The United States Armed Forces Institute conducts the largest correspondence school in the world and has helped thousands upon thousands of soldiers to get their high school diplomas. The Army has also arranged with many civilian schools and colleges to permit soldiers to attend courses in their off-duty hours. Under the Tuition Assistance Program, an ambitious soldier can get a college degree. What's more, there are Education Centers in hundreds of Army posts which daily teach subjects the soldiers themselves have asked for. The modern Army has found that the greater an education a soldier has, the greater contribution he makes to the Army itself. ThiS is why the man in Modern Army Green is urged to carry his education forward as far as possible.

F- : 'G CHARACTER IJEVEUIPMENT Every soldier grows in the Army . . . grows not just physically but grows into a new maturity. The spiritual and moral growth of its men is of the utmost importance to the Army. The opportunity for a soldier to worship in his own religious faith is a fundamental part of Army life. Besides the active programs conducted by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish chaplains, each stands ready to counsel any soldier on his religious or personal problems. Army discipline has its basis in self-control, self-respect, self- reliance, honor and honesty. This discipline creates clean-minded, clean-living soldiers who are aware of the responsibilities of good citizenship. The man in Modern Army Green is a credit to his country.
