Job Description

This job is an active duty enlisted position within the United States Army. Prospective employees must pass a medical physical, the ASVAB, and background test to be eligible to enlist. (This is an enlistment or commission into the US Army) not a civilian position.

Infantryman
As a first step toward becoming an Infantryman, you’ll train in the use of small arms, anti-tank, and other weapons systems. You will be responsible for capturing, destroying, and repelling enemy ground forces during missions. This is also the starting point for many advanced schools, such as Special Forces, Airborne School, Ranger School, Sniper School, and Pathfinder School.

Salary:
Your Army salary is just one part of the total compensation Soldiers earn. While civilian jobs may pay higher baseline salaries, the Army offers a starting salary above the federal minimum wage, plus a variety of benefits on top of your base pay that add up. When you consider affordable health care for part-time Soldiers and free health care for full-time Soldiers, plus access to bonuses, allowances for housing, food, and clothing, education benefits to get a college degree with less debt, and more financial benefits, the Army offers a competitive choice to similar civilian careers.

Benefits:
The Army offers a complete package of benefits that not only supports you and your family but also helps you advance in your career. Whether you serve part-time or full-time as an enlisted Soldier or Army Officer, you’ll earn competitive pay with opportunities for bonuses, as well as receive health care at little to no cost. You could also receive money for education, student loan repayment assistance, training and certifications, housing, living expenses, and more.
  • Education:
    If you’re interested in pursuing an education, the Army not only offers programs to help you earn your degree while you serve but also helps pay for tuition costs through tuition assistance programs and a variety of merit-based scholarships.
  • Enlistment Bonuses:
    Within the Army, earning a bonus can happen sooner than you may think. Depending on how you serve, and by meeting the necessary qualifications, the Army offers enlistment bonuses of up to $50K for filling in-demand skills or following certain career paths.
  • Skills & Training:
    The Army offers a variety of training programs, leadership courses, and certifications to develop your skills, so you can shape the career you want to have and keep moving it forward.
  • Health Care:
    As a commitment to the well-being of every Soldier, the Army provides high-quality comprehensive health care coverage and life insurance. Full-time Soldiers and their families receive free health care.
  • Vacation:
    Time off is an important part of a Soldier’s life and well-being, which is why full-time Soldiers receive 30 days of paid vacation, weekends, national holidays, and sick days annually.
  • Veterans Affairs Home Loan:
    If you’re actively serving, a veteran, or a select military spouse, you could qualify for the VA Loan and put $0 down on a mortgage. VA loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
