They take it as their mission to convert anyone they speak with to the positive effects of better fitness and a life in the Army. If we could get today's soldiers to look at the military the way I saw it, it would motivate them to want to stay 20 years. Protect and serve. Be proud, serving your country. That's the way I saw it.
Soldiers are the only year-round athletes.
To be honest, we don't have any off-season. Anytime you're told to take a PT test, you have to be able to do it. Anytime you're told to jump over that wall, you have to be able to do it. We're year-round soldiers, I mean athletes.
