Powers Army Recruiting Station has helped me to become what I always wanted to be... a soldier in the greatest nation in the world. It started with a phone call and I told my recruiter what I was interested in and he helped me find what I was looking for. I talked with an Air Force recruiter and he was nice and friendly to me. He wanted me to come into the station and talk and I told him I would like to do that. I also wanted to be a warrior and a member of a team which I didn't feel the Air force could provide, so I decided the Army was the only way to go. I took advantage of the Future Soldier Training Program that was available to me at Powers. The physical training and the classes really facilitated my transition into a soldier. When I arrived at my basic training I really was proud. I was one of few that actually had the opportunity to get promoted and prepare physically before hand. Without the FSTP at Powers I don't think that I would have had the motivation to ready myself for the rigors ahead. I think it is great that the army provides college scholarships and I plan on using my benefits to better my life. I enjoyed my experience at Powers and I would recommend it to anyone looking into the Military regardless if they are looking at the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines (USMC), or even the Coast Guard.
