“Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps opened my eyes to the military as a career option. I decided to join the Army to better myself and my future due to my past mistakes and become a better influence for my younger sister.”
“I never really ‘imagined’ how Basic Combat Training would be.”
“Advice I would give someone planning to start BCT is don’t go in expecting to still act like an individual. You are now part of a bigger picture. Listen to orders, follow them, and consider everyone around you at times.”
“My MOS is 92R - Parachute Rigger. I chose this because I wanted something that would be mentally and physically challenging and also to be able to have fun. I didn’t join for money, I joined for a challenge and for the experience.“
