(mostly early) Marine Corps recruiting media

[SgtMaddoxUSMC]

Here is a quick side-by-side of the two pamphlets, you can see why I almost skipped right over it!

MCPB 8013 (8-3-40) on the left VS MCPB 82221 (11-29-40) on the right

Back at it again. Today we start with M.C.R.B 66651 9-12-35 15M. This is another brochure highlighting the educational opportunities in the Marines through the Marine Corps Institute. This is an earlier version of the M.C.P.B. 71370 pamphlet that Terry posted on page 3, post 68.

Due to the time consuming nature of scanning these recruiting booklets and pamphlets, I have decided that from this point forward, I will only scan the covers. If anyone does want interior scans, feel free to contact me here or by PM and I will be more than happy to oblige.

Here is a series which includes "Life in Boot Camp" (NAVMC 5903 PB / MCPB 140882 (4-26-48) 200M.), "Life at Sea" (RED - NAVMC 5904 PB / MCPB 141583 (2-16-49) 200M.) (Yellow - NAVMC 5904 / MCNPB 40172 (6-1-53) 100M.) and "Life in the Fleet Marine Force" (LARGE - NAVMC 5911 PB / MCNPB 143886 (7-15-52) 200M.) (SMALL - NAV MC 6617 and NAV MC 6617 (Rev. 1958). The larger pieces are 9" x 12" and the smaller ones measure about 6" x 8.5". One of the smaller books came with a packet of recruiting media which I will post later. The first small "Fleet" book is undated but has to be pre-1958 since that is the revised edition. The interiors are the same, save for some different photos. I also wonder if the "Fleet" and "Boot Camp" have earlier versions in different colors like "Sea" or if "Boot Camp" and "Sea" came in the smaller sizes! Only time will tell!

Next the "Jobs For You" book for Woman Marines (NAVMC 5919 / MCNPB 12-700-2836 (9-15-55) 40M.)

"Be a Marine and a Civillian too!" - Not labeled but from 1947 sometime.

[SgtMaddoxUSMC]

An "Aid to insignia recognition" postcard, H-4501, postmarked 1945. This, interestingly, shows a TANK CORPS device which I have seen on several documents and questioned. I believe this was just a mistake made by non-military organizations.

Here is a "Women Marines Recruit Training" booklet, (NAVMC 2640 / PCN 100 013321 00), the title page includes a letter dated 10 March 1972 from the Head of the Military Personnel Procurement Branch, D.N. McKeon. Inside the booklet the General Orders are listed with GO#6 "To receive, obey and pass on to the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the Commanding Officer, Officer of the Day, Field Officer of the Day and officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard only."
