plus the new GI bill is sweet. I think theres no shame in making the military plan B. youre still serving your country
Check out the Marines' ads. Their approach is a little different from the others. Never mentions money for college or a job skill that transfers to the outside.
Every enlisted is a future SgtMaj of the Marine Corps and every Officer (though you won't see commercials for them either) is the next Commandant.
I have to totally agree with Slice though. Having the military as your Plan B is going to be very tough to swallow when you are sleeping in a fighting hole with the rain pouring down on you. You're going to start to wonder where you went wrong. It was my Plan A and I still wondered!
