Basic Training United States Army

Basic Training United States Army

If you have ever put on a U.S. Military uniform or even just a plain old shirt with the purpose to help someone you are a hero. September 11th, 1991 was my first day in basic training or boot camp. Drill Sargent Dooley was our main drill sergeant. The lovely Fort Jackson, South Carolina Tank Hill. The incredibly strong World War II  wooden barracks that were still standing on Tank Hill.  Day one started out hot and then winter came within weeks.  Basic training  was a day by day challenge. We were trained by great men . The experience was something that made me  a better man. You learn what a team can do as opposed to what an individual can do. Victory started at Tank Hill Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
