SAN ANTONIO, Texas – To protect the soldiers, family members, civilians and future soldiers in San Antonio, the U.S. Army San Antonio Medical Recruiting Station and Army South Central Chaplain Recruiting Station have transitioned to a mobile and virtual recruiting presence during the coronavirus pandemic.
All recruiting events and activities have been canceled until further notice to limit in-person contact with the public as Army medical staff and public health professionals continue to closely monitor the situation.
“For those interested in learning more about the various career opportunities Army Medicine and the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps have to offer, our recruiters are accessible through text, phone calls, direct messages or video chat,” said Lt Col. Mary I. Rivera, the commander of the 5th Medical Recruiting Battalion, a higher headquarters element to the stations.
