Welcome to the day in review for zero-day at Valley Forge Military College mini camp. Today was exciting and busy as we kicked off our training program. We started the day with in-processing, Haircuts, and initial gear issue. We then introduced the candidates to their drill sergeants for the week.
After that, we conducted the Initial Army height and weight assessment, which is an integral part of ensuring that soldiers are physically fit to serve. Next, we moved on to drill and ceremony training, where the candidates learned the basics of marching and following commands.
Finally, we ended the day with a basic introduction to land navigation, a crucial skill for any soldier. Overall, it was a productive and challenging day, and we're proud of all the hard work and dedication that everyone put in. We're excited to continue our training tomorrow and build on the skills we learned today. Thank you for being so committed to this program, and we'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning!
