. Sadly, not all can be found as I learned for myself.

To find your class Photo in the year you entered into basic training and Month jump ahead about a month and BINO there is your old Class of Friends. More helpful if you can recall your Flight number. Here is the LINK and feel free to share with anyone:

Thanks for the link, however I couldn't find my flight so I went through every flight from June to Sept. of 1966 and nothing showed up but, it was a nice try. Personally I don't remember them taking a photo but that was 53 years ago. Sometimes I can't remember what I had for breakfast. LOL

Not sure if this will help you, as I have posted this link in other places over time, and most have informed me. About a Month into there Enter On Dury date (EOD) they have found their Class Photo. Others like yourself and I have never been able. But I think its kind of cool and I know a lot of Guys never kept up with certificates of Photos.

I did find our Flights Guide on as he had the Flag. But I have never found our Flight or remember the Flight Number. I'm thinking Basic training was 8-weeks and I could be wrong about that as I only remember the BIG 8-week inspection. We were also in the new dorms.
