How do I find a military enlistment office near me?

I'm thinking about enlisting in the military after graduation and need to visit an enlistment office to learn more. What's the best way to locate the nearest office? Any tips on what to expect during the visit?

To locate a military recruitment office near you, you can use the tool "Find a recruiter" offered on the official websites of each military branch: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. You'll most likely need to provide your zip code to get a list of offices nearby.

When you visit the office, expect to discuss a range of topics with the recruiter. They can answer your questions about requirements for enlistment, available roles, training process, and benefits like education and health insurance.

Make sure you’re prepared with any questions you might have about life in the military, specific branches, or roles you might be interested in. The more clear and precise your questions, the more useful and fulfilling the meeting will be. It's also recommended to take notes during your meeting so you can consider all of the information later in your decision-making process.

Remember, recruiters are there to provide information and assist you, but they also have a job to fulfill recruitment quotas. So, while they'll give you plenty of reasons to join, you should take some time to think through your decision and maybe get some other perspectives before committing. Be sure to thoroughly research and understand the commitments related to enlisting in the military, including the length and terms of service.
