Am I the only one?
Who avoids using my mil ID at any cost?
Mine is epically horrendous. Like bad. Joke worthy. I look like a psyc ward patient from the 60s.
I joke with Dh it'll be the picture the show on the news if I ever went off the deep end on someone ("local military wife goes bsc blah blah blah")
Did I say how bad it is? Everyone that has seen it is relentless about how bad it is.

Re: Am I the only one?
I avoid using either of my "real" id's(DL and Mil) at all cost but especially my DL. If anyone asks for a photo id I show them my work ID and hope they won't ask for something more official.
My most recent DL picture was taken about 5 minutes after I came in from a complete downpour; my hair is soaking wet in a gross bumpy ponytail with mascara bags under my eyes and if you could see more of my shirt you'd probably think I was in a wet T-shirt competition.
I was dry for my most recent military ID picture, but for some reason I was not thinking about the fact that I would be getting my picture taken when I went there.
Edited for spelling mistake and other typo.
This is in response to Killer Cupcake: (for some reason quoting is not working suddenly for me)
haha! Speaking of photos, I love your siggy picture. After seeing that, I can't imagine you having a bad picture.
I can vouch for how bad Jilly's is.
I show mine when I'm asking for a discount, but other than that, I generally stick to my DL when I'm off base. It's for silly PERSEC reasons though, not because of my photo.
I use my mil ID everywhere. My DL photo is probably as bad as Jilly's mil ID photo, though I've obvi never seen it. It's horrible. I went in to get my motorcycle license and they took a new photo (I though they'd just use the one from my regular DL so I had no makeup on and my hair was in a knot) and then when my new non-minor DL came in the mail after I turned 21 it had the horrendous photo from my motorcycle license.
I was prepared for my mil ID photo though man. And my Embassy ID photo from Egypt was even better. I wish I could use that mofo.
I don't think I'll pip it, I look so crazy. Dh still can't get out over it.
My drivers license is rock star though
I changed my name
Confession: I thought my military ID was bad. Then I got my new Virginia drivers license (I had switched to a SC license while we were living in Charleston) and it is a thousand million times worse. I look like a rabid wildebeest.
I just don't take good ID photos.
67/200
I use my mil ID more often as my VA picture is horrendous. I wish my CA license was still valid--that was a great picture.
