I know these pics arent the quality as the others on MM, but for what they are, can I get some constructive critisim

Let me be another member who thanks you for serving your country. Your hard work and sacrifice are not ignored nor forgotten by those of us back here in the States. 

Now, me speaking as a photographer, you are in a location that has some interesting places to shoot (photographically speaking).     These are fascinating places that are currently in the news, if you had a professional photographer, he/she could get some AWESOME portrait shots of you in your work environment.  You just need to get a pro photographer or at least a talented amateur to capture your image.  Right now I kinda envision the cool shots I'd like to do, with soldiers doing their work and having cool stuff in the background, like tanks and other military vehicles. 

Okay, if you want to get friends to shoot more pics, here are some simple rules.  (1) Emote, i.e. show some emotion in the shot.  Your military training is showing and that's a good thing ... when you're doing Drill and Ceremony ... BUT ... for all other pictures, you gotta break out of that "standing for inspection" posture.  (2) tell your photographer buddies to cut out the dead space above your head.  Get the feet or at least don't have so much dead space above your head.  (3) photograph YOU, not just a person standing in an area.  Hope this helps.

If you don't mind, I'll comment only about your potential to do modeling, beginning first by pointing out your posture in this snapshot: https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … 60aab9c231

Don't slouch, or hunch your shoulders. Like it is for female models, it's the same for male models, i.e. chest out, chin up, shoulders back and aligned. Practice facial expressions using a mirror. If you don't have any training, schooling, coaching in regards to modeling, you can emulate the successful models you see in magazines by imitating what they do.

Hu-ah!

A D.I.? Naw. I could've gone to D.I. school after my enlistment, but I passed. I did, however, attend boot camp twice. Lol. Once for the reserves and then again when I went regular Army. Believe it, or not, funner the second time around. The D.I.'s I had were very good in the Leadership department, their style of coaching and training was very influential to me as a 17-year-old kid. They shaped my character pretty much. The were like older bros I never had and always wished I had.
