^ Not precisely 1" x 1", which is why they get scaled weird.

A 3ft piece of white butcher paper would solve your "arrow thru the head" problem.

DWB, in your entire hour there isn't one wall without a texture or pattern on it?  Why would you stand in front of a door with panels?
Those will not only show through, but the dimension will produce shadows.

Though even that is a simple enough fix.

Can you get digitals? Not every unit has a scanner.

I would like the digitals.

Looks worse, IMO. I look like Max Headroom.

And yeah, besides the doors, I don't have any white/offwhite walls I could stand in front of where I could get the lighting right.

That's interesting because every unit was supposed to get a combination fax/scanner/printer a couple of years ago from National.

I admit I could be operating on outdated information. Maybe every unit does have a scanner now.

Yes, and every unit has a scanner.

My Squadron doesn't have a scanner...but I'd be willing to trade a "Like New" Overhead Projector.

Then it's because they have issues with tracking property, or refused the issue.
("Well, if we don't take no stuff, we don't got to do no inventory..."  BTDT with some misguided units.)

Either way, it can't be used as an excuse, because they made their own problem, and there's plenty of
people in the unit with scanners, cell phone cameras, and probably a few courtroom artists.

Actually, we never refused Issue.  We've had two that have both been retired but never replaced with no offer for a new one.  I like to see that you think it's the unit problem and not a problem coming from somewhere else.  We would love to have one.

Did you ever ask?  You can't imagine how much stuff is DRMO'ed by wings every year because it's "old" - the scanner / printer I most recently
gave up with my cold, dead fingers (new guy got my job) is still cranking strong after 10 years of heavy use, and the one I got to replace it is nearly as old.
Notebooks, printers, radios, etc.  Sitting on the shelf, until someone gets tired of looking at it.

That or ask other units for equipment they aren't using - many have several issued.

You show me a bona-fide CAPID with that photo on it from NHQ and I will send you a $10 Starbucks gift card!

In my experience, the issued Multi-Function Copiers issues tended to be on the cheap (sub-$200) end. They can last 10 years, or they can last two, or six months, or 1,000 copies, basically a total crapshoot quality-wise. I don't recall if it came down from National, or from my Wing, but we were told that since MFC's had gotten so cheap as to be basically disposable, they would no longer be issues and would need to be purchased by the unit itself.

SARDOC's unit may have had one at some point, that crapped out and was never replaced. SARDOC's unit may have decided it would be better to spend their money on Cadet or ES activities instead of on a machine that several staffers had at home already and didn't need to have an extra of at the unit.

Remember what happens when you assume.

I wasn't making an assumption, I was making a point.

Your recollection matches mine, however in a world where people carry 8Mp cameras in their pocket and
everything has to be uploaded to eServices, WMIRS, next echelon, etc.,
saying "We don't have a scanner."  is a silly assertion to make about ID pics, etc.

It also on change that he are required for anyone over 18.

Dude, you totally made my point! :)

Nice arrow. I think Steve Martin had that trademarked. Your C&D letter is on its way.

But can he do "King Tut?"

I wish we could all have professional photographers to do our mug shots photos in EServices.

Mine is awful.  It looks like it could be hanging on a bulletin board at your local post office.

I doubt very much that the new 39-1, whenever it comes out, will solve all our uniform problems, and that's not a knock on Colonel Lee and the people helping to re-do the bloody thing.  There are always going to be those who look for/find loopholes.
