    Looking for father's graduation yearbook

    Hello Marines!First off, let me apologize for posting this in ask-a-marine, as i couldnt post anywhere else. I am Currently a poolee and my ship date is 20160801, and my father graduated from MCRDSD in 1991 plt 1082 delta company. Hes always been talking about the marine corps and being able to have the opportunity to become a part of the Corps is amazing. He loves talking to me about boot camp but he doesnt have his graduation yearbook as his ex-wife may have... Burned it... As well as his blues and other things. We cant seem to find ANYTHING online about his platoon, and anything from pictures to the yearbook itself would be amazing. It would truly be awesome to see my dad running in his silkies at the age of 18. Any help would be great, and thank you Marines.

    EDIT: SDI was Sgt Crisp, and DI's were Sgt Hartman and Sgt Walker.

    I checked that website and apparently my father has checked it too, and they're missing his graduation yearbook. Thank you for the much appreciated help, I'll keep looking. I know someone somewhere has got to have it.

    OK People this Link is for Leatherneck Magazine and they will place a want add for you asking for your Platoon book or Photos and they will do it for free at least they did it for me at the time I ask them for help. Once you have received your Book or Photo you'll need to write them and inform them so they can remove your listing. Please be courteous to them and it will go along ways for you.

    I was in Platoon 2045 in 1991, just after your Dad went through. We didn't have the silkies at the time. Those didn't come out until 1996. But it would be cool for you to see your Dad "in his prime".

    I had a SDI Sgt Walker. Dark green Marine, with glasses, and looked kind of like a turtle. Not sure if it was the same guy.

    I hope that you find that year book. I wish that my Dad had his. I might look for it so that I can have 3 generations of Marine year books.
