“My Family influenced me to join the Army along with my plan to continue my education.”

“I imagined the food to be worse and the drill sergeants to be meaner in Basic Combat Training. I also thought it would be more physically difficult.”

“The most challenging part of BCT for me was keeping my mindset straight. Many times I questioned if this was the path for me.”

“Advice I would give to someone planning to start BCT is to keep pushing through. It will be over before you know it and it will feel very rewarding when you’re at the finish line.”

“My MOS is 68W - Health Care Specialist. I chose this MOS to help while I pursue my nursing career.”
