Hey y'all...anyone know where one might find a yearbook or group photo of basic training graduates from Fort Carson, Colorado--Dec 15, 1959 through March 15, 1960?

I've searched ebay, The Military Yearbook Project, and google...no luck.

If anyone has one, or has some notion where I might be able to find one, please let me know!

Thanks!

To tell you the truth I don't remember any yearbook when I was in.

Just a long shot but have you tried contacting the Fort Carson information centre or what ever the hell they have there?

Maybe the website has an archives section you could contact.

I suspect this may become a tedious search. There maybe a blog out there with the photos you need. Here is a link, though it's Fort Monmoth NJ, there is a reference to Ft Carson as some of the graduates relocated there. I'll poke around some more and see what I can dig up.

As mentioned they didn't make a yearbook when I was in, I think several others have mentioned this also. They do take an individual photo at some point when you are in your dress uniform.
Sent Crazy Tanker a PM. He's a drill sergeant and might be able to help you obtain a copy of the individual photo.
All official service related records are keep by the "Department of Veterans Affairs" for which I gave you the mailing address and URL.

Where did the idea of a year book come from ? is this something you were told by whom ? .

I was lucky enough to stumble upon my Dad's "ship" photo. Spotted him in four seconds (well, he was my Dad).

I got one each from basic, AIT, and jump school. 1967.

I was in basic during that exact time frame. I know of no group pictures taken.

Dec. 1959 to March 1960 went from there to Ft. SAm and became a medic.
