My guess early to mid 60s. Looks like a U.S. Marine, and also looks like a Marine base - my guess would be Barstow Logistics Base, or Yermo, in California. The young man is wearing a sateen utility uniform with a Marine style web belt and his boots are bloused. A white t-shirt was also standard. This uniform was phased out in the mid 70s. The Quonset huts in the background were also very common during the period. They also were phased out (there are a few left) beginning about that time. Roberto Clemente was a U.S. Marine but unfortunately that's not him in the photo. Hope this helps.
