CFT at Camp Buckner

<p>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.</p>

<p>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</p>

<p>Traditions at West Point are so cool! </p>

<p>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.</p>
