“Personal growth motivated me to join and be part of the Army. I wanted to change my lifestyle to ensure the well-being of my future generations.”

“The purpose of Basic Combat Training is to create the best Soldiers to defend an entire nation. I imagined BCT was going to be a lot of strength training, but thanks to my effort and dedication, I got the most out of the process.”

“The most difficult part of BCT was understanding the value of teamwork and the importance of being resilient at all times.”

“My MOS is 25U - Signal Support Systems Specialist. I chose this job because one of the most important things in the Army is communication and I understand I can save lives with this job.”
