Armor veteran Jay Tenison, who is battling Stage IV Stomach Cancer, is here to fire his final shot from an Abrams Main Battle Tank. Jay’s last wish was to feel the “thunder of doom” from a tank one last time, and our Soldiers are making it happen. @TRADOC @USArmy @curtisbuzzard

How’s this for some #FridayMotivation? History was made today as we celebrated the graduation of the 1st group of trainees to complete the 22-week OSUT Transformation. These changes to OSUT will increase the readiness, lethality and proficiency of the Infantry @USArmy Soldier.
