The folks at POW Network sent us this in the event a couple of you have a hankering to train motivated teenagers in the ways of a soldier;

SUPPORT STAFF:

Opportunities exist for 6-8 individuals, for up to nine weeks during the summer (mid-June through mid-August), with the following qualifications:

a. An active duty, reserve/National guard or retired Soldier of any rank, or ROTC Cadet (not JROTC), with a solid understanding of the Army culture, traditions and training methodologies. The applicant must possess, and be authorized to wear, a uniform based on current military status (Active, Reserve, National Guard, Retired, ROTC Cadet or Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)), or must submit an application for membership in USAC. Active, Army Reserve or Army National Guard Army personnel will be temporarily appointed to their current Army military rank within USAC, wearing USAC modifying insignia. Individuals with experience in another service may be considered on a case-by-case basis. CAP and NSCC personnel are not authorized to wear their programs’ uniform in support of this mission.

b. Able to be available on-site for the entire period of training between 18 Jun – 10 Aug 11. We maintain a very high OP-TEMPO. There is no flexibility on the dates.

c. Physically capable of keeping up with the demands of a very strenuous program.

d. Age 21 or over with a Valid driver’s license. Extraordinary applicants who are under 21 may be considered.

g. Ability to support the training of Cadets, based on past experience in the U.S. Army and, preferably, a solid understanding of the importance of Cadetting.

This position will provide room and board and a small stipend, based on experience. This is an ideal opportunity for a young ROTC Cadet or ARNG/USAR Soldier who wishes to gain additional experience.

The above position will NOT be “pushing recruits” in a Drill Sergeant role. These positions are support personnel to assist with administration, operations, transportation, supply, etc.

DRILL SERGEANTS:

Opportunities may exist for 4-6 Soldiers, for up to eight weeks during the summer (mid-June through mid-August), with the following qualifications:

a. A qualified Drill Sergeant of any rank, or other NCO who can provide Drill Sergeant style leadership. Active, Army Reserve, Army National Guard Army or retired personnel will be temporarily appointed to their current Army military rank within USAC, wearing USAC modifying insignia.
