Learn…Grow…Lead

Level I – “Learn” Army
Transitioning from the civilian community to the Army is an important step and we all enter this Army life with some concerns:

• Can I adjust to the new environment?

• How will my life change and how will I adjust?

• Will I meet others who feel like I do?

• What are my benefits?

• Where can I find the resources and services that I need?

Living within the Army culture can be as challenging as it is rewarding.  AFTB will help you learn how to translate the military lingo, develop realistic expectations, learn about your benefits, and access the services available to you as a member of the Army Family.

Feeling comfortable in your military environment empowers you and enables you to accomplish personal goals.  Learning about the Army leads to that level of comfort.

AFTB can help you “Learn” Army…meet others who know exactly how you feel…and help find your comfort zone…but…YOU have to take the first step!
