RECRUITS IN TRAINING

"WAKE UP RECRUITS!" That was the cry heard across Forest Hill Station, Millersburg, KY. Troop Handlers were up, much earlier than most human beings, eager to share their knowledge with our new recruits!

Around 5:45 A.M. Our recruits and Cadets were on a PT field, while the bulk of the community were still deep in sleep. Our experienced Army Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), assisted our recruits as they conducted a Physical Fitness Diagnostic (which consisted of a minute of push ups, situps, and a 1 mile run). All of our recruits finished their 1 mile run in under 12 minutes, which was historic!

The day also consisted of intense Drill and Ceremony (D&C), and classes on Customs and Courtesies. There is still much more training to be done, and everyone here at Forest Hill Station is excited about getting this summer started.

So keep in tuned with the blog for day-to-day action!
