Alpha Company, 3-11 INF BN OCS Class 012-15

Just some humor to remind everyone of our struggle when we'd be out there in short sleeve shirts and shorts! & before you know it, we were laying on the ground...wet ground...oh yeah! ATTACK!

Meanwhile back in Army Officer Candidate School....shenanigans ensue. Happy Formal from Alpha "Attack" Company Class 012-15! "Tell them Shalosky sent you!"

For those coming to Ft. Benning for graduation and formal here is a bit of information about what you will need to do to get onto post http://www.benning.army.mil/gateinfo/

The OCs selected which branch of the Army they would join into and also phased up to Senior Phase, the final stage of their journey to become officers

Candidates checked off another grad requirment this past week after completing the CWST. Each candidate had to successfully attempt three events: 15m swim with an M16, jump into the pool blindfolded while maintaining hold of an M16, and an underwater equipment dump.

Alpha Co spent ten days in the field to put into practice the tactical and leadership skills they have been learning the past 7 weeks. Each candidate took on the role of Squad Leader and led their Squads in two unique missions. It was a long but rewarding ten days as Candidates learned to adjust and thrive in the field environment
