Hop off the bus at basic training, with your dreams and a pair of boots…

The glare of the headlights hit the drill sergeant waiting in the shadows and the reality sets in. From midnight gear issue to the administrative forms, the first night is the hardest.

@ArmyROTC cadets swapped notebooks for a compass to execute their Fall FTX.

Leadership isn’t learned in a classroom; it is forged in the dirt. These cadets are being #FieldTested to build the character needed to lead Warfighters in the @USArmy.

Staff Sgt. Victoria Ortiz set a goal and crushed it!

She made history as the first recruiter to complete 100 enlistment contracts in a single year, rising from 83 in her first year.

For this mother of 6, it’s not about numbers, she wants them to remember that she cared.

You know what they say, it’s a small Army! Seven years ago, Staff Sgt. Samuel Yoo was Warrant Officer 1 Ingalls’ squad leader, now, she has de-hatted him as he completed his tour as a drill sergeant.

This is what real mentorship looks like!
