    I don't remember seeing it. My daughter said, she joined, because of her big brother. I'm not sure, why my oldest son did, except, he'd been playing soldier, for as long as I can remember. Id thought by the time he was 21, we'd made it threw, and past that, thought, but, out of the blue, he says, Mom, I joined the marines. I was shocked, sort of. But, then he did boy scouts, and Civil Air partol, So, I guess it wasn't that big of a shock.

    Joined before that commercial so had no effect on my decision. It is striking to see the emphasis on "men" during that era. Could not happen today.

    I didn't need no commercial, just GySgt Mayne, Semper Fidelis.

    That commercial was actually before my time to join up, but I sure did spend some time in the rose garden while I was at PI!

    By the time this came out, I was already a corporal. My father was my recruiting commercial.

    The "Rose Garden" theme wasn't new in 1973. We were chanting things related to "We didn't promise you a rose garden" in boot camp (1971). Plus MAG-15, in 1972, nick-named their bare bones base in Thailand "Rose Garden."
