What influenced me to join the Army is “I spent 12 years as a line corpsman (medic) attached to the Marine Corps infantry and I wanted to continue and expand my operational reach.”
“I thought Basic Combat Training would be a pretty straight forward basic introduction to what the Army expects of you.”
“The most challenging part of BCT was finding the line between prior service and trainee to help the younger ones grow, while still helping/leading them.”
”Advice I would give someone planning to start BCT is “Do what you’re told. No more, no less. If you choose to do more, move forward with confidence.”
“My MOS is 11B - Infantryman. Serving as a corpsman with the Marine infantry, it felt like a logical progression to improve upon.”
