Got referred to Staff Sergeant Tran as my recruiter for my first enlistment. He guided me step by step through the entire process--explaining everything clearly, helping me pick the right MOS based on my skills and goals, and ensuring I was fully prepared. Definitely referring my friends to him. read more

I talked to one of the recruiters and made me looking in a a different way. I was guided and explained my options. I felt like I was talking to a friend, and I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in the army. read more

Dont recruit with these morons, tried to steal me from another recruiter who I was at the time working with , they said they would check out too see ahead of time if my waiver would go through, then fucked up my packet by putting stuff in my packet that didn't need to be there and then labeled me as "permanently disqualified", despite me not even working with them. I have never met a group of more disrespectful, unqualified recruiters. They are worse than a sleezy used car salesman. Run. read more

Really opened my eyes to the different possibilities. They were very kind and straight forward. Honestly one of the best places if been to for recruitment read more

Mannn I'm telling you you wanna be a soldier go here my recruiter Ssg Harris got all my stuff put together got me enlisted and I'm shipping out next month. If you're serious about making a difference join the army. read more

Staff Sergeant Jones and Rojas, without them, I wouldn't be where I am at right now. These two work great as a team to help me through my enlisting process. I'm glad they both tucked me under their wing :) #USArmy read more

This recruiting center is hands down the best the Army has to offer. My application took a while and Sergeant Jones stuck with it and helped me out through the entire process. He answered any question I had with accuracy and truth. I was never lead astray or given "BS" answers, which was important. No one tried to "Sell" me on the Army. I was able to make my own decisions and each decision I made was supported. When I was having some issues with MEPS, Sergeant Jones and Rojas (and many others) put their neck out for me to clear the issue up. I don't know many recruiters that would do that. The recruiting center worked very hard for me and I will be forever grateful. I live closer to Riverside but drove to Garden Grove because this recruiting center is the best. I also have to say thank you to SSG Nguyen for helping me with any questions I had after I swore in. read more

Best recruiting station ever ! I've been to many different recruiting stations but Garden Grove is by far the best ! All the recruiters are very polite & welcoming . If you're ever interested in joining or if you have any questions they're more than happy to help. (: read more

This is the best recruiting station I have been to and the only I would really recommend. All the recruiters are very polite, welcoming, and caring when it comes to recruits and their parents coming in to know more information about the military. My recruiter of the army, SSG Campos helped me understand more about the military and why it is not just about the military... it is much more than being a part of the branch. They are the most honest recruiters you will ever meet! If there is anything they will say, they will tell you both good and bad. If you have any doubts about joining, feel free to bring a list of those questions! I assure you, they will tell you everything you need and want to know! read more

The best recruiter in Orange county area. Got me in the Army in 5 days with some sign-up bonus. If you want information, hit him up now at 714-716-7103. He will get you in the Army ASAP with thre highest bonus and the job you want. read more

Great recruiters at this office. I jumped from recruiter to recruiter with every branch with all false promises. Then I called this office and they delivered with what they said and a week later I swore in and now I'm shipping today! Thank you read more

This recruiting station is by far most friendliest!!!! I have to admit though, the most hardest working person is SSG Mercado. Not to be biased, but he seriously tries harder than any recruiter. When I first met this man, it was unexpected yet needed. At first I was looking into the Air Force to become an airplane mechanic but was denied a ship out date due to braces at the time; either wait a year and half just to enlist and wait another 6 or so for a job, or remove braces in two days with gaps between teeth and just paid off $3000 for my treatment. Standing outside the door of the Air force recruiting office in the hallway, SSG Mercado asked me if I was Filipino and told me "if it doesn't work out over there, come see me." Little did I know those words change my future And how I saw myself in the military. 10 seconds later I find myself walking in the Army recruiting office with SSG Mercado and a few other sergeants inviting me to come in. SSG Mercado tells me his experiences in his military career and his travels to the Philippines. Within an hour and a half of small talk and contemplating, I return to the Air Force recruiting office, tell the Master Sergeant I'm switching to the Army, and begin with a few security questions. 1 hour of continuous paperwork and background information, I've done more progress than talking to the Air Force Master Sergeant called into his office 8 times. 3 days later I'm taken tk LA MEPS to take the ASVAB and hope to score higher than SSG Mercado's 72 when he took his test. A week later (July 4th) I'm called in to witness SSG Mercado and SFC Reed sealing my chances of getting the job I wanted which is 15N Avionics Mechanic. SSG Mercado tells me about his early stages of being in the Army and how working on physical fitness before entering Basic Training will benefit me in the long run. 1 week later I enlist at LA MEPS and begin my journey as a FutureSoldier in the DEP. Everyday I visited prestigious just to get my questions answered and always turned out to be a deep conversation of an hour or two. A few weeks pass by and I notice I need help on sit ups and running and SSG Mercado tells me to hit the gym and bulk up. Every morning I'd pump as much iron as I can and if I needed help, SSG Mercado would ways be there to spot me, help me on form, and push me well pass my limits. 2 months later I gained 20lbs. of muscle without realizing what I've gained. On PT every Wednesday I become familiar with PRT and the Soldiers Creed. SSG Mercado tells me I have a week to practice leading PRT and Recovery drills to the FutureSoldiers. I was told I did better than most first timers and continued to learn leadership because of SSG Mercado's idea for me to lead PRT. Never did I see myself being in front of a formation and being the one to lead PRT. As time gets closer to my ship out date, SSG Mercado tells me I have a PT test coming up and my score should increase in accordance to the results from weight lifting. I bust out 112 push ups, 72 sit ups and run a 15:12 2 Mile run and score 263 as opposed to 219. Confidence builds up as I ask SSG Mercado to run with me at Mile Square Park on Friday mornings. As run time increases, so does my dedication to becoming a soldier; that I'm not just a normal private. SSG Mercado's efforts to keep my motivation high and train me to widen my endurance has expanded within the 8 months I was a FutureSoldier. Before shipping out he tells me to do what I do best and represent Garden Grove. In my mind, I will be the best I can be and represent SSG Mercado as my mentor. The very first PT test I took in Basic Training, I was the highest score in my company, 2nd the next, the third for EOC. I would always be asked why I'm so small yet pack a punch whdn it comes to Pt tests. I always answer with "I had a recruiter that didn't just care about getting the job done, but strive with the best. He trained me to love the burn and continue to reach my goals." My perseverance lead me to stand out amongst my peers, be recognized for High PT 290, and promoted upon graduation to PFC. Now in AIT, I still call SSG Mercado if I have any questions and he still always responds in an impressive fashion. As I wasn't just an ordinary private in BCT, SSG Mercado isn't just your friendly neighborhood Army recruiter. He's definitely a soldier that strives to improve and be the best he can be; an elite. Bachelor's degree and working to Master's, prestigeous SSG, Field Artillery king, and now IT of his cyber recruiting company, there's no way this man will let you down..I'm living proof that he can literally make the best that he can out of you read more

Big thanks to Sergeant Jones for helping me through the entire process. Very informative and quick responses whenever you have a question or concern. Can't thank the team enough! Thank you guys! read more

I cant explain into words how amazing my experience here has been. I walked into the recruiting center with absolutely zero information about how things would work out but SSG Jones was always there to help me out with each and every detail. He guided me in the best possible way and was very fast with all the paperwork and his responses, being very friendly and professional at the same time.I could not have asked for a better recruiter to help me with the process. SSG Rojas was also very helpful throughout my visits to the center every time. I am honored and proud to have joined the Army under the supervision of SSG Jones. THANK YOU !! read more
