The Bottom Line: We want you in the Captain’s Crew! I want YOU to join the army today.

Doctors. Scientists. Engineers.

Want those jobs? Then join the U.S. Army.

When you think of the U.S. Army, you’re probably thinking boot camps, push-ups, and fighting man-to-man. However, students should understand that not everyone working in the U.S. Army is actually involved in combat. In addition to “combat speciality occupations”, there are numerous healthcare, engineer, and science positions—all of which are jobs MVHS students love.

The pay is not bad, either. Health care personnel get paid up to $50,000 yearly. Engineers get paid a yearly salary of $88,000. Nuclear scientists can expect an average $60,000 yearly salary with many incentives and bonuses along the way.

The moment MVHS students see the words U.S. Army, they automatically skip over to the next line. The year before last year, only 1 percent of the then seniors were considering joining the army .  While students may not be interested in combat positions, students can consider signing up for different positions in the army.

So help out the army—sign up for engineer, healthcare, or science positions today.
