Yellow foot prints, where the journey began, where the rest of your
life will be changed forever. Yellow Footprints is a historical data resource
center with information that starts with boot camp, and ends with a Marines
final duty station. WHY this web site when there are so many Marine sites
on the Internet today. Although there are many great Marine Corps websites on the net, there are none like this site and the content it provides.
Yellow Foot Prints is about historical information, information not found
within the Marine Corps archives, and certainly information not found on
the Internet in a searchable database. Although Yellow Foot Prints has
many databases, none are as important as our Boot Camp graduation database,
or the Obituary database.
Marine Communication Center:
This is a new addition to the Yellow Footprints family of web sites. The Comm Center is a great tool for those searching for Marines, or family members searching for relatives who were in the Cops.
Where Yellow Footprints is about each Marines history during boot camp, the Comm Center is your way of connecting to those Marines you served with after boot camp.

Boot
Camp Database:
The boot camp database is the only searchable boot camp database on the Internet
today! It starts from the late 1930's and continues through the present day.
It covers both Parris Island and San Diego with listings
of location, platoon numbers, recruit names, and rank at graduation where
available. When available, graduation books are scanned and copied into
the database that include Drill Instructor page as well as recruit photos.
Another feature of
this database is the ability of members to post their scanned pictures from their time in the Corps within the members gallery area of the database.
The new email feature is the addition of email addresses that can now be added to the boot camp database within each platoon section. Add your email address for ease of contact by your fellow recruits.
One very unique entry is platoon 2060 that graduated
in January of 1957, that would be Lee Harvey Oswald's platoon. .
Obituary
database:
The Obituary database is also searchable, and contains entries that
include but are not limited to Arlington National Cemetery, The Wall, and
KIA from Iraq that includes Desert Storm, and past wars as Korea, and Vietnam. This is an active database that even members can enter information
about loved one's, or brother Marines.
