“I have many Family members who have had great experiences in the Army. They said the Army has changed them and their lives for the better.”

“I imagined Basic Combat Training to be very strict and hard, but with the help of my drill sergeants and peers, BCT has been a very fun and humbling experience.”

“The most challenging part of BCT was not knowing how much and how far I could push myself. BCT really has shown me what I am capable of and it doesn’t end here.”

Advice I would give to someone planning to start BCT is to “be at the right place at the right time. Be alert, stay motivated and just do the right thing.“

“My MOS is 89A - Ammunition Stock Control and Accounting Specialist. I chose this because (Soldiers) who are 89As said its very flexible and fun.”
