I was influenced to join by “my grandfather, as well as the opportunity to better myself as a person and to give back to my country.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be strenuous and difficult because I had only heard stories from Family and friends.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was staying mentally motivated during ruck marches because the duration the weight would take a toll on my body.”
“I would advise those about to start BCT to stay motivated and take pride in completing each event.”
My MOS is “09R-Cadet, but I chose 13B Field Artillery for the National Guard while I am in college. I chose 13B because my friend from high school chose that and he has only told me good things.”
