Joining the Army is an important decision for your son or daughter. It's critical you have all the information you need. After you've had a chance to read over the information on our site, start talking to your child about whether the Army is a viable option.
An open dialogue is the key to making the right decision for your family. Start by discussing how your son or daughter is feeling about the Army — and if he or she has considered any alternate options. Ask questions, listen to his or her reasons for wanting to join, then explore more information together.
The Army is here to support your decision-making process every step of the way. We do our best to provide communication across many different channels, letting you decide how to gather the information you need.

WHAT IS A RECRUITER?
Recruiters are some of the most experienced Soldiers in the Army — that's what makes them qualified to tell you about what the Army has to offer. But first and foremost, Recruiters are there to help you make the decision that's right for the individual and the family.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TALKING TO A RECRUITER?
There are no high-pressure "sales tactics" involved. Recruiters will discuss the many advantages of service in the Army and invite an open dialogue about the decision-making process.
WHAT SHOULD I ASK A RECRUITER?
You are free to ask a Recruiter anything you might want to know about service in the Army. We recommend that your time with a Recruiter be spent asking specific questions about your son or daughter's individual needs and how the Army can best help them achieve their goals.
