For the last several months, CNN has followed the path of a young man from his small town to his coming of age in the U.S. military. Today, in the sixth part of a soldier's story, we check in at a very pivotal point of his young military career, a weigh station that could well lead to war.




CNN's Jason Carroll joining us now with a closer look. I mean, we don't often get chances to follow somebody for such a long period of time. Have you watched him grow up?




JASON CARROLL, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: I have. I've watched him grow, watched him change in just a short period of time. It's been fascinating to watch his transition. You know, what we want to do now is show you what happens to a private once the training wraps up. What happens? Where do they go next? Will McLain and the others are about to find out.




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Go, go, go, go, get down faster.




CARROLL (voice-over): Urban warfare 1 training.




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hey, what your shooting at?




CARROLL: One of a series of crucial exercises soldiers like will McLain undergo at Ft. Lindenwold Missouri to become army combat engineers. Learning how to secure buildings and hostile regions is key.




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Come on son. Get in the fight.




CARROLL: Nearly 13 weeks into his training, Will is beginning to learn how to become a leader.




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Brother is coming out.


UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Go, go, go go.




CARROLL: But on this day, it's hard for all of them to stay on top of their game.




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get from behind this corner, son. You can't shoot around corners. You're not superman.




CARROLL: Why is this day a distraction 2?




UNIDENTIFIED MALE: One. Go, go.




CARROLL: Now that Will has completed basic and is wrapping up specialized 3 training, he and the others will get orders for their first station. It's where the army will send new soldiers for more training before many are deployed 4 to Afghanistan or Iraq.




(on camera): We're actually talking to Will now before he's actually gotten his orders. How are you feeling about that?




WILL MCLAIN, U.S. ARMY RECRUIT: It's kind of like I'm anxious to see what I'm going to get because I know of so many places.
