"I was influenced to join the Army by a JROTC instructor in high school, First Sergeant Franklin Brown. The example he sets is what I hope I can achieve one day in the Army. He is the epitome of Army leadership and a role model to countless students."
" I imagined that Basic Combat Training would be much more challenging and disciplined. I feel that the Army is shifting training to focus more on personal development and growth, which is good."
"The most challenging part of BCT was learning to cooperate with many different people from a wide variety of backgrounds."
"I would advise any future trainees to focus on taking training very seriously and remember to have fun in the process."
"My MOS is 42R - Musician. I am glad that the Army has given me the opportunity to serve the people, while also receiving professional development and experience in a field I am passionate about."
