"I joined the Army to help save the lives of those who serve. My grandfather and all those who fought before me are the major driving force in my enlistment."
"I had imagined Basic Combat Training to be challenging in ways I had not been previously challenged. I imagined comradery amongst my squad and platoon."
"The most challenging part of BCT was learning the strengths and weaknesses of my platoon. As a leader, you also have to know when to follow and allow your team to excel in their strengths and grow in their weaknesses."
"My advice to someone joining the Army would be to give 100% every day even if you are tired, even if someone says you're doing too much. Be the loudest. Before BCT absorb, prepare and learn as much information from good sources as possible."
"My MOS is 68W - Combat Medic Specialist. I chose this MOS because with my previous medical background, I will be an asset to the Army. I look forward to being a vital part in caring for the health and lives of my sisters and brothers in arms."
