Did you know that only 7% of military jobs are combat related? The other 93% of military jobs are related to various careers, from engineering to healthcare and beyond! 

There are many ways to serve your country in the Military. Service members are assigned jobs based on their abilities, test scores and service needs. Many of the jobs available have civilian equivalents and offer training that translates to a future civilian career. Service also leads to many additional benefits, including money to pay for college or other training!

Military Recruiters will be on campus this school year (in the Great Hall), during both lunches. If you are interested in Military Service and/or the career benefits this pathway may have to offer - I encourage you to stop by!

Scheduled Visit Days:
