tween now and November 21,
thousands of Army veterans will

Regular Army will also retain their
present giades, if they enlist within
2<> days after discharge and before

“BEST JOB IN THE WORLD"
The-e special privileges are typical
of the new law recently passed by
<'.ongress. Few opportunities for a
lifetime career offer as many attrac
tive advantages.
Can you think of any other job
that would give you good pay, your
food, clothing, quarters, free med
ical and dental care, world-wide
travel, 30 days’ furlough every year,
education and training in any of
nearly 200 skills or trades, and
enable you to retire with a life in-
eom e any time after 20 yea ru’se rvice ?
There isn't any! That’s why a
job in the Regular Army has been
called "The Best Job in the World.”
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW
ENLISTMENT PROGRAM
1. Enlistments for l l /2, 2 or 3
years. ( 1-year enlistments permitted
for men with 6 months' service.)
2. Men reenlisting retain their
present grades, if they reenlist with
in 20 days after discharge and before
Feb. 1, 1946. The same applies to
men discharged between May 12 and
Nov. 1, 1945, who reenlist before
Nov. 21, 1945.
3. An increase in the reenlistment
bonus to $50 for each year of active
service-since the bonus was last paid,
or since last entry into service.
4. 20% extra pay when overseas.
5. Paid furlough, up to 90 days,
depending on length of service, with
furlough travel paid to home and
return, for men now in the Army
who enlist.
6. Mustering-out pay (based
upon length of service) to all men
who are discharged to reenlist.
7. Option to retire at half pay for
the rest of your life after 20 years’
service — or three-quarters pay after
30 years. (Retirement income in
grade of Master or First Sergeant up
to $155.25 per month for life.) All
previous active federal military ser
vice counts toward retirement.
8. Benefits of GI Bill of Rights.
9. Family allowances for the
term of enlistment for dependents of
men who enlist or reenlist before
July 1, 1946.
10. Choice of branch of service and
overseas theater in Air, Ground or
Service Forces on 3-year enlistments.
