About this job

Age Requirements: Must be between the ages of 17 and 35

Job Description

Discipline. Leadership. Teamwork. These are the qualities all employers look for because people who possess them think clearly, remain calm under pressure, and push the organization forward. Join the Army National Guard and you will gain these qualities and take them into your civilian career.

The Army National Guard has openings for AVENGER Crewmembers. In this role, you will provide mobile, short-range air defense protection. To do so, you will learn how to prepare, operate, and fire weapons systems, establish and maintain radio communications, and perform target engagement evaluations. Other duties include driving, vehicle maintenance, and securing battle positions.

While not directly related to any civilian position, the discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills you develop in this specialty can be applied in any civilian career.

Earn while you learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

Job training for AVENGER Crewmembers consists of 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and 10 weeks of Advanced Individual Training. Training consists of both classroom and field work.

Requires military enlistment. Applicants must meet minimum qualifications. Actual MOS assignment may depend on MOS availability. Benefits subject to change.
