You've served with honor on active duty. And now, as you transition to civilian life, you still have that desire—to stand for something, to protect, to answer the call of your community and country.

There's a place for you in the Guard.

Continue your service nearer to home—where you can use your hard-earned skills to serve your community. Opportunities still abound for your military career, including entry into officer or warrant officer career paths. 

Ease your transition.

The civilian world is different. That applies to pay, benefits and the job hunt. The Guard can help ease your transition with benefits and financial opportunities that you already know, understand and trust.

• Bonuses up to $20,000
• TRICARE Reserve Select insurance
• Retirement benefits
• State-specific benefits
• Full-time employment opportunities
• Stabilization (up to 36 months) 

Another huge benefit is joining a network of military service members who want to see you succeed in the Guard and your civilian career. In the Guard, you'll be a part of that team.

Questions to ask.
