“My grandmother influenced me to join the Army, along with going to military school prior to joining. I wanted to serve my country, do more with my life and influence my sisters to push themselves to do anything they set their minds to.”
“I knew Basic Combat Training would be hard, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. I imagined it to be more physical, but it was was more mental and a ‘mind over matter’ kind of training.”
“The mental aspect of BCT is the most challenging part overall. I can push myself on the physical part, but if you have a negative mindset you will have negative results.”
“My MOS is 92A - Automated Logistical Specialist. I chose this MOS because it will benefit me after I obtain my degree in Business Management.”
