Description
The Space Patrol - whose motto is "Preserving Peace Between the Planets" has inaugurated its recruiting drive for 2039 with these rousing posters at all recruiting centers.If it were a thankless job it would still need doing - but happily, the Space Patrol is almost universally admired, and there are benefits - edible food! Spartan accommodations! Your own ray gun! Affable second lieutenants!
By signing on, you will enter into a new career of interplanetary adventure: you may meet, and blast into small quivering bits, the Awful Green Things From Space! Pursue Space Pirates! Endure a station rotation in corners of the galaxy where nothing has ever happened and where, almost certainly, nothing ever will!
Patrolees are equipped with modern and hygienic protective gear, including lightly used spacesuits and air tanks. Students should note that college plans are also available.

"Edible Food! Spartan Accommodations!"
What more could a cadet ask for?
Another great piece.

It's kind of like the old song says:
"We joined the Navy to see the world -
And what did we see? We saw the sea."
Me, I'd be a little worried about those "lightly used" spacesuits and air tanks.

Reminds me of a joke I once heard, about a disaffected sailor who lamented that he joined up to see the world! His CO told him, "Son, the world is 70% water, and the Navy is showing you that. If you wanted to see the other 30% you should have joined the Army."
Seriously, I love your work and your retro view, I'm thrilled to see more pieces!

Cheaper to replace the cadet than to replace the suit or air tank
