any of over 250 jobs in the Army and
have those loans paid in full by the

While the military is reshaping
the size of its peacetime forces, U.S.
Army recruiters are emphasizing the

College-minded youth may ask
themselves, "W hat does the Army
have to offer me?” If you are consider

who select one of the Army’s critical
occupational specialties.
Qualified young men and women
many also enlist to serve at a specific
Army post by selecting the Army’s
station-of-choice option. Guaranteed
