Army

June 2019 • Camp Williams, UT

What I liked

I loved the location of the training, and the materials that were being taught. I came out of it knowing more about my leadership style and how to improve it than I ever have.

What I wish was different

I only wish that the course work was more diversified. They changed the course requirements before my class, and it was mostly writing papers all day and delivering briefings. Although it was tedious and seemed monotonous at times, it still helped tremendously.

Advice

If you have the chance to join the Army or any other military branches take it. It is a very humbling experience and you will learn from it every day. I believe it has a lot to do with shaping me into the person I am today, and I am very grateful for that.
