Experiences at United States Army

You do not get hired into the United States Army. You search within yourself to decide whether or not it is something you really want to do and what you will gain and/or accomplish. If you are strong-minded, then the ARMY is the way to go.

The most challenging part of my job was that I was away from my family for long periods of time. Each day to me was a challenge because I was learning something new. The United States Army made me a stronger, wiser, and disciplined individual and I am grateful for that.

There isn't a secret to getting hired with the military. As long as you are willing to serve your country, and fight for what is right, you will get hired.

The most interesting project i worked on in the United States Army was a Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation Assessment (DPMA) Mission in response to the catastrophic tsunami events in Indonesia, Thailand and surrounding countries. Taking a hard look at coastal infrastructure in relation to disaster areas, we analyzed potential "Flashpoint" areas that were vulnerable to increased erosion and degradation. Assessing the countries ability to respond to such disasters was another key element of the analysis performed. Proximities of the nearest hospitals with numbers of beds available, as well as avenues of approach best suited for humanitarian shipments during a crisis were all evaluated and presented in comprehensive reports and interactive map graphics....

One needs to have great leadership and management skills to be an Officer in the United States Army. You also need to be very person oriented, since you command soldiers from all walks of life. You need to be very flexible and able to multi-task under extreme pressure in stressful situations.

There was no SECRET! Just went to the MEPS STATION and signed up.

The secret to getting hired in the United States Army is that you must be determine to succeed.

You have to be a strong mind person with a purpose in life.

There really is no secret to getting in the Army. Be in good shape, a motivated person, and someone who is willing to work hard. You have to care about other people more than yourself and be willing to sacrifice your life for your country which I feel is one of the biggest honors their is. I would do it all again...
