PRIDE OF BELONGING
There are many benefits to joining the military. All branches of the armed forces offer benefits like college funds, technical training, job security, free medical and dental care. The Marine Corps has always had a few other benefits that really differ from anyone else. These benefits are hard to illustrate and not so easily attained. You don't hear about them very much, because few places can offer them. Things such as pride of belonging, courage, and self-discipline are just a few of the benefits that are a part of the transformation process that changes young men and women into United States Marines. These benefits extend well beyond a particular job or skill or having enough money for college. You can't see them or hold them, but the are real. They become a part of your life forever. Just like earning the title, Marine, these too have to be earned. So you ask...."Why the Marines?"
