My father is Richard Miles went to boot camp at Paris island . He graduated April27 1976. Platoon 140, I believe he said one of his drill instructor was Sgt. Green. we are trying to find a copy of his graduation year book for Christmas. Also he was with 1st Bn. 3rd marines alpha co. They have a west pac yearbook also, has a camouflage cover, and a cruise book from 2nd Bn. 3rd marines supply . A white cover with red lettering. If anyone has access to any of these 3 books we would like to purchase any of them. At any price. He is disabled and in a wheelchair. We would greatly appreciate any help. You can contact me his son @ milomiles89@yahoo.com. Thank you very much for your time to all veterans.
Have you tried checking on TWS (together we served) they’ve been putting boot camp books on there web site.
Call directly to PI, tell them what you are looking for concerning Boot book.
I never got mine spring of
1968, snafu of some type??
It was a busy year for our Corps.
My platoon 364 K company which began in March was not available. However they did have books from platoons from May of 68, I bought one of those and no it’s not mine but I wanted to have the book to show grandchildren about training and show a few boot camp pictures. Good luck with your father’s books Semper Fi
