Our recruiting office at Jacksonville State University helps Gamecocks and Calhoun County residents discover how the Alabama Army National Guard can support their education and future. Guard service is part time, so it fits right alongside your classes and campus life. Service and school can work together here.
For students, the Guard can be a powerful way to pay for college. Members can earn state and federal tuition assistance, GI Bill eligibility, competitive part-time pay, health and dental coverage options and VA home loan eligibility, all while staying on track with their degree. Drill is part time, so you can serve without stepping away from your coursework, your friends or campus activities.
Guard Soldiers also build leadership, teamwork and discipline that set them apart after graduation, and they stand ready to serve Alabama and the nation alongside a family of fellow Soldiers. It’s a way to serve on your terms, balancing the college experience with a commitment to something bigger than yourself.
