Camp Buckner 1999

Cadet Field Training, or Camp Buckner, is the 3rd class summer.   During this time we learned about most of the Army Branches, including Infantry, Field Artillery, Armor, Engineers and more.  We even took a week trip to Ft. Knox, KY for Mounted Maneuver Training.  Below are photos from the summer, mostly from Knox.
