The Army runs on paperwork. Don’t ever throw away any paperwork you receive while in the Army. It will be that one piece of paper that will enable you to secure a VA home loan, get money for school, or a degree of disability from the VA. My dad kept everything for decades after he retired from 30 years in-service.

[@rioluknight7784]

I am in the army and 100% agree

[@lifeofjorjorjorden4214]

True that paperwork proof is key

[@amirmontgomery1155]

This will very much come in handy, thank you for another great video, Battley.

[@tyw2675]

Fort Drum was my first duty station. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I do now. Fort Hood was my second station, which I was excited about because I'm from Texas, but it wasn't that great in hindsight. Drum is beautiful.

[@AaronbTV]

Drum isn’t that bad I agree

[@MrGeez513]

Ft. Hood was definitely not the best place in my opinion for the first duty station. Met great people in my unit, but the leadership wasn't the greatest. My unit had a amazing CSM who redeemed my faith until I ETSd. Wish I'd have gone somewhere else first however 💯

[@SuperDogo1985]

Hey man! I saw a lot of your videos prior joining. It’s been over a year since I’m at FT Hood. Not a bad base at all!

I"ve already been in for almost three years (Guard) but, I'm looking to try and transfer to Active Duty. Given my MOS (74D), I'm hoping to go OCONUS to Korea where a lot of my AIT buddies are currently at. I know the chance is probably slim, but everyone I've talked to who has been stationed there have loved it.

In 1996, I transferred from National Guard into Active Duty it was the best decision I ever made. #GoArmy🎉
