easy company registration cards part 2

part 1

included in this compilation under the cut are the registration cards of 13 more easy company veterans featured in band of brothers (2001). all are taken from publicly available draft records held in online databases and collected by me, and contain details like the registrant's serial number, physical attributes, date and place of birth, phone number, residential and mailing addresses, place of employment and nominated next of kin, as well as their handwriting sample and signature. like or reblog if you use or save.

a note about draft registration

during the second world war, the united states selective service system conducted a total of six draft registrations, the records of which are held collectively in two groupings at the national personnel records centre in st. louis, missouri. members of easy company were drafted in all but one of these registrations from october 1940 through to december 1942. the six registrations are as follows:

16 october 1940: males aged 21 to 35 "within the continental united states". winters, nixon, welsh, toye, perconte and liebgott were among those registered on this date.

1 july 1941: males "who had reached 21 since the first registration". lipton and speirs were registered on this date.

16 february 1942: between the ages of 20 and 45 "who had not previously registered". roe, bull, malarkey and luz, among others, were registered on this date.

27 april 1942: between the ages of 46 to 65 "not eligible for military service". no known easy company members were registered on this date.

30 june 1942: between the ages of 18 to 20. talbert, webster, grant, guarnere, babe, shifty, skip and christenson, among others, were registered on this date.

10-31 december 1942: "those who reached the age of 18 after 12 november 1942". penkala, who turned 18 in august 1942 three months before the cutoff, was nonetheless among those registered in this period.

if you have a family member or ancestor who served in a branch of the us armed forces during either the first or second world war, chances are that you can find their registration card on databases like ancestry.com and familysearch.org.

the cast of the pacific talking about the rather infamous dale dye bootcamp

couple of personal notes:

- someone needs to find out why dale dye enjoys torturing twinks so much

- crying at joe mazzello's “bootcamp was...... probably the most intense experience of my life”

- dye screaming “what's the matter with you?!” to jon seda 😭 unprovoked

- keith nobbs is so hot

- jacob pitts' face of horror at seeing his new haircut kills me every time

“what the hell is your issue?” yeah you’re gonna need to be more specific buddy

band of brothers brainrot so bad that once i finished watching it i immediately started it all over again

a webgott web weave for @dontirrigateme ☀️

part two of three of a summer exchange gift for a very lovely person <3. this one is much more serious than the previous part, sort of to work as the darker part of webgott and balance out tomorrows gift, which works to find that webgott equilibrium. i really hope you enjoy this all! find part one here, and sourcing is under the cut :)
