Yes, cardinal21, I'm sure your little darling has a superior attitude and that this alone allowed them to have a better experience than all those other inferior cadets. That must be the only possible explanation for the discrepancy. It's not at all possible that different cadre, regiments, and quality of prior training could affect the experience at ALL.
FYI nofodad, I heard the exact same thing from 8 cadets who just finished.
I was discussing this thread with DD and she made comments to me about her first hand experience at CLC that I summarize below.
I was part of 5th Reg that graduated on the 20th. Yes, I agree that the experience differs for every cadet that attends CLC. These experiences vary based on the cadre assigned to each platoon. My father only heard stories about what my platoon experienced. Yes, nofodad's son more than likely had a completely different experience than mine. It is true that other platoons had some down time while some platoons did not. My platoon was not allowed downtime due to cadre decisions. If cadets were caught sleeping or not doing priority of works, then we were in trouble and often given an extra class. During field time, it was the same. Some platoons had more privileges than others. Some cadets in our platoon complained because they saw other platoons being allowed to do things we could not. However, most of us appreciated what our cadre did. Even if we were restricted more than others, our cadre did what they thought was best for our platoon. That principle applies to all cadets that attended CLC. It was ultimately up to cadre how cadets spent their time. As for cadets' attitudes, I believe we all tried to be positive about CLC. We all encouraged each other no matter what platoon or company you were in. CLC was a great learning experience. The ROTC Class of 2016 had to face a major change in cadet summer training. All cadets did great!
