Two years later Marcinkiewicz was awarded his doctorate, something which would be impressive enough if he had spent two years working for it, but he did not have this luxury since he had to undertake a years military service immediately after the award of his Master's degree.
Dalawang taon mamaya Marcinkiewicz ay iginawad sa kanyang titulo ng doktor, isang bagay na kung saan ay magiging kahanga-sapat na kung siya ay may dalawang taon na ginugol sa trabaho para sa mga ito, ngunit siya ay hindi magkaroon ng kasiyahan na ito mula noong siya ay nagkaroon na magsagawa ng isang taon militar kaagad pagkatapos ng award ng kanyang Master's degree.
