"The Basic Encampment is an intense week filled with hours of drill and ceremony, customs and courtesies, and hard work. Most cadets find that participation requires self-discipline, stamina, and old fashioned “true grit” as they try to please the seemingly never satisfied first sergeant. They have very little down time, and their schedules are strictly regimented so that they can complete all the required basic training in a one week period. However, when they have successfully completed the week, they all know that they have accomplished more than just training. Every one of them was pushed past their comfort zone, sometimes several times a day. Every one of them was required to find that little bit of extra strength to get through the next task when they were pushed to their limits. They can look back on their success at finishing the basic encampment and know that the week made them a stronger person both in body and spirit and equipped them to be better able to face future hurdles." - 1Lt. Ruth Peterson, PAO LCCS
