Scanning and post-processing a photograph to get the best results is both an art and a science. I'm no artist, but I've attached an example of what could be done using the following methods: (1) sharpening (in this case, "adaptive unsharp mask" (Corel PhotoPaint), followed by (2) contrast enhancement (to extend the tonal range of the scanned photograph), and finally (3) tone curve adjustment (to make the photograph more visually pleasing). I also adjusted the background a little, but I'm not too happy with the result.

I think it needs work, but its still a very personal picture. The best kind. Its not so bad that I wouldnt comment on it though. :) Keep it up, and read a little into pictures by scanning, and you'll do fine.

Kelly, there are some good articles about scanning on usefilm - check them out.
This photo is still bad. I'm not sure if it's your scan anymore or the photo itself. So, until that issue is resolved I guess I'll refrain from commenting on your pictures.

Very nice looking model you have here and he definately portrays what I think of when I think of a man in service. I think a stronger composition instead of centered would give this some more oomph. I would also clone out the top left hand corner the couple of leaves that are hanging over if you can. Now the scan looks a bit soft. I'm not aware of what software you are using but if you can apply the unsharp mask usually under the sharpen tools in software that would bring it a bit sharper.

I don't know anything about the scan, but this guy looks great. Great body pose and expression.
