Become an Army Lieutenant! 

Munera Commissioning

If you wish, you can serve your country in one of the most respected professions in the nation: an officer in the US Army. North Georgia is the the place for you to start! Our military training is second to no other ROTC program in preparing Cadets to take charge as Army officers. If you choose to take the path to officership, you will have one of the best jobs available to any college graduate in the nation.

As a newly-commissioned lieutenant, you will have tremendous leadership and management responsibilities that will far exceed any civilian job you can imagine. You'll receive between $55,000 and $66,000 per year in salary, 30 days paid vacation, and free medical insurance.You do not have to pay into a retirement plan, and you can still retire after 20 years! There is no other job for a college graduate that offers as much room for personal and professional development, in addition to the benefits package, than that of a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.

In less than 4 years after graduating, you will receive 2 promotions and be making $89,000 - $95,000 per year as a captain in the United States Army.

Another opportunity available to you is service as a part-time officer in the National Guard or United States Army Reserve:  you will be able to serve your country while pursuing a full-time civilian career. Additional benefits unique to Guard and Reserve officers are job placement assistance and hiring preferences.

Guard and Reserve officers make over $7,500 a year as lieutenants, and in seven years with two promotions, a captain in the Guard/Reserve makes almost $10,000 a year. This money is in addition to the salary that Guard and Reserve officers earn with their civilian jobs. If you wish to serve your country, but you have a civilian career to pursue as well, then becoming an officer in the Guard or Reserve could be the perfect choice for you!

As an Army lieutenant, there are many different jobs that you can do. The Army has 15 basic branches for second lieutenants. These branches range from combat arms branches such Infantry and Armor, to combat service support branches such as the Transportation Corps. As a lieutenant you can lead a platoon of Airborne Infantry soldiers or plan logistical support for battalions and brigades of soldiers.
