Army

For individuals interested in the Army, a recruiter is a great source of information about life in the Army and what it has to offer. A recruiter can help identify which opportunities are available and will best help a potential recruit reach his or her goals. Speaking to a recruiter does not obligate an individual to serve — it is a chance to ask questions and get honest answers. Parents, other family members and friends are also welcome to come speak to the recruiter to support their loved one during this big decision.
