FORT BENNING, Ga. – Young adults who have declared

FORT BENNING, Ga. – Young adults who have declared their intention of joining the U.S. Army see a Bradley Fighting Vehicle up close at Fort Benning Oct. 26 during a visit set up to give them a first-hand look at Army basic training and Army life. More than 100 of them made the visit, which was organized by the U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion-Atlanta in partnership with Fort Benning’s 1st Squadron, 16th Cavalry Regiment, part of Fort Benning’s Maneuver Center of Excellence. The group, which included high school and college students among others of military age, were what the Army calls Future Soldiers, those who have enrolled in the Army’s Delayed Entry Program. Future Soldiers are those who have met with Army recruiters and have declared their intent to enter service. They’re then allowed to continue school or other activities for a period of up to one year, after which they would enter training. (U.S. Army photo by Patrick A.
