Hey! I've been considering the military as an option after high school. Recently, I heard about Fort Jackson, but I'm not sure which branch it pertains to. Can someone fill me in please?
Fort Jackson is a major U.S. military installation associated with the United States Army. It's actually the largest and one of the most active Initial Entry Training Centers in the U.S. Army. Located in Columbia, South Carolina, it trains 50% of all soldiers and more than 60% of women who enter the Army each year. In addition to being a main site for Basic Combat Training, Fort Jackson also provides soldier-in-transition support, Army Chaplaincy training, and it even hosts other military and partner organizations. Remember, regardless of branch, serving in the military requires commitment and dedication, so be sure to make a well-informed decision.
