“Me...I’m staying
in the Army!
★
THERE ARE PLENTY
OF REASONS . . .
AND HERE THEY ARE!”
1 “First, I keep my present grade.
That means a lot.
2 “By reenlisting for 3 years I
can pick my own branch of
service in the Air, Ground or
Service Forces, and can go to any
overseas theater I wish.
3 “I get my mustering-out pay,
even though I’m reenlisting.
Also, I get $50 a year reenlistment
bonus for each year I’ve been in
the Army. My dependents receive
family allowances for the full term
of my enlistment. And I’ll be
el’gihle for GI Bill of Rights bene
fits when I get out of the Army.
4 “My food, clothes, quarters,
medical and dental care are all
supplied to me. And I can learn
any of 200 skills or trades in the
Army schools.
“All of us who are reenlisting
« are going to have from 30 to
90 days’ furlough at home with
full pay and our travel paid both
ways. And we’ll have 30 days’ fur
lough every year with pay.
**-*■★★**★*★******
6 “Any time after 20 years I
can retire at half pay increas
ing year by year to three-quarters
retirement pay after 30 years of
service. And the time I’ve already
served in active military or naval
service counts toward my retire
ment time. Added up—reenlist
ment seems pretty sound to me!"
