A typical day involved, physical training, and intense medical training. I was certified as an EMT Basic. The hardest part of the job was the physical demands on the body. The most enjoyable part was knowing I was part of something.

Fast paced and challenging in all areas of the position.
Command Sergeant Major (Former Employee), Johnston, IA – June 17, 2013
A typical day lasted about 10-12 hours, dealing with several departments supervised continuously. Effectively learned to multi-task dealing with an operations, marketing, automation, administrative, logistical and military entrance processing department. Problem solving was a dailey think as well as personnel accountability both for reward and disipline. – more... Working with other departments in Washington DC at the National Guard Bureau could get challenging once in a while when trying to get things accomplished at a state level. Motivating people and positive rewards...basically managing the recruiting force effective and achieving desired objectives and results was very satisfing. – less

BCT was the hardest but most personally rewarding part of my time with the military. I learned a variety of weapons, that I was stronger than I thought, and how to work with a group in a new way.

Long periods of time away from my family was difficult but the – more... support system at my Units were there to help. – less

U.S. Soldier (Former Employee), Christiansted, V.I. – June 14, 2013
Pros: health care
Cons: it was only once a month
A typical day at work consisted of class on one saturday of every month which kept the soldiers and potential soldiers up-to-date with the duties of a soldier. Then on one Sunday of the month we excecised and was tested on this to make sure we meet the requirements physically for a soldier. I learned the true meaning of integrity and courage. My Drill – more... Seargent was hard on all of us but only with the intent of making us a great soldier. My fellow battle buddies were great if one fell doing something we were all there to pick them up. The hardest part of the job for me was when I had to leave for training and leave my daughter behind. My most enjoyable moment was always hearing great job PFC Walcott. – less
