My question is what will be your guidance on how to lead in BCT? just in case we get in to the Drill Sergeant Radar. what will be you recommendations. Also, there is no much information about 88H Cargo specialist, Logistics are my core! Do you have any information about this MOS? What will be the steps to follow to start looking the Officer path?. Thanks brother and keep doing what you do, there is a lot of information out there to start feeling the Army Life for future Soldiers HOOAH!
