Quartermaster and Chemical Equipment Repairer

Are you one of those people who just instinctively see how things work? Are you the person people come to when they need to have something looked at or fixed? Put that talent to work in the Army National Guard.

As a Quartermaster and Chemical Equipment Repairer in the Army National Guard, you will build the skills you need for a civilian career while directly supporting the maintenance of chemical decontamination equipment and quartermaster machinery. In order to perform these functions, you will train to maintain laundry and bath equipment, pumps, engines, burners, filter units, and water purification units. Your skills will contribute to maintaining special purpose equipment, decontamination and protective filter systems, smoke generator systems, and chemical electrical systems.

Earn while you learn
Get paid to learn! Join the Guard and you will learn valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

After 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you will attend approximately 11 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which will include a combination of hands-on and classroom training where you will learn marine engine maintenance and repair, as well as internal combustion engine theory and the use and care of hand and power tools.

And as your skills increase, so will your responsibilities. Advanced team members supervise and train other Soldiers within the same discipline.
