Electric Missile System Repair

JOB DETAILS:

Electronics are used in virtually every Army National Guard unit. It is the job of the Land Combat Electronic Missile System Repairer to fix and maintain electronics relevant to the Army's missile systems.

You will work primarily on the TOW antimissile system, the DRAGON antitank guided missile systems, and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle systems. Other duties include testing instruments and navigational controls, reading technical diagrams and manuals to locate and repair instrument parts, and replacing equipment parts. You will also perform quality control, inspect and maintain units, and repair unserviceable items.

The skills you learn as an Army National Guard Land Combat Electronic Missile System Repairer could help prepare you for a civilian career in manufacturing, medical research, satellite communications, or in the commercial airline industry. You may also consider a career with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or the National Weather Service. Through extensive Army National Guard training, experience, and some additional study, you may be eligible for Electronics Technician Association (ETA) certification.

Earn while you learn

As an Army National Guard Land Combat Electronic Missile System Repairer, you will learn these valuable job skills while getting up to a $20,000 enlistment bonus, earning a regular paycheck, and qualifying for tuition assistance. Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to learn.

After Basic Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you will attend approximately 24 weeks of classroom instruction including practice in repairing and replacing equipment parts. You will learn the principles of electronics, how to use and maintain electrical and electronic test equipment, and equipment repair.

As your skills increase, so will your responsibilities.
