If this sounds like an opportunity you would be interested in learning more about, please call or email a local recruiter to set up a time and date where you can get together to further discuss what opportunities the Army or Army Reserves have to offer you. Please keep in mind that you have no obligation to the U.S. Army or U.S. Army Reserves by receiving information or by sitting down to discuss your options. As well please feel free to have someone accompany you (whose opinion you value) when you talk to a recruiter, it makes things much easier to understand and allows you the opportunity to receive guidance on the spot.

Of course, the benefits of joining the U.S. Army go beyond just the monetary. In addition to becoming a stronger individual as you gain new training, you'll also feel a sense of accomplishment, experience true camaraderie and teamwork, and develop discipline and leadership skills that today's employers value.
