"An old friend from my first job influenced me to join the Army."
"I imagined Basic Combat Training would be minimal rest, challenging and full of discipline."
"The most challenging part of BCT was not being in touch with loved ones and dealing with stubborn battle buddies."
"Advice I would give someone planning to start BCT would be just do it. Don't slack off in the slightest. Be the best version of yourself."
"My MOS is 68W - Combat Medic Specialist. I chose this MOS to help people."
