Pfc. Housten Hayden, 24
Ellerbe, North Carolina
"I joined the Army because I wanted to better myself to become a better father, husband, and man."
"I though Basic Comb at Training would be nothing but physical training all hours of the day."
"The most challenging part of BCT was changing into the man I am now. The man I once was is not who I always wanted be. I struggled with sleeping in the cold rain and not being used to doing that."
"Advice I would give to someone planning to start BCT is to have self-discipline and respect. Carry yourself well and always push yourself further in every way possible."
"My MOS is 15M - MQ-1 (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Repairer. I chose this MOS because it will be a good job to do outside of the military."
