Over the weekend I was at Fort Knox. I was there to take part in our ROTC spring training. It was a challenging yet fun time and I was able to meet so many people from other schools around Illinois. Schools like Loyola, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Northwestern, and Depaul were all with us at Knox. It did suck having to eat MREs for most days in the field but after eating the first it's pretty easy to eat the rest. I had a great time bonding with a lot of people and being able to take part in the different events that were held.
I scaled a 500ft rappel tower and completed an obstacle course during one of the days. The other day we searched for landmarks around the area during the day and night as a team and that was a very fun experience. The next day we did tactical movements and planning which was super interesting. The only downside was that one day we had to sleep outside overnight and I picked up a cold. But, overall the training was an incredible experience.
