CFT at Camp Buckner

This article was written last year, but should give a good idea of some of what the rising yuks will be doing this summer. CFT (Cadet Field Training) started this past Saturday and will last 4 weeks.

actually this summer, there will be no OHW, which is the basis of that article.......instead they have shortened buckner to four weeks (from the previous 6-7 weeks and have taken out the 2nd detail simulated deployment. In its place, DMI allowed rising yuks to go to MDSs (airborne, aaslt etc) and has instituted a new training event before firstie year called CLDT i think. The new training will be a roughly three week cycle and will involve rotating leadership positions trying to tackle many of the same obstacles previously seen during buckner II

Traditions at West Point are so cool!

Runback was last Saturday and one of our wonderful 2011 parents got it on video. The high points are at 10:00 minutes, 16:20 minutes and 22:00. Watch to the end as one of the yuks was awarded the Army Achievement Medal for exceptionally meritorious service for performing first aid on an injured cadet at Fort Knox.

Video of CFT 2008 - Company 8

Gives a really great overall look at the things that our rising yuks did during CFT this summer. The tank training was conducted at Fort Knox, KY.
