Doesn't matter which Branch you selected. Given the choice of enticement selections from this authentic 1970's NG poster, you must "choose wisely" Indiana Jones!

I've always been a sucker for a nice watch. And when I enlisted for the Infantry in 1975, I got a $2,500 enlistment bonus! Do you have any idea how much money that was to a kid from the back woods of upstate New York??? Well, it was a LOT of money.

Great poster, SSG Private RallyPoint Member. Thanks for sharing it.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member,

The luggage is cute, but I'd take the guy in the white hat. Who knows, maybe he's a good cook.

You could buy a pimp for the price of one weekend of guard?? Awesome
