If you’re here, you’re probably in one of two boats: - You’re thinking about enlisting and don’t want to get played, or - You’re a parent who wants straight answers, not recruiter talk. Either way, you’re in the right place. I’m SFC Paugam, Infantry Soldier, former recruiter, 20 years in the Army. I built this community so you don’t have to figure it all out alone or hope you “get a good recruiter.” Start here ⬇️ 1. Read the About section so you know what you get in the free tier and Premium. 2. Go to the Welcome / Start Here area and watch the intro. 3. Check out the basic checklists and guides so you’re not walking in blind. How to use this group - Ask real questions. No question is “dumb” if it helps you make a better decision. - Be respectful. We’re here to help future Soldiers and families, not tear anyone down. - Don’t share anything that breaks OPSEC or your privacy. Your first mission 🫡 Drop a comment below with: 1. Are you a future Soldier or a parent? 2. Where you’re at in the process (just thinking about it, talked to a recruiter, got a ship date, etc.) 3. One thing you’re worried or confused about right now. I’ll be reading every intro and pointing you to the right resources so you can start your path with clarity instead of guesswork.
