MILITARY INFORMATION
 

If you want to explore the military, please take the ASVAB Test in the fall at LCM. When taken at a school, you can retake it sooner than when taken at MEPS.

Military Recruiters from many of the branches below visit the campus and are often available in the Bear Square during lunches on Wednesdays.
