π¨π₯π₯ ENLISTMENT ALERT π₯π₯π¨
Hereβs an example on why we love what we do. Future Airman 1st Class Arnone is a senior at Somers High School. He has a goal to become a pilot, and is currently working on his goal right now attending pilot lessons. He has now joined the CT Air National Guard as a Loadmaster to learn the ways of the Aircrew philosophies that will gear him up for future pilot opportunities.

The cool thing about this enlistment is knowing that his father was a member of our Wing years ago. Family tradition is still a major roll on why many join us, and I am sure that Arnone will make his parents proud. Iβm happy I got to experience the moment with all of them yesterday. These are the little self-rewarding moments we recruiters get to take with us to our next recruit.

Now for the icing on the cake. Future A1C Arnone is receiving free state tuition for his bachelors and masters. Heβs receiving a $15,000 bonus for enlisting, and also receiving nearly $28,000 tax free cash while attending college. This is not including the potential 18 months of active duty pay he will receive while on training to learn about the Air Force & Loadmaster lifestyle. This is not too bad for a 17 year old getting ready to graduate high school.
