An awesome experience
Yesterday was a sad, yet exiting moment here on Forest Hill Station, as we saw the graduation of our first batch of freshly made Cadets. They've worked hard for two weeks straight; they've been pushed to their limits; and they've accomplished things they thought were impossible.
Friday marked the end of training with the last group of BCT-1 recruits successfully completing the Rappel Tower. Forest Hill Station was open for Retreat and Parents' night a little later on that evening.
Parents were allowed on base that evening around 1800 hours (6:00 p.m.), and both Cadets and recruits were extremely excited, anxious to show their parents their favorite role model, as well as what they've learn over the past two weeks.
The next day was the day they've worked so hard and long for... Graduation!! Our Troop Handlers marched the brand new Cadets in front of the reviewing stand where they officially became Cadets of the U.S Army Cadet Corps!
CONGRATULATIONS CADETS...WE'RE ALL PROUD OF YOU!

One of the proudest moments for me as a dad was seeing what my son accomplished in the two weeks of BCT. With out a doubt, the best money we have spent on our son. Congratulations to a camp that can be very proud of the affect they have on our youth.
