Show National Guard solicts sign ups Serve at home. LTC Dee R. Russon, Commanding Officer of the 1457th Engineer Battalion with units in American Fork; Vernal; Price; Murray; Mur-ray; Provo; Mt. Pleasant; and Nephi strongly recommends that young men and women seriously consider and look into the opportunities available in the Engineers. Specialized training ranging from heavy equipment operation, communication, com-munication, cooks, administration, and wheeled vehicle mechanic schools are available. At present the 1457th Engineer Battalion can offer tuition support up to $2,000 for schooling at an accredited institution or $1500 in cash bonus available if you qualify and complete com-plete Advanced Individual Training (AIT). High School seniors can join immediately, im-mediately, get paid for monthly attendance atten-dance (one weekend a month) at drill (about $60 per drill) and not leave for Basic Training until after graduation. The pay during Basic and AIT is about $425 per month with meals, uniforms and housing furnished. This training lasts from 3-5 months depending on the specialty school selected and can be split into two periods one each summer sum-mer if desired (about 2 months each). LTC Russon indicated that these benefits may be withdrawn at any time by the military but are presently still available. This is a choice opportunity to pick up extra bonus benefits in schooling or cash.
