My serial # was W711***, I joined 1959. Semper Fi Sheila Hays
My serial #'s were W711***, the W is for Woman. I joined in 1959 and they were still using serial numbers when I was discharged. Semper Fi Sheila Hays
I was discharged in 1962.
Misfire, there is no way you could have been a Corporal (E-4). Given your dates of service in our beloved Corps, I can believe Sergeant (E-4).
Some one in this thread said it very nicely - - trucks and rifles have serial numbers, I had a service number!! My service number is 159++++. Dates of service 20 FEB 56 to 19 FEB 60.
Semper Fi,

Misfire, I'm not giving you a bad time. You're like me - - a misfit in todays world of Marines. I was given my avitar by a kind soul in here or I would have been like you. Sometimes it's tough to get folks to understand that you and I held the rank and all of its responsibilities - - we just didn't get the benefit of their pay grade/pay raise.:marine:
My number was 2185xxx joined Oct 65-Oct69,and your right back then you could almost tell by your serial number how long you have been in.I guess nobody has heard If it ain't broke don't fix it.SS#'s bad idea.
