Pvt. Shea Phaneuf, 20
Bradenton, Florida
I was influenced to enlist by “my step-father, who was in 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and I’ll be the 6th generation of my Family to serve.”
"I expected Basic Combat Training to be exactly as it is."
“The most challenging part of Basic Combat Training was learning to take punishment for other peoples’ mistakes.”
“Advice I would give to someone planning to join is to be prepared to integrate with a mix of people.”
“My MOS is 15U - CH-47 Helicopter Repairer. I chose this MOS to be a mechanic for 160th SOAR as well as to use it to go to flight school later in my career.”
