You have successfully completed the intensive basic training program required of each individual in order to graduate to the ranks of the best trained, best equipped, and best informed soldier in the history of our Army. In accomplishing the transformation from civilian to soldier, you have attained your primary purpose that I outlined to you in your first day of basic combat training--to become a disciplined, motivated soldier who is qualified with his basic weapon, physically conditioned and drilled in the fundamentals of soldiering. As you move on to advanced individual training, or an assignment with an active Army unit, the officers, drill sergeants and men of your cadre are proud of you. You have proven yourself in the trials and pressures of basic training. You have developed your mind and body, and accepted the challenge of soldiers before you, you have demonstrated that your generation has all the determination and ability necessary. To each of you I extend my appreciation a est wishes r your continuing success in the years ahead. X, f ,Lf , QHZC4 Major General, USA Commanding
