LDAC Family Day
I am surprised that the group didn't ask more questions. I thought more questions regarding what their seniors will be doing in AROTC this fall or what training is replacing LDAC.

Hey everyone - yeah, the question and answer session was pretty tame, no real new information to share(especially with the live stream) so didn't rush on here to post.
Had a great time with DS and his squad - we had 3 vehicles and took most of his squad off base for food and a movie. Great group of cadets! Two didn't go since one has shingles and one of the family members is pregnant so two stayed behind to roam around on post.
It appears the only thing for certain is no recondo and PT scores were all entered as 300 - to negate the score in OMS and yet give the end of camp commissionees a score of record to proceed. Last counceling now says the PT score will be an average of spring and fall last years record PT scores. But as with anything CC, that could change and everything else pretty much up in the air. This could be interesting
DS arrived safely at Ft. Sill last night and is enjoying a day off to recover(mostly sleep).
Hope further communication comes out of remaining Reg as they graduated and/or receive their phones.

DS reported to LDAC yesterday.
Last Friday he was texting with the Captain from his school that is working LDAC now and ask about the PT, STX lanes, and Land Nav. His Captains response was:
"You are going to be very frustrated with things here, just stay focused and do the best you can on what you get to do."
Good advice to everyone heading there.

Sounds great! Good to hear you're DS sounds like he is staying extremely positive and doing well, despite the situation surrounding LDAC!

Thanks Bull. LDAC may have been a mess, but his squad was awesome and they really bonded together to endure. This was so different from BCT where DS was very happy to leave - I think these cadets will stay in touch and support each other throughout MSIV year. Glad LDAC is over for him - no great accomplishments or awards, but the experience built a better future 2LT

Ohio2015Parent the bonding is nice to hear! Was there anything that your DS would have wanted at LDAC but might not have received in a care package?
Awards for LDAC
I hear the tick record is 37 on one cadet. Can anyone beat that?

With my son's luck, it was probably him, the kid is a bug magnet.
I have just received a letter from our DS in 7th Regt, the last one he wrote was a 5th grade project.
It would seem that baby wipes, deodorant, newspapers, and also being the tough bunch they are, Gummy Bears are all in high demand.
They have moved out of their tents and now reside in an aircraft hangar, lucky them.

Care Package
Thanks, my DS is also in 7th Regiment. Funny I was going to send Gummy Bears but I didn't think they could consume them in 20 minutes. My DS told me not to expect a letter so I appreciate the feedback!

Keep in mind that 7th and 8th Rgt. were told all mail should be sent NLT 7/10 if you want to make sure it is delivered before your cadet leaves Ft. Knox...They do not forward, and rarely return leftover mail...(Not sure how they get away with that, but it was true in BCT)...

Good Morning America had a story on Lyme disease yesterday...Although the subject of the story got the tick in Spain, it still was scary stuff. Especially tests that often give false positives, until it is too late for treatment, and of course strains that are resistant to antibiotics...
