My last name is Taylor as well I hope to be in the same situation as well with being able to be called soldier after my basic training. It starts in January and I’m excited and very eager to be trained to become a soldier and push myself as much as possible.

Becoming a soldier made me realize there isn’t much of a difference, or at least it doesn’t feel like there is to me.
Especially when you’ve served for a few years and the accomplishment of basic training loses its value when all of your peers have already done the same thing.
“Oh you passed basic training? Congratulations. You’ve done the bare minimum.”

Basic is just the beginning. The army is not fun. In basic or otherwise.

Sometimes it’s fun though.
