“Family legacy is a major influence on my decision to join the Army. Many of my Family members have served in the military before me and I aspire to be a part of something greater than myself.”

“I imagined Basic Combat Training to be challenging. I also expected a lot of pressure to be disciplined.”

“Being a squad leader was the most challenging part of BCT, because my squad looked to me for guidance, help and motivation.”
