Vintage 1967 U.S. Army Officer Candidate School Recruiting Print Advertisement — Original Vietnam Era Military Ad
Approximately 8.5 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1967 U.S. Army Officer Candidate School recruitment advertisement is a striking piece of American military history from the height of the Vietnam War era. The original print ad features a haunting black-and-white image of a graduation gown and diploma draped over an empty Windsor chair beneath the bold headline 'and now...the draft?' — a direct appeal to college seniors weighing their futures. Targeting newly minted graduates, the collectible ad promotes Army OCS as the leadership alternative to the enlisted draft, reflecting the profound social tensions of the late 1960s. A compelling magazine advertisement for historians, military collectors, and students of American social history alike.
