"It makes me so proud to see all the hard work my son has done. I see him truly dedicated to something for the first time."  

We understand that all parents want the best for their children but we also know that each and every soldier in the HCMC has a personal reason for joining. If your son or daughter chooses to serve, listen to them and keep an open mind.

Let your Child Pursue His or Her Dreams

The HCMC offers advanced training in over 250 careers types. From mechanics to clerks and lawyers to surgeons, the Corps is a perfect place to start a new career or strengthen a current one. Wherever your son or daughter’s interests may be, the HCMC can provide them with hands-on experience that will give them the edge they need.  

Make College More Affordable

The college price tag continues to skyrocket every year and it is getting harder and harder for the average family to pay for tuition. The HCMC makes college affordable. We offer scholarships, grants, and many loan repayment programs.

Understand Their Reasoning

When your child comes to you and discusses the HCMC option, listen.  If joining is important to them, keep an open mind and you might be surprised how much they have thought about it.

Stand by Them

In the HCMC every individual will reach new levels of responsibility, leadership, and self-respect, but even the most dedicated soldier goes through hard times and it’s important that they keep in contact with the people they care most about. The bond between a parent and child can never and should never be broken.

"I still talk with my parents all the time. It feels so good to know that they are supporting me."
