My name is Anthony Gibbs there are many things I can talk about that I enjoy, but the one thing I’m most proud of and enjoy the most is being a soldier of the U.S. Army. I can recall my days in basic training on arrival we had to go through the torture process called reception it was the worse thing ever. You went through tons of medical and paper work you had to sign off on. We had to wait an entire week that felt like time was standing still. We eventually got to are new unit Charlie 31st were we experienced the legendary shark attack. These sharks were called drill SGT’s they had the most vicious attitudes that would make you question what have you got yourself in to. We had big green bags on are backs and in front of us full of stuff we were allowed to have. We pulled up in front of the building when the drill SGT’s rushed the bus screaming at us to get off, I never been so scared in my life, I don’t think any of us was prepared even though we had met people at recep about it and another thing Expericing that rush of fear personally. It was more frightening than the story’s told to us, they had us surrounded making us run as fast as we could carrying those heavy bags to the area they wanted us at. After we had got there I was assigned to 1st platoon Sidewinders, the first two weeks at fort Leonard Wood was terrible, the weather was awful and the heat made people pass out or have nose bleeds I was one of those nose bleed people. Everyone wanted to quit and many did. We had started with 300 recruits and by graduation we had only 140 that graduated through training. I don’t want to scare people in never joining, basic training teaches you how to be brave and have respect for others if you thought you were the biggest baddest guy where you came from think again those drill SGT’s will show you otherwise those first two weeks they broke us and then reshaped us into what they wanted us to be, honorable 12 bravos a mos proud and strong even though there is few in are field.
