“My passion and zeal to help people is what influenced me to join the Army.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be challenging. The reason is because of all the shows and movies I’d watch that would pertain to military content. They portrayed it as tough and hard.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was land navigation. As a Soldier, I found I had difficulty in locating the different coordinates on the map, but eventually got the concept.“
“The advice I would give someone going through BCT is to enjoy and embrace the process. There will be moments when it’s going to be terrible, but if you stay strong and go through the process, you will succeed.”
“My MOS is 56M - Religious Affairs Specialist because I went to college for ministry leadership and I love to connect with people spiritually.”
