The process starts by contacting an Army recruiter and telling them that you are interested in knowing more information. The recruiter you contact will always be happy to schedule an in home or office appointment to discuss your goals, the pre-qualifications, enlistment options, Army benefits and any other questions and concerns you or your family may have. Recruiter stations are located in just about every town in the United States which makes it very convenient for those interested in joining.
If you are happy with the initial information the recruiter presented to you and the recruiter has determined that you would be a good candidate to go further with the process, you will then be scheduled at your convenience, to take an ASVAB test. The ASVAB test abbreviation stands for Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Test. Test results determine whether or not one qualifies for military service, and if so, what jobs they qualify for. You can find in depth information about the ASVAB test on Wikipedia. Locations for taking the ASVAB depends on where your geographical location is within the United States or abroad, but your recruiter will tell you where you will be taking it.

We are the land of the free because of outstanding men and and women such as yourself. I thought this bumper sticker on my girlfriend’s car that said “If you can’t stand behind your troops stand in front and fight with them.” I agree. You have contributed to America being the home of the brave and you should be proud of yourself.
