Question:
Does anyone, anyone, have or remember a recruiting booklet for Special Forces from about 1969-1970 with the following features:
- Full color on glossy card stock.
- Front had picture of an A Detachment with at least LBE, maybe rucks,and M-16's at sling arms.
- Inside were a few pages about SF, describing the duties of each member of an A Team.
- The booklet included one page that opened and had a row of sharpened pencils depicted on the left, with text that said: "You SHOULD consider Special Forces if:
and there were attributes like "are or willing to become Airborne qualified"
"can interact with foreign cultures" "have an aptitude for a foreign language"
"can perform with minimum supervision" and so on
- The next page folded over, and on the left side was a row of pencils with the eraser end up. That text said: "You should NOT consider Special Forces if:
and there were things like "you cannot qualify for a security clearance" "you
are not comfortable with foreign countries or cultures."
I thought it was an excellent source of information and inspiration. It worked for me.
