this is VERY cool! it's an early version of the letter recruits still send out when they arrive at MEPs to ship to PI, and then another they send from PI. The letter is a form letter these days with blanks for the recruit to fill in his and the recipient's name. this is much more interesting!

Hi, What does MEPs stand for? Is this where a physical is given? Any idea how early this card was used? If interested, here is another:

Any and all help most appreciated.

Jim,

 

Thanks for the link! I don't know how early this card was used. A MEPS is a Military Entrance Processing Station.
