Your child can serve while they are in school◦ The commitment is only one weekend a month plus two weeks

of training in the summer. This can begin at age 17. The Guard gives Soldiers an opportunity to network

and earn benefits◦ They will be eligible for benefits like health and life insurance,

discount shopping privileges on base, VA home loans, and much more.

Most Guard training and deployments occur near home◦ Most weekend training takes place with a unit close to the

Soldier’s home. And while Guard troops can be called up to serve overseas, they’re more often mobilized to assist during domestic emergencies or natural disasters i.e. Hurricane Katrina

EVERY PARENT HAS QUESTIONS

STABILIZATION POLICYSplit-Option EnlistmentA second and very popular option for high school juniors is the Split Option Enlistment. As a junior in high school, you can enlist in the Army National Guard and not interrupt your high school education. You start by attending basic training the summer after your junior year. You will return home in time for school to begin your senior year in the fall. When you return, you will train one weekend per month with your local Army National Guard unit. The summer following your high school graduation, you will attend advanced individual training in the specialty you chose when you enlisted. In most cases, you will return in time to start college in the fall. If you are at least 17 years old, you can take advantage of the split option enlistment program.
