Country singer Craig Morgan opened up about balancing his music career and serving his country after reenlisting in the U.S. Army Reserve.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Morgan, 58, said being a soldier is often easier than his singing career.

“Well, that’s easy for me because I spent 18, almost 18 years of my life in it. So my mental capacity in that arena has never changed. In fact, that’s easier for me than this music stuff most of the time,” he said.

He continued, “There’s a term ‘once a soldier, always a soldier.’ For me, I have never quit being a soldier, even though I was no longer actually serving in the capacity of a service member on duty. In my head, I’ve always been a soldier and I always will be.”

The “God, Family, and Country” crooner also shared how he felt about being part of the U.S. Army Reserve.

“I’m proud, I’m honored, and I’m humbled to be a part of what I think is some of the greatest Americans in our country,” he stated.

Furthermore, Morgan noted that “less than 1% of the people in this nation” are currently serving in the military.

“And I say this every night upstate – less than 1% of the people in our nation serve in this military and right now, recruiting is worse than it’s ever been. So, we’re going to do everything we can to try to encourage people to serve our country and to understand that it’s not about self, and it’s not even really about government,” he added.

Morgan spoke about the magnitude of joining the Army, which he said was “so much bigger than yourself.”

“There’s a sense of pride and humility, two words that are very seldom able to coincide. And I tell people all the time, I think the military is one of the few places where that takes place,” he explained.

Morgan said in serving his country, it is possible to be humble and proud at the same time.

“It’s a different kind of pride, not an arrogant pride. It’s a sense, a sense of humility, and I’m humbled beyond words to be able to be a part of that again,” he said.
