In the heart of the Shoals, Florence is known for its music heritage and its strong sense of community. Our Florence recruiting office on Cox Creek Parkway helps residents of Lauderdale County and the Shoals explore a rewarding part-time military career with the Alabama Army National Guard. It’s a different way to serve, rooted in the Shoals.
Guard members keep their civilian jobs or stay in school while earning state and federal tuition assistance for schools like the University of North Alabama and Northwest-Shoals Community College, GI Bill eligibility, health and dental coverage options, VA home loan eligibility and competitive pay. Part-time service lets you keep your civilian job or classes while you build new skills and benefits.
Serving in the Guard means standing ready for the Shoals and the nation as part of a team that supports one another, all while living the life you want at home. Why serve in a conventional way when you can serve on your terms, alongside a family of warriors from right here in the Shoals?
