“I’m a prior service Navy Corpsman and wanted to reenlist to continue my career and expand my skill set.”
“I imagined Basic Combat Training would be similar to previous trainings I’ve done and it helped to remind me of and refine my skills.”
“The most challenging part of BCT is having a large group of people you don’t know and needing to build trust and teamwork with everyone. ”
“Advice I would give a new trainee is don’t stress about your abilities at the start, because you will realize all of the improvements you’ve made at the end.”
“My MOS is 89D - Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist. I chose to become an 89D because I wanted to challenge myself and broaden my abilities.”
