Does anyone know if we will be able to PT on our own at CLC 2015? I can't seem to find anything and I don't want to get out of shape. Will there be a gym for cadets to use?

If it's like LDAC last year they didn't let anyone PT on their own for fear of heat issues. What, heat in the summer time at Fort Knox.............
There is no APFT at CLC, citing the heat and requiring schools to be more accountable when hosting their on-campus APFT's. Cadre are also saying that a majority (2/3 at least) of our training will be indoors due to the heat.
I'm not an overly Hooah type but for God's sake, these cadets signed up for the Army, not the Boy/Girl Scouts.
Everything about this is just so sad.
LTC had been at Ft. Knox for years and seemed to do just fine. I'm sure BOLC for Infantry, Armor, and other branches will make sure they move the majority of their training indoors over the summer months because of the heat.
I'm CLC 1st reg too! Should be fun to be the true guinea pigs of this thing.
Wait no longer evaluated? CLC does not impact OML?
Nope, the only thing that will effect the cadet's OML are the Standardized Tests that CC has decided to have them take while at CLC. None of the tests have anything to do with CLC.
No APFT, No graded Land Nav, No evaluated Patrolling Lanes, No S, E or N,s, No Top 5 or Recondo for extra points. CLC has no spot on the new OML and carries no points.
So when a cadet finishes their MS3 year, they are at where they're at, the only things left that will be added to their OML will be their Standardized test scores.
It's more important then ever that cadets take care of business at their battalion for the first 3 years, gone are the days when a cadet could help boost their standing by do very well at LDAC. I remember hearing of cadets in my son's battalion over the last seven years that would be toward the bottom of the battalion OML but get an E, Top 5, and Recondo at LDAC and move up the OML to make Active Duty and get a Branch they were happy with, that won't happen anymore.
Whether this is a change for the good or not, well only time will tell.[/QUOTE
