    Hey Jaydon, that is a really good question. I think the honest answer is, you will never know what kind of soldier you will be until you try.


    Great soldiers come in so many shapes and sizes it is hard to say what specific things make them great, and so much of what makes them great is given to them by the army after they join; the training, the opportunities and so on. But certainly the Values and Standards are a great place to start. With selfless commitment, loyalty, integrity, respect for others, discipline and courage you will go far.
