Future soldiers

(From left to right) William Bangert of Greenfield, Brandon Jones of Jacksonville, Jordan Chapman of Roodhouse and Tyler Rabideau of Jacksonville share a laugh while holding up Jordon Dobrovolny of Jacksonville after a game of flickerball one evening during future soldier training across from the American Legion in Jacksonville. The group of soldiers meet once a week as part of the U.S. Army Jacksonville Recruiting Station's Future Soldiers Training Program. Team Leader Sgt. Daniel Baldrick said the program is designed to teach soldiers about Army values, history, rank structures, movement drills, etc., which they will need to know in their future careers. The classes are also used to help soldiers stay motivated and connected with one another before each heads off to his or her basic training.
