I served for a total of 21 years with the U.S. Army – three years of active duty and 18 years with the Army National Guard. Some of the opportunities and benefits other veterans can take advantage of here at the IRS are experiencing comradery among co-workers, military leave every fiscal year, and a Veteran Mentoring Program. I would say join because working with the IRS is another way you can continue serving your country while also growing professionally in your career.
