Transformation of the United States Army

John came to visit us one day and he told me he was joining the Army. He went off to complete basic training, and advance individual training to become a 12B. Once his training was done and he was stationed at his first unit he came to visit me again. From that day forward I knew I wanted to join the Army and follow in his footsteps. So when I turned eighteen I did exactly that I joined the Army and became a 12N. I was in the army for about two years when I went on my first deployment to Iraq.…

What is America’s gift to my generation? What does this mean to you? To me, this means what my generation has that others didn’t.

On 1 September 1939, the day that Germany's attack on Poland signaled the beginning of World War II, the U.S. Army ranked approximately seventeenth in effectiveness among the armies of the world, just behind that of Romania.
