Always Ready. Always There.
Citizen Soldiers typically drill once a month and receive full tuition waived at New Hampshire State Schools. We're Doctors, Nurses, teachers, students, firefighters, police officers, state troopers, college professors, coaches, plumbers, contractors, business owners, journalists, etc. We're people who have important jobs in our communities who have decided that we ALSO want to stay fully qualified in a SECOND career to serve our country. We have given up our time with our families and time off from our civilian careers for training and drills. We somehow manage to do two things very successfully. And we think that's pretty "cool".
Dude, that New Hampshire Army National Guard soldier is literally getting paid to go to college. They must be their parents favorite child.
