<p>Would some USAFA upperclassmen please tell me what events happen the second week at Jack’s Valley?</p>
<p>It depends on which squad, the whole time in Jack’s is basically spent doing the various courses and activities which include the Assault Course, Obstacle Course, Confidence Course, Self-Aid/Buddy Care (SABC), Leadership Reaction Course (LRC), Operation Warrior, and CATM (Combat Arms something).</p>
<p>CATM is Combat Arms Training and Maintenance.</p>
<p>thank you petko</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies but I was expecting more detail I know that there are 7 major stations/comittees. What I was trying to find out was how often do you do them and are some all day and other just half a day? Also how often do you eat MREs? Hot lunches in the Messhall waste training time. Thanks for your responses.</p>
<p>Webguy on the AOG website used to post the daily schedule out at Jack’s so you knew what each Basic squad was doing each day. The main courses (assault, obstacle, etc.) they run twice - it probably seems like “all day” when they’re on them. Rather than MREs I think they get prepared meals served in a tent facility.</p>
<p>Yikes, let’s see…</p>
<p>Courses: Assault, Obstacle, Confidence, SABC, CATM, LRC, Ops Warrior</p>
<p>I really don’t remember the MRE schedule, but you do eat those occasionally. Someone who went through it more recently than I did will have to clear that up.</p>
<p>I think we ate MREs at Ops Warrior and that is just about it. You get boxed lunches occasionally too like at the Airfield and CATM. They will have plenty of time to enjoy MREs next year during GE. :)</p>
<p>Meals served in the tent do not waste training time. Get in, eat, get out.</p>
<p>Most courses take about 3 hours, IIRC.</p>
<p>Plenty of time to enjoy MREs during CST, too… just don’t litter.</p>
<p>We ate 3 MRE’s during Jacks, i think.</p>
<p>Airmenship day is the best. Assault Course days are the worst</p>
<p>My personal opinion,</p>
<p>The good days- Airmanship day, LRC, CATM, Confidence Course</p>
<p>The alright days (parts suck, but overall not too bad)- Ops Warrior, Self Aid Buddy Care, Obstacle Course</p>
<p>The miserable days- Assault Course (death^2), Obstacle Course, LRC</p>
<p>I remember only 2 MREs during Jacks. Once after Ops Warrior, and again after Airmanship Day.</p>
