NOV. 21, 1945
AN IMPORTANT DATE FOR
THOUSANDS OF
ARMY VETERANS
NOW IN CIVILIAN LIFE
B etween now and November 21,
thousands of Army veterans will
reenlist in Uncle Sam's new volun-
teer peacetime Army. Because-
men who have been discharged be-
tween May 12 and November 1 of
this year and reenlist on or before
November 21 will be able to return
to the Army with the same grade as
they held when discharged.
Men with six months of satisfac-
tory service discharged as privates
will, on reenlistment before Novem-
ber 21, be given the grade of private
first class.

for discharge after NOVEMBER 1
for the purpose of roenlisting in the
Regular Army will also retain their
present grades, if they enlist within
20 days after discharge and before
FEBRUARY 1, 1946.
"BEST JOB IN THE WORLD"
These special privileges are typical
of the new law recently passed by
Congress. 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-
come anytime af ter 20years'service?
There isn't any! That's why a
job in the Regular Army has been
called "The Best Job in the World."
