Nevada Air National Guard opens recruitment center

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) -The Nevada Air National Guard is looking for new recruits by setting up shop where they are.

”You want to go to college? said Ssgt. Kraig Kimball. “We pay for it all. Tuition assistance, Book reimbursement. On top of that, there are tons of trades you can learn in this organization and it’s just an amazing place to be.”

The Nevada Air Guard includes the 152nd Airlift Wing, the 152nd Intelligence Squadron* in Reno -- and a combat test squadron in Las Vegas,

They’re looking for recruits in a variety of career fields, including mechanical, logistics and security.
