“I joined the Army because of the benefits and the desire to try something new in my life.”
“I already had a general idea of how Basic Combat Training was going to look thanks to my recruiters preparing us for BCT.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was getting along with everyone. No matter how kind or hard working you are, there will still be people who will find something to judge you for.”
“Advice I would give to a new trainee is, "Workout and practice before coming here, sudden stress on your body will otherwise become a reason for injuries.”
“My MOS is 92Y - Unit Supply Specialist. I didn't know what MOS to choose, so my recruiter recommended this one.”
