"My friends and Family influenced me to join the Army."

"I imagined Basic Combat Training to be a lot of hard work. Hearing stories and seeing how hard Soldiers work made me realize that."

"The most challenging part of BCT was working with people form around the United States and the world. Language barriers and different backgrounds made it difficult, but not impossible to come together as a team."

"I would tell a new trainee to get out of their comfort zone and volunteer / attempt every task and opportunity put in front of them."

"My MOS is 68W - Combat Medic Specialist. I chose to become a combat medic because I want to be able to be there as a helpful hand on what could be a Soldier's worst day."
