Help me find a photo of myself I never knew was taken.

Today a coworker was Googling our names and came across a couple of pictures of me that I never knew existed. The first picture was on a National Archives Catalog.

The second was a bit weirder

It shows up in Google images and is associated with a website www.desertcart.ae, which seem to be a aggregate site for Amazon.

It seems like the photo was either sold or more likely was used as a sample image for a frame. I would like a larger version of the photo. I figured some GAF detectives might be able succeed where I failed.

Well then. I did a quick search and didn't find it. Weird that they weren't both under the same posting. How did you find it?

Well, the picture mentions your name. Search for that name in the archives and...voila. Also as others have said, those are some badass pictures.

I just searched my name and got a bunch of junk. When I added SSgt it came right up.

you look badass bro

You look like a badass dude. For what it's worth.

Thanks. It was 13 years ago and I knew where the gym was. Also battle rattle and epic sunset helps.

Was that picture taken by Michael Bay?

Maybe I can be in the next Transformers.

#humblebrag? :p

I actually feel dumb that first post made me look like an idiot. If I would have spent 5 more minutes looking I probably would have found it.

Maybe they used some search operators.

Searching Barack Obama, will retrieve results such as "Photo of Sgt. Barack and President Obama"

Searching "Barack Obama", will only retrieve results in which that exact phrase appears.

edit: yup, they have a list of supported operators here: https://www.archives.gov/research/catalog/help/search-tips.html

Yeah, I should have known. We got all sorts of different results with Google today by adding ranks to names, or using our career field "weapons" as a modifier. I guess I just assumed the two pictures would have been on the same page if they were both there.
