“I joined the Army to serve my country, provide my future self with financial stability and set an example for my younger Family members.”
“Before joining, I imagined Basic Combat Training to be like a shark tank. Drill sergeants swarming you anytime you messed up and drill sergeants around 24/7.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was the mental toughness. Your mind gets in the way of your body’s ability to complete many tasks.”
“Advice I would give to someone planning to start BCT would be to remember your ‘why.’ Remember why you decided to join the Army and use that as your motivation.”
“My MOS is 42A – Human Resources Specialist. I chose this MOS because it was something familiar and I didn’t know a lot about the other options.”
