The First Day Of US Army Basic Training
Article #6 First Day of Basic Training At Fort Knox, Kentucky The summer of 2006 was when I went to Basic Training to join the United States Army and transition from civilian to becoming a soldier. My first day of basic training was having all my issued uniform and fitting all of it in my two duffle bags. So I had one duffle bag on my back and one in the front. It wasn't like any other while waiting for training to start. Everyone was anxious, it didn't matter if you had experience, young, old, we were all considered recruits, and were treated the same by the Drill Sergeants.

The Day I Left For US Army Basic Training
Article #5 The Day I Left For US Army Basic Training In this is article, I will talk about the day I left for Basic Training and the few days I was in Basic prior to actually getting to my actual Company which was D 1/46 At Fort Knox, Kentucky. I still remember when I left, my recruiter came to pick me up at my house, I said my good-byes to my family. As, my recruiter drove off, I was anxious and nervous as a 18 year old, who never really done anything in life. I knew, I had to join he military to serve my country and hopefully reach my goals in life. It was the right decision because I was able to get out after 4 years, work in Law Enforcement, and finish my college degree. To have my short military career under my belt, I was able to apply what I have learned in the military into my civilian life and law enforcement career. To this day, I have no to regrets.

Benefits Of Joining The U.S. Military
Article #4 Benefits Of The United States Military In this article I will talk about the many benefits the United States Military has to offer. I served in the U.S. Army for 4 years but all the branches of the military has similar benefits. The number one reason why I joined the military was because Of the GI Bill which either pays for your college degree or pays for your debt. The only way to get it once you join the military is to pay into it for the first 12 months of your military career which is one $100 dollars a month. There are many types of GI Bill depending on what year you served. When, I got out, I was under 9-11 GI Bill, which is transferable to your spouse after being active for 6 years in the service. You are also able to transfer your benefits to your children, if you don't want to go to school and have your children benefit from it so that they may get their college degree. Now, They have the Forever GI Bill, go to the VA website for more info.

To Do List Before Leaving For US Army Boot Camp / Basic Training
Article #3 In this article, I will compile a list of things that should be done before leaving for basic training. I will add things to the list that should benefit both a young 18 year old person straight out of high school to someone who is in their late 20's that's married and has children. The list will either help you out or it doesn't. I know each person is different in their seasons of life but I know a lot of people joined the military straight out of high school as enlisted. That is to all the branch of the military not just the United States Army.

What Questions To Ask A US ARMY RECRUITER Before Joining The US Army - "Army Strong"
Article #2 There are many young people who are just in high school who are thinking about joining the military. This article is for you or someone who is thinking of talking to a US Army Recruiter, who has many questions. I will give you some questions to ask your recruiter because recruiters will not give you advice unless you ask. Their main objective is to get you through the door and raise your right hand and ship you to basic training. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of recruiters out there that are willing to help and answer any questions even give you advice. But, remember they recruit a lot of people especially if they are a recruiter in the big city like New York City or Dallas, Texas. They will definitely get you through the door quick, as long as you sign those dotted lines.
