Job Description

The Army National Guard uses a wide range of systems that help protect and serve the force, and as a Quartermaster and Chemical Equipment Repairer, you'll be in charge of making sure those systems keep running at peak performance.

As a Quartermaster and Chemical Equipment Repairer, you will support the maintenance of chemical decontamination equipment and quartermaster machinery. In order to perform these functions, you will train to maintain laundry and bath equipment, pumps, engines, burners, filter units, and water purification units. Your skills will contribute to maintaining special purpose equipment, decontamination and protective filter systems, smoke generator systems, and chemical electrical systems.

Job Duties

Some of the Skills You'll Learn

Helpful Skills

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career with the marine transportation, commercial fishing, oil exploration, or oil drilling industries. You'll be able to consider a future as a marine engine mechanic.

Earn While You Learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

After 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you will attend 12 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which will include a combination of hands-on and classroom training where you will learn marine engine maintenance and repair, as well as internal combustion engine theory, and the use and care of hand and power tools.
