“My sister influenced me to join the Army. I wanted to be someone she could look up to and set an example for her.”

“I imagined Basic Combat Training to be like adult obstacle courses every day. I thought we would climb up and down walls and ropes every day, but we work on our mental strength just as much as our physical.” 

“The advice I would give to someone planning to start BCT is to never be late and work with your battle buddies, not against. You will rely on your battle buddies more than you think.”

“My MOS is 25H - Network and Communication System Specialist. I chose this MOS because I wanted to learn more about computers and how they work.”
