Training is heating up on Forest Hill Station.

"START LOADING YOUR RUCKS ON THE TRAILERS"; that was the cry of the day for CBLC as they prepare for a two night field training exercise (FTX) in Blue Licks State Park. Between now and Wednesday, there will be plenty of training, airsoft, and PICTURES, as CBLC cadets prepare for the end of their training.

However, let's not give all the attention to our CBLC cadets. Although Saturday marked the end of Cadet Ranger Challenge, Cadet Ranger School is up and rolling, and SFC Sullivan is super excited. Today he took his seven Cadet Ranger Students to Blue Licks State Park Pool. There he taught them a few lessons in Combat Water Survival, as well as a few Life Guarding tips.

As for our BCT 2 Recruits. Every day they're learning something new. Today, they've went through Basic Rifle Marksmanship class to get them ready for the firing range tomorrow. Their favorite part of everyday of course is Canteen, as you can see from the pictures, that's where the laughter is prevalent, and smiling is definitely contagious. Even our battle-hardened Troop Handlers can't resist having fun during canteen!
