If you are thinking about
serving your country, earning a salary right away, and getting a
training that will help you in your future, then joining the military
may be right for you. Through various education programs, you may
even be able to earn your college degree while in the service or have
the government pay for part of your expenses after you leave the
service.

If the military becomes
your choice then take these steps:
- Talk to your counselor about setting
up an appointment with a recruiter on campus.
- Take the Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This test will help
identify skills that are valuable in various jobs in the service. See
your counselor for more details.
- Talk with your counselor about
specialized military opportunities such as the academies, ROTC
scholarships, the national guard and reserve programs.
