US Army Cadet Command

Cadet

June - July 2019 • Fort Knox, KY

What I liked

The summer job was called advanced camp and it was a unique experience. The activities involved were challenging and encouraged me to push myself when faced with tough decisions. The days were long, but the people you wouldn’t have ever met are the most incredible experience than any other summer job.

What I wish was different

Some days were 20-21hrs long and this was very draining. Only 9 out of 37 days had nights where we slept less than 6hrs. Another thing is there was a lot of down time waiting for the next activity.

Advice

Stay focused and driven on doing the best you can. Don’t let adversity slow you down.

ROTC Cadet

What I liked

It was fun to meet cadets from other schools. I got to travel over seas for free, while getting paid.

What I wish was different

NOTHING! It was an amazing experience.

Advice

It was mind blowing, seeing how 2 societies are so different. It was an amazing experience being able to be in a Military environment and work with locals, and their military.
