Patrolling, shooting, color guard, and even a ruck march at 0500. You name it , we've done it, IN ONE DAY!
The Cadet Rangers were up and at it early this morning, beating the sun as usual to conduct an 8-mile ruck march. They filled their ruck sacks with 35 pounds worth of gear, got dressed in full battle rattle to get more priceless training from their role model, SFC Tommy Sullivan. Their treat for their hard work, another chance to impress Lexington Legend fans with yet another color guard performance. As you already know, Forest Hill Station is the home of the minor league team's primary color guard for all home games. Next Saturday, the man his self will be throwing the opening pitch for the home game against the Hagerstown Suns.
In addition to that, our BCT-2 recruits got a chance to go to the shooting range today. The recruits took all the training they've recied from Major Campbell and SPC Elbakoush, the day prior. They used proper breathing techniques; and of course, used proper range safety precautions.
Last but certainly not least, CBLC. 2LT Stephens is a man on a mission. His mission? To turn a bunch of teens into competent Cadet Leaders. He's three days away from his goal, putting his 90+ pupils through some great field training along with the help of SSG Torres, SGT Haab, and SPC Quire. Tonight'll be the last night they'll spend in the field. Everyone out at Blue Licks State Park are excited about returning to the barracks, (including my two field photographers who will have a ton of pictures from all of the action). However, they're having the time of their lives.

I absolutely LOVE the color guard pictures!!! Thanks for all the pictures taken of our children and the words that tell their stories. Kudos to the photographers for their time and talent and true appreciation of all the instructors for the dedication they put toward the future generation.
