year.
- Any average young man, who plans to continue his education, can earn $.1760.00,
during a two year enlistment. Siniiliarly a three year enlistment will eafrn him
$8000.00 These amounts are in addition to food, clothing, quarters, dental and
medical care, amusement and recreational facilities in service trade training and
dozens of other henefits, all of which are absolutely FREE ! ! ! Where can any
young, inexperienced man hope to earn this kind of money as a civilian?
Opportunity to obtain National Service Life Insurance which is 2.V, V cheaper
than any commercial insurance company can offer you.
It's still a big world, well worth seeing, and the Marine Corps pays you 20' more
while you're at sea or on duty in a foreign country. We Marines lelieve that
travel is an education in itself.
- There is a comradeship among Marines and former Marines that is unexcelled and
unequalled by any other military force in the world. As a Marine, von will
understand the phrase "ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE."
