I been in a few and each have had some good takeaways, some more than others. I think its good to serve in various units as it expands a Soldiers understanding of “the big picture,” making then a better asset to the Army. Overall, JSOC was the best organization I ever worked with, what about you?

CPT (Join to see) hands down my DRILL SERGEANT UNIT: C-2/47TH IN. AWESOME READ/SHARE!
Dec 1989 - Mar 1990
Basic Trainee
C 3-22 FA, Basic Combat Training | Fort Sill, OK
Recruit: Conducted Basic Combat Training- getting a kick in the whole rear end.
A CIVILAN becomes a SOLDIER. Who knew 25 years and 3 days later, I would go to 6 combat deployments, serve in some of the finest units the United States Army could bestow on a Soldier. Most Ironically, Becoming a DRILL SERGEANT IN DECEMBER 2005 and serving at Sandhill, Fort Benning GA; with C/2-47 IN "Charlie Rock, Panther Battalion". I owe it all to my Drill Sergeants and a lot more gratitude. Thanks for training me to fight, win and survive and what the word BATTLE BUDDY MEANS. Yea, didn't know then, but boyee did they watch my 6 and cover me while I moved (the U.S. Soldier).

So, I'm right down the road from 3ACR, and hear nothing but good things about that unit. I'm currently with 2ABCT, Fort Hood.

I was in 3d ACR when it was at Fort Bliss 1994-1995, right before it moved to Fort Carson. At that time, it had some issues. I am glad to hear it got better.
