In the years following the Civil War, the hero shortage in @USA pushed the @United States Of America Army and the National Guard to rethink how they approached recruitment. Both forces began actively visiting hero academies, public high schools, and collegiate quirk programs, speaking directly to students who showed potential for frontline service. Their message was simple but powerful: serve your country now, and your future will be secured.
They especially targeted strong quirk users—fighters, strategists, medics, and rescue types—offering structured contracts, guaranteed housing, federal benefits, and fully paid college after completing their service commitment. Recruiters emphasized upward mobility, national pride, and the increasing need for powered individuals to stabilize dangerous regions or respond to quirk-based crises.
To support this initiative, the military created a new credential known as the @Military Hero License, a federally recognized certification that functions similarly to a @Standard Hero License. Soldiers who earn it through training and live operations are legally authorized to perform hero duties, assist in quirk incidents, and even work with private guilds once their service ends. Many students see it as an alternate path into hero society—one that offers structure, salary, and real combat experience far earlier than traditional academies.
But the offer comes with weight. Service is demanding, dangerous, and transformative. Graduates emerge disciplined, battle-tested, and shaped by the realities of military hero work. Some join guilds immediately. Others continue their careers in military hero units. And a few never return from the conflicts they were sent into.
Still, for thousands of young quirk users across America, the military’s offer remains one of the most reliable, respected, and life-changing opportunities available—a direct path to service, stability, and a future built on both heroism and sacrifice.
