Marine Corps Life, Can You handle it?
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.
Marines get many benefits for serving their country and the benefits are just an addition to the emotional bond every Marine feels with each other since the day they go to boot camp.
The pay in the Marines is very competitive compared to the civilian sector. Medical and dental benefits are also very big advantages because the cost in the Marines for health insurance is very low compared to the civilian sector.
Earning the right to call oneself a Marine is intentionally difficult. There are no shortcuts, and the training is intense. In 13 grueling weeks raw recruits will be transformed into Marines. These individuals will be confident, self-reliant and determined for whatever challenges they face both in and out of the Corps.
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.
