Obstacle Course - First Wave

Sgt. John Cleary was out taking photos of the first wave of Recruits, and a few during the wave I covered yesterday as he filmed some great video footage. I can't show you the film, but check out the photos:

Reporting for Training

Report to the National Cadet Training Center not earlier than 1300 and not later than (NLT) 1600 on Receiving Days. Summer 2014 dates and course will be announced shortly.

Uniforms
U.S. Army Cadet Corps and U.S. Army personnel are to travel and report in wearing the USAC Polo Shirt and khaki slacks, and upon arrival, change into the Army Cadet Combat Uniform (ACUs). Please refrain from traveling in the ACU uniform.

Recruits in the Military Adventure Camp program are to wear the USAC Polo Shirt and khaki slacks, with belt. If they do not have a USAC polo, a plain black polo will be suitable until a replacement can be purchased.

Meals
Be sure to have eaten lunch prior to your arrival. Lunch will not be available in the Dining Facility (DFAC) for reporting personnel. Supper will be served to all assigned personnel.

Processing
Personnel arriving should plan on not less than three hours for processing, due to the large influx of trainees. All others should plan on not less than two hours.

Forest Hill Station will be open from 1800-2200 (6 pm to 10 pm) on the Friday evening before graduation days for Family Night. Both ACES (the Army Cadet Exchange Service) and the DFAC (Dining Facility) will be open to the public.
