Album from the 1970's?

[Eric Hood]

Marines!
Does anyone remember a vinyl record from the 1970's about Boot Camp? It talked about recruit training. I think it was called; "Earning the Title". I can't find it under that name on Amazon. It was black, with our emblem in gold.

I do remember. I had a vinyl back in 1976 right after I joined that was about boot camp, I don't remember much of it but I do remember hearing platoons marching while the DI called cadence. Wish I could help you with the title, now I'm racking my brain trying to remember it.

amerikan, Thanks. I can't remember the exact title, that's the issue with me.

The only thing I found online which seems pretty familiar is Sounds of Marine Corps Boot Camp

That goes back beyond the 1970s. That's the exact LP cover of the album I bought at the PX when my platoon graduated January 1964.

They must have still had it around (or an updated version) when I went to boot because I think that's the title of the one I had.

[USMC 2571]

Just confirmed that by looking at the one awbrown posted, it says it was released in 1960.

Marines! Thanks, that's the title. I bought mine in November 1978.

Unbelievable that it was unchanged for at least 18 years.

[Eric Hood]

Tradition. I just watched a video from 1967. Not a lot different, at least at superficially glance, from my time.

[USMC 2571]

With so much change going on in the world (and there always has been), it's good that some things stay more or less the same.
