Marine Corps life is not a job like you see in the civilian world. In the Marine Corps you will travel, get opportunities like no other place and you will become a leader.
There are many advantages to being a Marine. Base housing is one of them that can be used by Marines with dependents. base housing requires no deposits and no credit checks. 30 days vacation each year and of course medical benefits that are practically free for every member. Marines seeking a degree can also take advantage of the Marine Corps paying $4500 every fiscal year.
The Marine Corps offers many benefits that every Marine can take advantage of and these are just an addition to the bond Marines share from the day they go to boot camp.
The Marine Corps pays their members a very competitive salary compared to the civilian sector. Medical and dental benefits also have to be taken into consideration because that is a huge advantage when comparing prices between civilian cost for insurance and insurance cost in the Marines.
For anyone to earn the right to be called a US Marine will be very difficult. Drill instructors will make sure that the training is highly challenging and they will push the recruits to their limits. It will take weeks to transform civilians into Marines. After this time the new Marines will be confident and ready to face the challenges ahead of them.
The Marine Corps’ purpose is simple: to fight and win our nation’s battles. It’s their very reason for being and it’s what they do best. Ultimately it is their effort that keeps our country safe and free.
Marines go back to their community and apply all the lessons learned while they were in uniform. Former Marines will never forget the time spent serving a purpose bigger than them which is to defend thsi great nation.
