OK Boudreax was a new recruit assigned to sell extra insurance to any new recruits who wanted xtra death insurance before being sent off to fight wars. Now the officer in charge noticed insurance sales had trippled. So he decided to sit in on one of Boudreax classes to see why. Boudreax begin telling the class for a few more dollars they could have fifty thousand dollars death benifit instead of the standard ten grand paid by the gov't. Then he ask the question, which boys you think they gonna send in first?

I suppose this is a joke. Anyway, I was a USMC company clerk in a grunt company (I-3/4) in Nam. Additional death benefit policies were sold by private insurance carriers back in the states before the Marine shipped out. Salesmen were allowed on base and I thought that was odd. I think these guys got on base by virtue of their retired Marine identification cards that allowed them to shop at the PX. They would hit the barracks after hours.

There was no Service Record Book entry for insurance coverage. The monthly premiums were handled by filling out an allotment ticket and forwarding it to the disbursement office. The CO didn't have to sign it and never knew.

A big yes to your question, it is a joke. I made 3 jumps in nam I was in the 509th airborne. Back in the 40's clerks handled all GI insurance needs; before our time.
