Fifteen-month enlistment option available for Soldiers
by Armed Force Press Service
A 15-month-plus Army en-listment option is now available nationwide for 59 occupational specialties, allowing recruits a choice of following military duty with service in a program such as AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps.
The Army Recruiting Com-mand announced last week a nationwide expansion of its "15-month plus training enlistment option," a program recruiting officials said is designed to promote and facilitate military enlistment in support of national service.
The 15-month-plus enlistment opt-ion was first implemented in October 2003 as a pilot program in 10 of the Army's 41 recruiting battalions: Albany, N.Y.; Columbia, S.C.; Miami; Raleigh, N.C.; Cleve-land; Kansas City, Mo.; Okla-homa City; Sacramento and Southern California (Mission Viejo, Calif.), and San Antonio, Texas. Applicants enlisting for this program will incur an eight-year military service obligation.
The obligation will consist of: 15 months of active duty after completion of basic and adv-anced individual training and 24 months of satisfactory participation as an active drilling member in the Army Reserve or National Guard. Soldiers have the option of serving the re-mainder of their eight-year obligation in one of three ways, as:
* an active drilling member of the Army Reserve or National Guard
* a member of the inactive Individual Ready Reserve, kno-wn as the IRR
* a member of a National Service Program designated by the Secretary of Defense (such as AmeriCorps or the Peace Corps).
Soldiers in the program also have the option of re-enlisting to remain on active duty, re-cruiting officials said. For more about Army enlistment opportunities visit goarmy.com
