Forked River, New Jersey
“My parents and other Family members served in the military. Their service and my desire for the discipline and experience influenced me to join the Army.”
“I thought Basic Combat Training would be a constant mental and physical challenge every day.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was keeping my motivation after being mentally and physically exhausted.”
“Advice I would give to someone planning to join the Army is to not let other trainees influence your mood or mindset and to keep your goals in mind.”
“My MOS is 15D - Aircraft Powertrain Repairer. I chose this MOS because I wanted a job that is exciting and is hard to come by outside of the military. I also like to work with my hands.
