War costs end free movies for Marines |
The Corps’s decision to charge for movies is part of the service’s
ongoing efforts to help pay costs of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The ticket cost also results from a new policy requiring recreation
activities to generate a 4 percent net operating profit, she said.

Continuing costs of fighting the war on terror have prompted an end to
free movies for Marines.
The 10 remaining Marine Corps movie theaters worldwide offering free
movies, including the Sakura Theater at Iwakuni Marine Corps Air
Station in Japan, have been ordered by Marine Corps Headquarters to
begin charging, said Ashleigh Pipes, marketing director for Iwakuni’s
Marine Corps Community Services.

This is nickel and dime crap. They let millions disappear in other costs
and suddenly they want to get frugal???? Perhaps it's those showings
of Moore's movie...
