“I joined the Army because I wanted to push myself to be better than my peers and to improve myself mentally and physically.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be more physically intense and I thought we would dive more in depth into tactics.”
The most challenging part of BCT was “leading peers. Many of my peers did not have my level of motivation and trying to push others to get better was the most difficult part of BCT.”
Some good advice to those about to ship out to BCT is to “show up in shape. It allows you to focus on the mental side and makes the experience easier.”
My MOS is “09S-Commissioned Officer Candidate. I did some ROTC in college and still aspired to be an officer after college.”
