Army ROTC cadets swapped notebooks for a compass to execute their Fall Field Training Exercises (FTX).

The FTX is where theory meets reality, from freshman cadets learning the basics of survival to seniors commanding full tactical platoons, these multi-day, high-stress operations are designed to forge leaders under pressure.

Leadership isn’t learned in a classroom; it is forged in the dirt by being . These cadets are building character needed to lead Warfighters in the U.S. Army.

Behind every U.S. Army patch, there is a journey that starts at Basic Combat Training.

The path from to graduation is a challenging process, built step-by-step:
◾The Reception Battalion: Recruits in-process, receive their gear, and mentally prepare for the challenges ahead of “Week Zero.”
◾ Basic Combat Training: Ten weeks designed to build physical endurance, tactical proficiency, and mental toughness.

Staff Sgt. Victoria Ortiz set a goal for herself and crushed it! 🏆

She has accomplished what no other recruiter has done before, completing 100 enlistment contracts in a fiscal year. During her first year as a recruiter, she completed 83 contracts, and at the start of the next fiscal year, she set her sights on 100.

For Ortiz, a dedicated wife, mother of six, and mentor, this milestone was never about the number. It was about the people.

Behind her historic achievement are long hours, late nights, sacrifices from her family and an unwavering commitment to see her applicants win.

What does she want those 100 individuals to remember about her? “That I cared.”

“I can say with absolute certainty that I am a product of his leadership,” Warrant Officer Jenna Ingalls said.

Nothing defines the military experience more than leaders who invest in their Soldiers. Seven years after serving together in the 82nd Airborne Division, Ingalls had the privilege of de-hatting her first squad leader, Staff Sgt. Sameul Yoo, as he completed his tour as a drill sergeant.

Congratulations on completing your tour, molding the next generation of Soldiers, and thank you for always exhibiting exemplary service to all your Soldiers. Moments like this prove that mentorship lasts a lifetime.
