Second Lieutenant Nicholas Talbot

I'm Second Lieutenant Nicholas Talbot with the United States Army Reserve. I've been in for a little over a year.

It's very physically intense. After going through a pretty extensive medical exam to even get into the military, going to basic training, it's a lot like what most people think it is. Like boot camp? Yeah, it's boot camp.

They're my family and they have my back. At the end of the day, all anybody cares about is whether I can perform my job when I have that uniform on.

I was named an honor graduate at basic training, so I would say, you know, at least someone out there agrees that I have some honor and some discipline in me.

Yeah, so I was at Fort Sill, Oklahoma for basic training. It was about 120 degrees Fahrenheit most days.

America is my home. This is my country. This is, you know, where I want to be and who I want to fight for. I'm willing to serve. I'm able to serve and I can get the job done.
