So we are coming to the end of our time here at FT Knox and we will soon be out on the road. The training here has been helpful and the other Drill Sergeants in the program are very knowledgeable and professional. My first trip will take me to the Cleveland Air show. I can't wait to get out there and interact with the rest of the recruiters and exhibitor workers.

Personally, my...read more

I am to interact with my athlete as well as show him some of the Army values such as loyalty, duty and selfless service. My athlete is #12, Shakim Phillips from DePaul Catholic High School in Wayne, NJ. He is a wide receiver and a great kid.

I have done quite a bit of flying over the past six years and have to admit that I was not eager to begin my air travel to San Antonio today. However, I sheepishly confess that my flying experience today was...read more
