Recruit Training is designed to create basically trained Cadets, capable of performing drill and ceremony and implementing military customs and courtesies. As newly indoctrinated Cadet, they move on to the next phase of training and personal development. A few Cadets have gone home to relax and recuperate from 16 days of rigorous training, however, many will continue on to the Basic Leader Course, where they will gain practical knowledge in leading troops and field training exercises. Over the next year, all Cadets will work towards earning ribbons and awards for performance and volunteer service. They are rewarded for physical fitness, academic achievements, and will conduct Drug Demand Reduction presentations to their peers.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the great photos! We finally found one that included our son and are looking forward to more. We wish that we could have been there for the graduation to cheer on all the cadets. Please know how much we appreciate the dedication of so many committed volunteers.

ReplyDeleteIts been great seeing the photos of the new facility and what the new recruits have been doing. Thanks for the care and dedication you all give the cadets. Our son has been there for BLC since JULY 5TH. We are wondering when we will be able to see pictures of our BLC kids and what they have been doing, we are just alittle concerned because there hasn't been anything at all. We realize it is time consuming but, there hasn't been anything at all. Hopefully we can see some soon or please explain. Thanks again for all you do and glad the weather there has been beautiful, the facilities are beautiful too!
