ARLINGTON, Va. - As the National Guard focuses on retaining Soldiers during the drawdown in Afghanistan, it's critical to provide them with the answers they need about retention.
In an effort to support retention efforts in the Army National Guard, GX® has launched the Retention Tutor, a program managed by Retention experts devoted to answering those questions.
Retention experts, trained and skilled in the most current policies and procedures, are available now to assist Soldiers in navigating such issues as interstate transfers, military occupational specialty changes, extending their service, educational benefits or just general inquiries.
Soldiers can think of it as a one-stop shop to help them make the most of their Guard experience.
All Soldiers who contact the Retention Tutor also receive help in connecting with their local Retention Noncommissioned Officer (NCO). GX maintains a current list of each Retention NCO across the nation.
Soldiers can call the Retention Tutor at 877-My-Guard or by emailing RetentionTutor@GXonline.com.
