The first thing we would like to do is introduce you to the Soldiers Creed and the Army Values.


Soldiers Creed
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army
Values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close
combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.



Army Values

INTRODUCTION TO AFTB

Basic training for Soldiers is a ten week process that takes civilians and
turns them into a Soldiers, its a very disciplined process because
Soldiers are asked to do a job that civilians will never be asked to do.

The Army lifestyle is very rewarding but can also be demanding which
is why weve developed this FACEBOOK page. It is our hope to
prepare you for the adventure of a lifetime.

Remember THIS IS Basic Training for New Army Families. This is a
ten week process to take civilian families and turn them in to Army
Families. It will be a disciplined process. There will be rules and you
must follow the rules. When you finish Basic Training for Families you
will have the knowledge you need to be a resourceful and resilient
Army Family.
INTRODUCTION TO AFTB
LESSONS
It is imperative that you have the information you need to navigate the Army
system. Your soldier will be focused on the Army mission. Remember the
Soldiers Creed? I will always place the mission first. This is your new reality.
Your Soldier will not have time to hold your hand and walk you through every
little difficulty you face. He/She has a mission and you have a mission. Your
mission is to be resourceful and have the ability to overcome challenges on
your own.


That is what Basic Training for Families is going to do for you. We will not hold
your hand, but we will provide you the information you need to get through
basic training and to get through your Army career. We suggest that you get a
three ring binder, start a resource book (MY ARMY LIFE BINDER), and get
organized. Keep this book with you. You will use it throughout your career.
