“My teachers and my parents pushed me to follow my aspirations using the Army as a pathway.”
“I thought Basic Combat Training would be constant, intense workouts and more field exercises. It was more repetitive than I imagined. ”
“The most challenging part of BCT was being in a new environment with all new people trying to work together and function at a high level, while being away from my Family.”
“Advice I would give to someone coming to BCT soon is, 'Run before you get here. Be in the right place, in the right uniform, at the right time and do what you're told quietly.'”
“My MOS is 13B - Cannon Crewmember and I chose this MOS because I like blowing things up and I plan on going to a different branch after I finish Reserve Officer Training Corps.”
