Pvt. Meiling Durzinsky provides interview after the MEDCoE Army National Hiring Days Soldier Forum on June 26, 2020 at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Spread out through several sessions that adhere to COVID-19 countermeasures, the MEDCoE Army National Hiring Days Soldier Forum will reach nearly 600 soldiers.
The U.S. Army is kicking off its first nationwide virtual hiring campaign June 30 through July 2 with a goal of recruiting 10,000 new Soldiers to serve in 150 different occupations. Soldiers local to Joint Base San Antonio- Fort Sam Houston, assigned to the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, or MEDCoE, learned all about the Army National Hiring Days from Army recruiters and senior Army and San Antonio community leaders during an Army National Hiring Days Soldier Forum. These new MEDCoE soldiers, many who joined the Army less than six months ago are great message ambassadors and shining examples of how ordinary citizens can accomplish extraordinary things through service in the military.
As part of the three-day hiring event, Army leaders, operational l units, recruiters and community partners across America will focus on encouraging individuals to explore the Army’s career paths, ranging from traditional combat roles to support positions in logistics, healthcare and technology. They will also highlight the many benefits of military service, to include health insurance, retirement plans, training and education opportunities, and family support programs.
To become an enlisted Soldier in the U.S. Army, individuals must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; be 17-34 years old; achieve a minimum score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test; meet medical, moral and physical requirements; and be a high school graduate or equivalent.
Qualified applicants are eligible for bonuses up to $40,000 or student loan reimbursement up to $65,000, depending on the selected occupation, ASVAB scores, contract length, and timeline for shipping to basic training.
