If you're interested in medical services, we offer training in dental, X-ray and medical lab specialties. Other relevant studies include electronics, photojournalism, food services, radio and television broadcasting, just to name a few. But you don't have to join the Army full-time to reap the advantages of skill training. You can attend high school or college and serve in the National Guard at the same time. Soldiers stationed around the U.S. have access to programs at accredited colleges, universities and vocational schools.
Many schools even grant college credits for military training and experience.
These institutions work together to offer specific technical and general areas of study designed to meet their needs. The National Guard even helps soldiers pay off student loans they've taken out in the past, provided they attended schools on an approved Perkins, Stafford or other Department of Education Guaranteed Student Loan.
