Are you ready to roll?
If you’ve decided to join the army, this is how the basic enlistment and job assignment process works – Application; Aptitude Test/s (ASVAB/OCS); Basic Training (Boot Camp); Enlistment; Specialty Training; Final Job Assignment/Deployment.
To get across the finish line, however, you must first meet some minimum requirements when applying. You’ll need to be between 17 to 34 years of age; a US citizen or permanent resident alien; possess a high school diploma, or equivalent; be physically and mentally fit; and if married, have no more than 2 children.
Are you aware of army jobs?
The US Army offers hundreds of career/job options, some requiring skills you may already have, others that you will be trained for. If you qualify, you may either choose combat-related jobs, or non-combat jobs such as in, transport, logistics, health, catering, office administration, and more. Alternatively, you may apply for jobs in aviation, arts and media, engineering and construction, intelligence, and a lot more.
Do you possess unique skills?
The US Army has openings for much-needed, specialized skills that some people possess. For example, lawyers, multi linguists, chaplains and army band musicians.
Do you crave to be different?
If you do, AND demonstrate exceptional leadership skills, you may work hard to qualify for induction in the US Army’s Special Forces. Here, you can train to join the elite ‘Green Berets’ – the prestigious, commandos of the US Army.
