Black Hawk Basic - Day 1: JUNE 5, 2023
Today was a successful day at Black Hawk Basic! The incoming cadets learned about the Academics team and Uniforms, the Cyber Patriot team, the Drill/Color Guard teams and some simple facing movements, and the basic information involving the Air Rifle team and got the opportunity to shoot a rifle. I asked some incoming cadets about their experiences today, and this is what they had to say:
"I learned about the Cyber Program and the Competitions that they do. I learned about some of the Drill movements, and I learned how to shoot a Air Rifle. I really liked the Drill and shooting an Air Rifle."
- Campesi, Rachel
"We went over basics for Drill and they were trying to convince us to do Cyber Patriot. I really liked the rifle, they were teaching how to shooting the rifle; and Academics was going over the uniform and some basic knowledge."
-Rabickow, Thomas
"I learned that I want to do Drill. Drill and Color Guard were my favorite stations. I learned about a lot about "PARADE, REST" and that type of stuff."
