In May 1988, at the age of 20, McVeigh enlisted in the United States Army and attended Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training at the [[United States Army Infantry School|U.S. Army Infantry School]] at [[Fort Benning]], Georgia. While in the military, McVeigh used much of his spare time to read about firearms, [[Sniper#Tactics|sniper tactics]], and explosives. McVeigh was reprimanded by the military for purchasing a "[[White Power]]" T-shirt at a [[Ku Klux Klan]] rally where they were objecting to black servicemen who wore "[[Black Power]]" T-shirts around a military installation (primarily Army). His future co-conspirator [[Terry Nichols]] was his platoon guide. He and Nichols quickly got along with their similar backgrounds as well as their views in gun collecting and survivalism. The two were later stationed together at Fort Riley in Junction City, Kansas, where they met and became friends with their future accomplice, Michael Fortier.
McVeigh was a top-scoring gunner with the [[M242 Bushmaster|25mm cannon]] of the [[Bradley Fighting Vehicle|Bradley Fighting Vehicles]] used by the [[1st Infantry Division (United States)|1st Infantry Division]] and was promoted to sergeant. After being promoted, McVeigh earned a reputation for assigning undesirable work to black servicemen and using racial slurs. He was stationed at [[Fort Riley]], [[Kansas]], before being deployed on [[Operation Desert Storm]].
In an interview before his execution, McVeigh said that he hit an Iraqi tank more than 500 yards away on his first day in the war and then the Iraqis surrendered. He also decapitated an Iraqi soldier with cannon fire from 1,100 yards away. He said he was later shocked to see [[Highway of Death|carnage on the road]] while leaving [[Kuwait City]] after U.S. troops routed the Iraqi Army. McVeigh received several service awards, including the [[Bronze Star Medal]]<ref>{{서적 인용|title=Lone-Actor Terrorists: A behavioural analysis|last1=Gill|first1=Paul|date=2015|publisher=[[Routledge]]|page=141|isbn=9781317660163}}</ref> [[National Defense Service Medal]],<ref name="jacobs">{{웹 인용|url=http://www.tulsaworld.com/archives/the-radicalization-of-timothy-mcveigh/article_49b91161-74c7-538f-8183-e5f957f45aa1.html|title=The Radicalization Of Timothy McVeigh|last=Jacobs|first=Sally|date=June 10, 1995|publisher=tulsaworld.com|access-date=November 18, 2014}}</ref> [[Southwest Asia Service Medal]],<ref name="willman">{{웹 인용|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1995-04-28/news/mn-59919_1_material-witness/4|title=Investigators Believe Bombing Was the Work of 4 or 5 People: Terrorism: Father, son are under scrutiny.

McVeigh aspired to join the [[United States Army Special Forces]] (SF). After returning from the [[Gulf War]], he entered the selection program, but withdrew on the second day of the 21-day assessment and selection course for the Special Forces, telling other recruits that he had injured an ankle. However, in a letter to his superiors, McVeigh wrote that he was not "physically ready". McVeigh decided to leave the Army and was [[Honorable discharge|honorably discharged]] in 1991.
