Spc. Sasha Rivera, 26
Miami
"I have always been inspired by those in uniform and I am proud to now be a part of those in uniform, especially as a Latina. I am the first to enlist in my Family."
"I imagined Basic Combat Training would be one of the worst experiences I ever went through. Although, I did encounter many challenges bot physically and mentally, it was not impossible and I am proud and honored to be a part of the Army."
"The ruck marches were definitely the most challenging part of BCT for me. Along with the blisters on my feet, back pain and mental challenges I struggled with, I made sure to never give up and always give my 110%."
"Nothing lasts forever. There will be days that are harder than others, but after those days are over you feel so much stronger. Keep your head up high and remember anything is possible."
"My MOS is 92Y - Unit Supply Specialist."
