“My high school Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps Instructor, First Sergeant Baumer, influenced me to join the Army.”
“I thought there would be a lot more physical training and less time on the range in Basic Combat Training. I expected worse, but I’m grateful for my experience.”
“The most difficult part of BCT was working and accomplishing tasks with people I’ve never met. We all came from different areas and grew up with different values, butting heads was inevitable. Luckily, we were able to come together, which made it worth it.”
“My MOS is 25H - Network Communication Systems Specialist. I chose this MOS because wireless networks and all things regarding signal systems really interests me.”
