“I became interested in joining the Army when Russia invaded Ukraine. Seeing them fight off an illegal invasion by a bigger, stronger power inspired me to dedicate part of my life to defending the free world by serving in my own country’s armed forces.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be a challenging experience where I got to meet a diverse array of people and learn many new life lessons. My experience did not disappoint.”
“Throwing live grenades was the most mentally challenging part of BCT. I had no prior experience handling live explosives and they were much more powerful than I expected.”
“My MOS is 09S - Commissioned Officer Candidate. I chose this MOS because I want to help lead the next generation of America’s Soldiers.”
