The Army Recruiters from the U.S. Army Recruiting Station on Guam are on Saipan until Jan. 23 to visit Saipan’s high schools and to test young men and women for service in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve.

They will be available to answer any question people may have about joining the U.S. Army, including incentives like money for college, skill training, guaranteed pay and entitlements, travel, adventure, medical and dental care, 20-year retirement and more.

All interested-young men and women, between the ages of 17-34, all high school seniors and high school graduates-are encouraged to take the test, as another U.S. Army Reserve unit is going to be on Saipan.
