Translators are in High Demand

Week of May 05, 2008

Our nation's defense has always depended on the military's ability to glean information from foreign language newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasts and other sources. The Army needs speakers of Middle-Eastern languages to serve as interpreter/translators on both active and reserve duty. Here are the bonuses offered:

* Translator Aide (Middle-Eastern languages) bonus of $10,000 for enlisting in the U.S. Army Individual Ready Reserve.

* An Army Civilian Skills bonus of $5,000 for the Army (active duty) or $15,000 for the Army Reserve for applicants with no previous military service experience.

*An additional $20,000 Quick Ship bonus for those who are willing to report to basic training within 30 days.
