[sdk87to91]

I found mine under the house last summer and it is a real eye opener. 2105 oct 87- early88 I realized I still dont like some of those guys. Especially the fat bodies with the high voices and soft faces. I know forgiveness is the way. I bet there are some of those guys who dont like me still either.

[Eaglepi]

If by "fat bodies" you mean overweight I was one of those and spent a extra 4 weeks in boot camp so I won't reply with any other comments

[Eaglepi]

If someone wants the books I have they can contact me a eaglepi@hotmail.com

To scan the books I would have to open them wide and lay them flat, with the age of most of these books I would be afraid to damage them.

[Chamorro]

Eaglepi, how were you able to find these books? I'm still looking for my copy for Plt 1075, MCRD San Diego, Sep 1966?:beer:

[Eaglepi]

Anywhere and everywhere, Ebay is a good place, I found a lot of mine at used book stores and thift stores. As you can see it isn't easy, I have been looking got mine for over 25 years, I found a bunch of others but not mine. That's why I listed what I have in hope to help someone else find theirs.

[bucksgted]

I have my book from Plt. 138, MCRDSD, Feb. 1956 to May/June 1956. Question I have is how can one scan some pics without destroying the book's bindings? There are some good "history" photos I'd like to share in dis place, but I don't want to hurt the book.

Give me some ideas, Marines!!:usmc:

[Eaglepi]

It would be almost impossible that is why I can't do that for others.

[bucksgted]

It would be almost impossible that is why I can't do that for others.

Well, I suppose I'm going to have to reconsider or think about this for a bit. I'm getting old, had my "15 minutes of fame", so if my sharing would/could help someone else or another family - - why not?

My old squadron, VMF(AW)314, published a journal (for the lack of a better word) of our deployment to Ping Tung in 1958. When I found out Gary Powers, Jr.(son of Gary Powers, Sr. of U2 fame) had donated considerable funds toward the building of the Cold War Museum, I had a professional copy of my book made to donate to the cause. Little did I know at the time it would destroy the bindings. I still have the book, but I really have to be careful with it. It literally is falling apart. (Printing and binding in the Far East was "on the cheap" at that time)

Gonna go check out **********.

[Chamorro]

Suggestion.... Try Kim Komando.com, she might have an idea.

You must be 2 or 3 feet taller then, right? Haha, just fucin' with ya! I bought 2 "yearbooks" when I gradutated, and gave my folks one of 'em. Now they're both gone (the folks, that is), and I am in the unique position of having TWO MCRD "yearbooks." When I got the book my Dad had, it had an 8X10 of the recruit photo in boot camp with the phony Dress Blues smock that we all got our picture in, boy, talk about scary! I almost didn't recognicize the rosy-cheeked kid in the photo! BTW, the yearbook is for Platoon 1073, MCRDSD, 6/'75-9/'75, if anyone wants pics scanned from it.
