gunbarrel Posted March 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 20, 2007 I added this card to my collection this week--thought some of you may find it interesting. First, the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted March 22, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 22, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted March 23, 2007 Brig, Glad you liked it. Here is an early WWII USMC card, although this one was never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this where a physical is given? Any idea how early this card was used? If interested, here is another: http://www.wclynx.com/burntofferings/adsus...oreofcorps.html Any and all help most appreciated. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted March 24, 2007 Jim, Thanks for the link! I don't know how early this card was used. A MEPS is a Military Entrance Processing Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
