Are you hesitant to enlist because you're unsure of what opportunities will be available to you after you complete your Army service? The Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) enlistment option may be your answer. PaYS, a partnership between the U.S. Army and a cross section of American corporations and public sector agencies, provides you an opportunity to serve your country and at the same time prepare for your future.

Here are a few examples of the over 250 companies that have partnered with the Army:

• Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway
• Cintas
• HCA
• John Deere
• Sears
• Southwest Airlines
• Time Warner Cable
• Walgreens
• Waste Management, Inc.
• Harley Davidson
• DELL
• Anheuser Busch
• Target Corporation
• Hyundai Motor America
• Best Buy

Soldiers receive the finest training, develop valuable skills and gain experience in a broad spectrum of Army jobs. They are motivated, have professional work habits and high standards of conduct. The Army's PaYS partners value these skills and characteristics and want Soldiers in their future workforce.

The PaYS program offers qualifying recruits the opportunity to secure an interview and receive priority consideration with the PaYS partner of their choice following their Army service. If you choose this option during the enlistment process, you will select the job and partner company for which you are eligible. At that time, you will also sign a statement of understanding listing the details of the PaYS job selected and the requirements to remain eligible for the position. Near the end of your Army enlistment term for active Army Soldiers or after initial entry training for Army Reserve Soldiers, you contact your partner company to coordinate an interview.
