Prior Service

For many, the call to military service never stops. There’s nothing else like the adventure, the bonds and the pride of serving your country. If you have prior service and are thinking about re-enlisting, you need to connect with the National Guard.

Whether you’ve served in the Army or another branch, we can get you up to speed quickly through our Warrior Transition Course. Be a part of a vital branch of the military, defending your country at home and overseas. Your experience and critical skills may qualify for a bonus, or you can enter a new MOS and learn new career skills. And you can combine the time you’ve served previously with your Guard service to earn full retirement benefits.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about putting your expertise and experience to use by becoming an officer or warrant officer. The National Guard can help you explore your leadership opportunities through Officer Candidate School (OCS) or Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS).

And while the Guard’s part-time service allows you to stay on course with your civilian life and career, you also enjoy many benefits and perks of military life:

You already know about the action, the excitement and sense of purpose you get from serving your country. Feel the pride again as a Soldier in the National Guard.

* Bonus amounts vary by state. Contact your local Guard representative for current bonus availability.
