HEADQUARTERS – UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS – WASHINGTON, D.C. 20380
Dear Sir:
It’s the tough choice --- the Marine Corps. We’re a small, elite branch of the Service. We aren’t for everyone.
Saying yes to the Marines means choosing hard training and challenge. It also means saying yes to some great benefits. These stamps are your way to say yes to the Marines. You just affix the stamp of your choice to the enclosed reply card. Because we’re the tough choice, we’ll understand if you say no.
But...before you make the decision, take a good look at the Marine Corps. What makes it the elite Corps? What can you gain on the tough team?
The Marines offer you the same great benefits as the other military services: skill training for a better job --- in or out of the Marines; good salary; promotion; free housing and food; medical and dental care; a chance to go on to higher education. But there’s something extra for you as a Marine.
That extra is a pride and spirit unique to the Corps. Our training is rugged. Our recruiting is selective. We want the best; we train you to be the best. We don’t make a lot of promises. What we do promise is challenge and hard work… plus the prestige and recognition that come with the uniform.
We have a poster we’d like to send you. If the marine spirit grabs your imagination, you won’t want to miss getting your copy.
We’re getting a lot of requests for it. To make sure you receive your copy, let us hear from you soon. When we send you your booklet on

Marine Corps programs, we’ll send your poster along. There’s no obligation. Affix the yes stamp to the enclosed postage-paid reply card. Find out if you qualify to be one of the few, the proud, the Marines...today.
Sincerely,
Jerry Hudak
Major, U.S. Marine Corps
