“The person that influenced me to join the Army was my granddaddy. Although he probably wanted me to attend college, I knew that he would be more proud to know I’m doing big things.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training to be full of challenging events and full of obstacle courses. In my experience, it was plenty of challenges that I fought through.”
“The most physically challenging part of BCT was surprisingly the gas chamber, but every day was a mental game. Working with others can get hard at times with so many different emotions and dealing with my own.”
“My MOS is 56M - Religious Affairs Specialist. I didn’t choose this MOS, it chose me. I am glad it did, because this MOS will give me the opportunity to open up and communicate better with others and also give guidance.”
