Military Service

    • Joining the military enables you to serve your country, earn a salary right away, earn your college degree while in the service, or have the government pay for a large part of your college expenses after you leave the service. 

    If military service is your best choice after graduation, how can you prepare for it now?

    • Talk to a Recruiter

      Reach out to a recruiter from each branch of service. Most branches of service have recruiters who will visit your campus.  Not all services offer the same opportunities.  You need to find out what each one offers and what your obligation is in return.  

    • Take the A.S.V.A.B. Test

      The A.S.V.A.B. is offered on your campus or you may contact a recruiting office for the next test date.  The scores might point the way to surprising opportunities in the service. Although the test is administered by the military, it is not (and never has been) a requirement that a test-taker with a qualifying score enlist in the armed forces.  See your CCMR specialist or counselor for the A.S.V.A.B. test date at your campus.       

    • Join the Jr. R.O.T.C.

      To begin military training early and have an advantage in rank after you join the service.  See the military information and check with your counselor about specialized military opportunities, such as, the military academies, R.O.T.C. scholarships, and reserve programs.  Some of these require preparation during the junior year.      

      For more information, please visit the NEISD JROTC website.

    • Military Academies

      Many young men and women wish to attend one of the service academies to serve their country as a military officer.  The screening process is a rigorous one and begins early.  Some senators have a November 1st deadline.  If you are interested, you need to see your counselor in the spring of your junior year to begin the necessary testing and paperwork.
