Pvt. Logan Thomas, 20 Aledo, Texas "I was influenced to join the Army because I wanted to help Soldiers. " "I imagined Basic Combat Training to be very intense. I expected the workout and training to be harder than what they were." "The most challenging part of BCT was overcoming fears that I had previously. For example, overcoming my fear of heights at Victory Tower." "The advice I would give someone planning to start BCT would be stay professional and be physically fit." "My MOS is 68 - Combat Medic Specialist. I chose this MOS because I wanted to help Soldiers."
