Question
k so im in 8th grade and i need some info about the benefits of being a marine because im doing a report about what i wanna be when i grow up and ever since i can remember i always wanted to be in the army for a career but the more i looked into it the more the marines appealed to me ive got my report pretty much in the bag but i need to list the benefits so if i could get that it would be very much appreciated

Answer
Dear Evan --

The benefits accrued due to military service do not vary from service to service.  The benefits only vary based on whether you served until retirement, and whether you served in a war zone.

To see a list of the military benefits and research the details, please visit this web-site:  http://www.military.com/benefits

Good luck with your report.
