Military

The United States Military Services provide challenges and career training opportunities for high school graduates. Military recruiters can provide complete information about the benefits and requirements involved in a military career.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (A.S.V.A.B.) Career Exploration Program is a comprehensive career planning program that includes a multiple-aptitude test battery, and interest inventory, in addition to various career planning tools. District 203 sophomores, juniors, and seniors have the opportunity each fall (October/November) to take the A.S.V.A.B. at either Naperville North or Naperville Central. Information on how to sign-up will be sent out prior to the test each fall.

In addition to full-time military service, opportunities exist in reserve units, the National Guard, University Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) programs, and military academies. A variety of educational benefit programs can help finance a college education for members of the military.
