Joe, I was actually in from 2003 to 2007. Your description of a "page 20" inspection is unheard of to me but sounds interesting. Your right, if those papers were still around, i bet theyd make a killin at gun shows and what not.

I am sure that by now all records are computerized, but in the 50s and before, a "Service Record Book" was kept for each Marine. It had everything about you in it, your medical records, re-enlistment data,transfers, and that "Page 20". I would love to know if any of them are still boxed up someplace, but I doubt it. Guess they are long gone. Semper Fi, Joe
