But I guess it's called survival if all you eat all day is fruit you pick and grilled corn that you "borrowed" from the fields you passed by! LOL. I picked up important life skills like milking a cow, finding all the chicken eggs, and... climbing trees.

Over the course of three weeks we learned repelling ropes course, obstacle course, land navigation, water navigation and survival, jump tower, we fired m-16s and learned how to assemble and disassemble them, including how to do it by feel while blindfolded. I got to meet a lot of amazing people from different high schools that were also part of the JROTC program, some army, some air force, some navy, some marines and even some coast guard. Each morning we got up early for PT, showered, ate in the mess hall, and started whatever training session they had in store for us that day. I’ve learned how to get a team through water obstacles as well as land ones, ate MRE’s (meals ready to eat) under a tree for lunch trading chicken a la king for Spaghetti with meat sauce. Learned real fast never to try to eat the reconstituted hamburger, though how anyone could think soaking it for 30 minutes in water was going to make it palatable is beyond me. We had courses in first aid, including field training and how to turn parts of the uniforms and belts into a litter, we learned how to navigate in the dark. I have so many fond memories of being at camp and the one thing it taught me was that every problem had a solution if you were willing to work hard enough to find it.
