This page spread from a Marine Corps Base Quantico orientation booklet, preserved in the personal album of Edward P. McAleer, details the practical realities of life on a mid-20th-century military post -- from arranging transportation and hiring domestic help to enjoying the Post Theatre, tennis courts, and swimming pools. Booklets like this were issued to incoming officers and their families, offering a window into the everyday administrative and social fabric of pre-WWII and WWII-era Marine Corps garrison life.
