25C Radio Operator/Maintainer

Army National Guard - Starke, FL

25C Radio Operator/Maintainer

With the Army National Guard's thousands of personnel and countless missions, the need for communications goes beyond vitally important to absolute necessity, because without ongoing and reliable communications, systems fail, orders do not get relayed, and missions come to a grinding halt.

That's why the Army National Guard fields the communications maintenance team – to keep the Army National Guard talking. Guard Radio Operator/Maintainers are primarily responsible for all maintenance checks and services on assigned radio communication equipment, allowing the Army to track and direct troop movements.

Become a Radio Operator/Maintainer and you will also gain the skills necessary for a future with civilian companies or Government agencies that design, repair, or make communications and electronic equipment. You may even get the opportunity to expand your certifications and credentials to make you that much more attractive to civilian employers.
