We Guard America's Skies!
 

We are the Air National Guard... part of the best fighting team in the United States Air Force. We play a vital role in accomplishing the day to day missions of the Air Force. That's right, the old concept of the "weekend warrior" is a thing of the past.

What the 177th has to offer

We're getting more first-line missions and first-line equipment. Now we need more first-line people, people from all talent areas, all groups, and all backgrounds. And we're strong on equal opportunity. Defending America is everybody's business. 
That's where you come in. If you have prior military experience, we need your expertise. However, if you're a newcomer, we'll help you get that expertise at some of the finest technical schools available. . . and, we'll feed, clothe, house, and pay you while you learn your new trade.
It's your chance to build a better future and share in that great feeling of knowing you're contributing to your country... helping to insure the well-being of your fellow Americans. 
The whole thing is a sharing proposition where everyone benefits...you...the Air National Guard... your civilian employer, your community...The Nation.
