Where to Sign Up for the Reserve
If you are interested in joining the National Guard or Reserve, keep in mind that there are a
limited number of positions available. The sooner you review your options, the better your
chances of finding a good position by the time you separate.
While you are in the military: Contact your installation’s Reserve Component
Transition Office. The staff will provide you with information about your obligations and
benefit. In most cases, they will put you in touch with an active duty recruiter. You can
access information about opportunities in the Reserve and National Guard online at the websites
listed below.
Once you are out: Contact the nearest Reserve or National Guard unit listed in
your local telephone directory. Any recruiting office will be happy to refer you to the
appropriate recruiter.
Other resources: Many overseas and stateside installations have National Guard and
Reserve recruiters located on their facilities.
