T TOUCAN DO WITH
THE ARMY.
If you come into the Army through the Delayed Entry Program, and you finish a three-year
enlistment, what will you have accomplished?
SKILLS:
First, you’ll have learned a skill that you wanted to learn —a skill that’s yours to keep. When you
look for a job later on, you’ll have more to offer a prospective employer than good intentions.
You’ll have experience. And although not every Army skill has a civilian counterpart,
you’ll have learned something invaluable for any career: how to work.
EDUCATION:
Depending on your own initiative, and the needs of your unit, you can accumulate several college
or vocational-technical credits while you’re in the Army. If you’ve come in through the Delayed
Entry Program, you can use the waiting time to learn more about degree-related programs like
Project AHEAD, or about earning college credits for Army training and jobs. Later on you’ll be
able to continue college with the new Veterans’ Educational Assistance Program available to
every soldier, which can help you save up to $8,100 over 3 years in the Army. Find out the details
of the educational opportunities in today’s Army from your local Army Representative.
EXPERIENCE:
Most soldiers leave the Army having done things and seen places they never thought they would.
This experience is now a part of them. If you’ve come in through the Delayed Entry Program,
you’ve simply had a bigger say in what you’ve been doing, where you’ve been, and what you’ll
take home with you. You may find that the experience has been so rewarding you want to stay
in the Army. That can be arranged too.
