THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

There is strong, then there’s ARMY STRONG

THE ARMY TRANSFORMATION

My transformation from Civilian to Soldier was a dynamic change. I had the values of a soldier instilled in me; I became a leader of soldiers and

instilled the same values into my subordinates. I did not change myself. I only built a better foundation to support myself and others.

world safe through every major conflict.

Army Strong

There is strong. And then there’s Army Strong.

Army strong is a unique brand of strength. Everyone is familiar with the tangible

power of the U.S. Army: the Apaches, the Humvees, the weaponry, the push-ups. It is

harder to see, but it is this strength that makes the U.S. Army the preeminent land

power on earth.

Being Army Strong is about much more than being physically fit. It is mental and

emotional strength. It is the confidence to lead. It is the courage to stand up for your

beliefs. It is the compassion to help others. It is the desire for lifelong learning. It is

the intelligence to make the right decision. It is making a difference for yourself, your

family, your community and our nation.

Army Strong is also the kind of strength that endures. It has endured for over 230

years. It is the strength that comes from challenging training, teamwork, Army Values

and personal experience. A Soldier’s time in the Army may come to an end, but he or

she will always be Army Strong because the lessons learned and values gained are

timeless. They will serve as a springboard to life beyond the Army and will last long

after physical strength fades.

ARE YOU ARMY STRONG?

I am an American Soldier

I am a Warrior and a member of a team

SERVICE TO COUNTRY

Service to Country: Tradition, History, and Army Values

Continue a Proud Tradition

Citizen Soldiers have proudly defended the United States for

more than 230 years.

It began in 1775, when the Minutemen put down their tools and picked up their muskets to

repel a threat to their way of life.

And today’s Army and Army Reserve Soldiers are prepared to

follow in their footsteps if the need should arise.

You’ll have the satisfaction of continuing to serve your

country, defending our freedom, and maintaining the

American way of life.

ARMY VALUES

Your Strongest Weapon

IT MEANS YOU LIVE UP TO A HIGHER STANDARD

Many people know what the words Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service,

Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage mean. But how often do you see

someone actually live up to them? Soldiers learn these values in detail during

Basic Combat Training (BCT), from then on they live them every day in

everything they do-whether they’re on the job or off. In short, the seven core

Army Values are what being a Soldier is all about.

Loyalty: Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and

other soldiers

Duty: Fulfill your obligations

Respect: Treat people as they should be treated

Selfless Service: Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army and your subordinates before

your own

Honor: Live up to the Army values

Integrity: Do what’s right, legally and morally

Personal Courage: Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral).

Education Paying For Your Education

One of the most important benefits you can receive as a Soldier is money to further your

education or pay off existing student loans. While skills training in the Army is always a

priority, so is encouraging Soldiers to attend College or take continuing education

courses.

Education Dreams Become Reality

Through The Army Education System

How much will I receive?

Based on your length of active duty service, you are entitled to a percentage of the following:

-Cost of tuition and fees, not to exceed the most expensive in-state undergraduate tuition at a public institution of higher

education (paid to school);

-Monthly housing allowance* equal to the basic allowance for housing payable to a military E-5 with dependents, in the

same zip code as your school (paid to you);

-Yearly books and supplies stipend of up to $1000 per year (paid to you); and -A one-time payment of $500 paid to certain

individuals relocating from highly rural areas

How many months of assistance can I receive?

Generally, you may receive up to 36 months of entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

How long am I eligible?

You will be eligible for benefits for 15 years from your last period of active duty of at least 90 consecutive days. If you were

released for a service-connected disability after at least 30 days of continuous service, you will also be eligible for benefits

for 15 years.

Example:

Tuition and fees for full time enrollment: $6700. Highest in-state tuition and fees: $7000.

Scenario 1: If you separated following three years on active duty and are going to school full-time, you would receive

$6700 for tuition and fees, $1000 for books and supplies, and the monthly housing allowance.

Post 9/11 Montgomery GI Bill

Financial Stability

and Security The Army is committed to the well being of the community of people who serve and stand ready to

defend the nation. Soldiers and their families receive comprehensive health care, life insurance and

generous vacation time.

Health Care

As a Soldier, you and your family are automatically covered by a comprehensive HMO-type health

care plan called TRICARE that provides medical and dental care at little or no cost.

TRICARE enrollees receive most health care at a Military Treatment Facility (MTF), where a primary

care manager (PCM) supervises their care. The Army's health care team is one of the biggest health

care networks in the world, utilizing state-of-the-art technology in world-renowned facilities. A

network of "preferred" or "in-network" providers add to the services offered at MTFs. Soldiers and

their families are free to make appointments with any authorized provider. Separate programs are

available for Soldiers and their families who are on remote assignment or overseas.

Life Insurance

Service members' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) is a program of low cost group life insurance for

Active Duty and Army Reserve Soldiers. SGLI coverage is available in $10,000 increments up to the

maximum of $400,000. SGLI premiums are currently $.065 per $1,000 of insurance, regardless of the

member's age.

Vacation

Time off is an important component of Soldier life and well being. Soldiers on Active Duty receive:

30 days vacation earned annually

Weekends free

National holidays

Sick days as needed

Basic Allowance for Housing

(BAH)

Basic Allowance for Substance

(BAS 2015)

Basic Allowance for Substance is money paid to soldiers who do not eat in a Army

Dining Facility. It is money paid to the soldier to buy groceries with.

You will NOT receive this money while you are attending BCT.

Current BAS is: $367.92

The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is a U.S. based allowance prescribed by

geographic duty location, pay grade, and dependency status. It provides

uniformed Service members equitable housing compensation based on housing

costs in local civilian housing markets within the United States when government

quarters are not provided. A uniformed service member stationed outside the

U.S., including U.S. territories and possessions, not furnished government

housing, is eligible for Overseas Housing Allowance (OAH).
