Marine magazine

My step dad was a marine during Vietnam War. He then went into Marine Reserves when he lived in Texas. When his mom decided to move back to West Virginia, my step dad decided to have his family move to West Virginia, too. Since West Virginia did not have Marine Reserves, his time in the Marines would not could toward military served, and so, he joined the West Virginia National Guard. He retired after serving 21 years and he past away a couple of years after retiring from WV Dept. of Natural Resources.
My mom and I have been going through his things and have been down sizing not only his things but other ancestors things that my mom and my step dad have accumulated. I can not find information about this magazine called Marine in ebay. I hope someone can give me some information about it. For example, was this a recruiting magazine or a regular magazine? Thank you for assistance in this request. Regards, Rob

 

It looks like a recruiting piece. Somewhere it should include name of publisher, etc. Have you looked?

No, I will look further. Thank you. Robert

 

Let us know what you find. You might want to also do an internet image search to see if a match for the cover comes up.

Inside last page says in the right bottom corner NAVMC 7070 and there is also a post card that has in the top left corner an address Department of the Navy, Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, D.C.20380, Official Business and free postage in the top right corner. I suspect NAVMC might mean Navy Marine Corps not sure about the 7070. On the back of the post card says If you have not yet talked to a Marine representative and would like further information about the Marine Corps. call the recruiting station or mail this card today. After that, there are a series of personal questions. Rob

 

Thank you. That is it. Although this listing is wrong about being a poster in its title, the description says the following: This listing of for a vintage 1960-1970's USMC Navy Marine Corps Advertising Recruitment Booklet/Pamphlet. The book measures 11" by 13.75"and is printed on heavy weight paper with a glossy finish. The photos are large enough to use as posters (that's what my Uncle did). 32 pages of high quality photos. Normal wear and tear. Please view photos before bidding.

 

I could not figure out how to do an internet image search

That is why I replied to Debora about image search. Yes, I will follow that ebay auction on ebay. Rob

 

Internet image search...

Easy to do. Just Google "Google image search" and it will take you to a Google Images page that has a search bar with a camera icon. Click on the icon to upload an image, following simple steps, and it will bring up "Visually Similar Images." Click on link and you'll find matches (or not.)

Caveat: This is how I go about doing it. Someone else may be thinking "You idiot. It's much easier just to..."

Here is a little more info................ http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/for...y-early-marine-corps-recruiting-media/page-36

 

1960s-1970s correct. Not sure how interested you are in narrowing down date. Five digit zip code tells us its post-1963.

Robert, I was wondering if you still have this magazine. It’s actually my father on the cover. I would definitely be willing to purchase from you.
