Take Five with Country Music

Produced by the United States Marine Corps in partnership with a Nashville radio station, "Take Five with Country Music" blends Nashville stardom with military recruitment. The program features a roster of legendary country artists, including Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper, Hal Willis, Dottie West, Red Sovine, George Morgan, Lefty Frizzell, Stonewall Jackson, Faron Young, Bob Luman, George Hamilton, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Faron young, and Billy Walker.

Between musical sets, the broadcast shifts to targeted recruitment segments:

• For Women: One variation appeals to "college-educated women", emphasizing the "challenge and adventure" of becoming a Marine officer. This pitch highlights diverse career fields like aviation, publicity, and accounting, alongside the promise of prestigious duty stations in Hawaii, Paris, or London.

• For Men: Other episodes target male "college seniors and recent graduates", outlining a clear path to the cockpit. This journey begins with a 10-week training session in Quantico, Virginia, followed by specialized flight training in Pensacola, Florida, where successful candidates earn their "Wings of Gold".

Also included in this collection are two episodes from National Guard "Take Five".  See also: military recruiting radio shows.
