Home Life OF the Marines. 's ~
No Marine ever seems to stay in ore 4,
place long enough to get rustXsrE
When he is not just of for foreignb2s;
ports or just coming home fronac
service abroad. he is on one of ths,E,
big battleships which are always on d
| the move from one port to another3s
| Today he may be in Guantanamo }
| Bay, Cuba, and the next bound for
France or Constantinople, or good
| ness knows where.
And when he's on duty in the I'll
| States he may be at any one of ri
number of interesting places /,
| Quantico, the station just out Of I
Washington; the League Island Navy J
Yard. at Philadelphia; the Brooklyn I
Navy Yard. at New York, or he may (
| be at San Diego, in sunny California (
or Mare Island, in San Francisco J
| Bay. er}
Work Time for the Marine.
The Marines life is not all play. (
| There's work to be done. But it's a I
| mans work and interesting.
There are short, snappy drills that }
| teach 9. man to be on his toes. There ,
| are setting-up exercises that give }
| a man a chest like a barrel. There }
are hikes, short ones at first and J
gradually increasing, that teach T.
man to walk on his own two feet
and like it. And there's rifle prac- :
tice- But that isn't work-that's I .
sport. There is wireless telegraphy (
and signal work to be learned. There J
is training in scouting and wood
craft. Maybe you didn't know that }
every Marine is a regular Robinson y
Cruso when it comes to making him j.
self comfortable in wild country J
There is artillery practice and
something of sailing, rowing ana J
seamanship. For a Marine is a sailor
as well as soldier. But it's good &
work--all of it.
In addition to giving a man physi
cal fitness and mental alertness the
Marine Corps gives plenty of oppor-
tunity for learning a trade that win {-
mean big money for him after his I
discharge. Thousands of ex-Marines \
have Immediately been taken int
weil-paying. jobs in civil life as
aviators, airplane mechanics. pas
engine mechanics. chauffeurs. wire- 4.
less operators. printers, BARRIERS hsl,
players, chefs, bakers, electricians
foremen, etc. etc 4
