Millions of Americans serve in the armed forces every year, many of whom try to incorporate their training into a future career after service. During this pivotal point in life, it is beneficial to think about attending an HVAC school. HVAC or HVAC/R stands for heating, venting, air conditioning and refrigeration, and is commonly used to refer to a specific type of school. Although it may not be obvious, an HVAC school builds off of many of the skills learned in the Army.

Transfer Your Military Skills to a Post-Military Career

The Army demands precision, patience, and focus; all of these can be applied to repairing mechanical devices as well. Because both the Army and repair work require the same traits, it keeps your mind sharp so that you can continue to grow as a person without the fear of falling back or going off track.

Heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration are very common things that people use every day in some way. Because of this, there is also a strong demand to have people who have the ability to repair these types of devices. An HVAC school teaches you the HVAC skills necessary to be able to repair these items with confidence.

Financial Aid for Veterans

There are several Army scholarships available for several fields of education, and HVAC training is included in that group. The GI Bill® can also be used to earn the training necessary to attend an HVAC school. It is obvious that the Army values the skills that are taught in an HVAC school, which is why there are Army scholarships that encourage people to go into the field.

The Army gives you a foundation that you can use for the rest of your life. After you finish with your training and service, it is necessary to think about your next step forward. When you come to this point, don’t forget to look into The Refrigeration School, the training will give you a sense of accomplishment as well as help you maintain the sharp skill set you learned in the Army.
