00:17.166 --> 00:21.290
^- Prior service recruiting is the recruitment of Marines

00:21.290 --> 00:23.373
^that have already served.

00:23.613 --> 00:27.780
^So, that is being whether they're currently in the IRR, or

00:27.958 --> 00:29.596
^whether they're active duty

00:29.596 --> 00:33.545
looking to jump into more of a reserve capacity.

00:33.545 --> 00:36.408
We're looking for Marines who are motivated,

00:36.408 --> 00:40.299
who genuinely want to stay in the Marine Corps,

00:40.299 --> 00:43.049
but at the same time pursue other careers,

00:43.049 --> 00:44.409
so whether that's the civilian side

00:44.409 --> 00:46.148
or pursuing higher education.

00:46.148 --> 00:49.311
Someone who wants to make a difference within

00:49.311 --> 00:51.024
the Marine Corps Reserves, keep it strong,

00:51.024 --> 00:53.524
and stay a force of readiness.

01:29.993 --> 01:32.496
The same analogy I use with everybody is when you first

01:32.496 --> 01:34.883
join the Marine Corps, you jump into the pool.

01:34.883 --> 01:35.849
Every time you jump into a pool,

01:35.849 --> 01:37.423
the pool is cold at first.

01:37.423 --> 01:39.847
So you get back out, and you dry off a little bit

01:39.847 --> 01:43.056
and as you step back into the pool, it gets a little warmer.

01:43.056 --> 01:44.937
That's what we say with the Marine Corps Reserves.

01:44.937 --> 01:47.179
You try the Marine Corps, it might have been cold,

01:47.179 --> 01:48.429
so you got out.

01:49.103 --> 01:50.936
Well, try and take that step back in,

01:50.936 --> 01:52.415
and see if it's a little warmer,

01:52.415 --> 01:55.238
see if you can actually take how the pool is,

01:55.238 --> 01:57.281
you know, the temperature, and see if you enjoy it,

01:57.281 --> 02:01.448
if you enjoy it, you can get back all the way into the pool.
