Starting Strong is an entertaining and informative TV Program that teaches the viewer about Americas Army. The premise is a civilian gets to experience an MOS or Military Occupational Specialty for a week then see how the skills they are taught can translate to a civilian career if they decide not to pursue a 20 year career. The episodes include wheeled vehicle mechanic, medic, cook, forward observer, sapper, infantryman, military police etc. The program is a refreshing look at how professional and organized the Army is. The enthusiasm of the soldiers involved in Americas all volunteer Army is obvious. These are highly trained, productive and valuable people who perform missions. Its kinda like Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, but Army Jobs! If I was eligible to join the Army I would find the program extremely interesting as it gives a behind the scenes look into Army culture and life before you commit. Ricky Schroder Productions has produced an amazing project.
