Plus, for a smaller Army to be successful, we must have not only the best technology but smart, committed and well-trained soldiers to run it. Army training gives you both an education money can't buy, and one it can. . . But maybe you're not looking for money to go to college. In that case, you're way ahead of the game. Because once you qualify for enlistment, the Army may assign you a higher rank and salary than if you had no college.
Promotions come quicker, too.
If you want to go to college, there are a variety of financial aid programs to choose from. The most popular are the Montgomery GI Bill and Army College Fund. The leadership and management training students get by participating in OCS can serve as the foundation for future success in either a military or civilian career. For instance, if computer science is your field of interest, the Army offers training in computer operations, computer repair and program analysis. If you're interested in medical services, we offer training in dental, X-ray and medical lab specialties.
