JN years ago it was
necessary for the United
States Army to argue
men into its ranks.
But, today the Army like
every other great university,
points with pride to its grad
uates. Four million of the nation's
choicest young men were en
trusted to the Army's care.
MOST of them are back in the
ranks of industry today; and
every parent in America, every em
ployer, every teacher knows that
they are better, abler men for their
experience.
They stand straight upon their
feet, a symbol of physical fitness.
They have learned how to exe
cute orders, and how to give
them.
THERE is, in their characters, a
maturity beyond their years, a
vision and a self-confidence that are
fundamentals of success.
The months that they gave to the
Army were not lost months; the
records of the future will show more
rapid progress for them because of
the quaH&es which those months
developed.
THE United States Army is open
for enlistments today. It wants
no inferior applicants; it seeks young
men of character and purpose; and
it promises those young men that
the term of their enlistment will be
fruitful years. j
They will come back to civil life,
in perfect health their muscles,
their eyes, their bearing all evidenc
ing the finest professional care.
IT IS the purpose of the War
Department to cievelop in the
American soldier those qualities
which are the essentials to success
in any trade or business and are the
prime requisites in an American
citizen.
Congress has appropriated
$2,000,000.00 to be used in Educa
tional work in the Army Schools. In
many camps and posts men are be
ing trained in the skilled trades and
at practically all Army stations,
schools are in operation in which the
soldier can improve his education.
Through enlistment the United
States Army offers opportunities to
travel. It provides good food, gopd
clothes and good care. It gives a
training which brings health phy
sical development mental quick
ness and self-confidence. It sends
you back to civil life better equipped
for American citizenship than when
you enlisted.
