Job description
This job is an active duty enlisted position within the United States Army. Prospective employees must pass a medical physical, ASVAB, and background test to be eligible to enlist. (This is an enlistment or commission into the US Army) not a civilian position.

When you consider affordable health care for part-time Soldiers and free health care for full-time Soldiers, plus access to bonuses, allowances for housing, food, and clothing, education benefits to get a college degree with less debt, and more financial benefits, the Army offers a competitive choice to similar civilian careers.

The Army offers a variety of training programs, leadership courses, and certifications to develop your skills, so you can shape the career you want to have and keep moving it forward. - Health Care:
As a commitment to the well-being of every Soldier, the Army provides high-quality comprehensive health care coverage and life insurance. Full-time Soldiers and their families receive free health care. - Vacation:
