Freedom is not free

The Army offers a $50,000 college scholarship. The Navy offers you
a chance to see the World. The Air Force will train you in a
high-tech, high-paying job. The Marine Corps gives you something that
no amount of money could ever buy -- an unshakable tradition; an
unbreakable value system; an incomparable life.

No other service person "lives" their service like a Marine. A
Marine is a Marine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, rain, shine, leave,
weekends, and holidays. Even a Marine's civilian clothing wear is
restricted, on or off duty, on or off base, on or off leave. As the
regulation says, "Marines may well be associated and identified with
the Marine Corps even when not wearing a uniform. Therefore when
civilian clothing is worn, Marines will ensure that their dress and
personal appearance are conservative and commensurate with the high
standards traditionally associated with the Marine Corps. No
eccentricities of dress will be permitted."
