    Pvt. Jhared Collins spent the past two years attempting to join the @USArmy. He was able to meet the physical requirement, but, after multiple attempts at the ASVAB, his score was in the low 30s, making him eligible to participate in the Future Soldier Prep Course.

    After three weeks in the program, he achieved a passing score and entered Basic Combat Training. Collins graduated from BCT and is now completing his Advanced Individual Training as a fire control specialist!

    “I’m proud to be a part of the 68-whiskey family,” Elizabeth Marks, @USArmy paralympic swimmer, said. “I think combat medics are a special breed; a very colorful group of people. And they have been some of my greatest supporters along my career.”

    Women continue to trail blaze paths never before taken! In 2015 CPT Emily Speziale was one of the first females to enter into a once male-only career branch - the mighty "King of Battle,” field artillery. #InternationalWomensDay #WHM #USAREC

    In January 2023, Collins went to the FSPC to participate in the Academic Skills Development Program. While getting paid, he worked with instructors and teachers to improve his arithmetic reasoning, word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, and mathematics.
