(All Marines in this advertisement are newly graduated)

*Federation Marine Corps Music starts to play*

A lone Marine flier's cockpit opens, "Lieutenant I joined cause of you!"

A Gunnery Sergeant salutes a passing figure, "Its the hero of Tzenketh!"

A rather attractive Fleet Ensign grins into the camera, she purs out, "Why hello Jimmy!"

A narrator's voice comes over a loudspeaker, "Six hundred marines perished trying to retake Tzenkethi Prime from the True way thanks to marines like those of Omega Theta Battalion and the work of marines like Jimmy the Grunt Starfleet is able to keep its borders and its worlds secure. So do your part! Be like Jimmy the Grunt!"

*Camera switched to a young looking James Gorebets smoking a cigarette and drinking a cup of coffee.*

"Semper fi all you new recruits and hello to all you would be members of Starfleets Marine Corps we are looking for candidates ages 18 to 50 to fill our ranks and fight the good fight. I know you think that the marines are dangerous, but the risk has its rewards, My name is Jimmy and I am just a regular guy from Earth, but I became what they call a war hero by leading men into battle. I now have a full scholarship waiting for me when I am ready to leave the corps and medical care for the rest of my life. So if you need a new home or want adventure, be like me."

Everybody in the comerical spoke up, "Be like Jimmy the Grunt!"

James looked into the camera one last time, "If you go into the recruitment station and say I want to be like Jimmy you can get posted to Infantry school right away!"

*Several starfighters flew through the night sky above him. Dropping white and blue fireworks, a Bob Seger like voice would sing ROCK, FLAG AND EAAAGLE*

====================================

The Leto's Infotainment system would switch to a picture of Betty Andrews in uniform in a broadcast room. She looked into the camera, "Yeah folks thats the comerical SFMC filmed ten years ago it boosted recruitment up by ten percent Federation wide. The remenants of Omega Theta thought we would have a little fun and share with you the blatant propaganda they try to push back home and get a good laugh. If you are interested there are Jimmy the Grunt mug and shirt replicator patterns loaded in. They are for free!"

The feed would shut off.
