WPAOG Parent Handbook 2022-23

28 DEVELOPING LEADERS OF CHARACTER Summer Training The academic year is complemented by an intense and progressive summer training program. Cadet Basic Training (CBT) and Cadet Field Training (CFT) are designed to prepare cadets for the physical demands of military service and combat environments. Summer training integrates miliary and physical training, providing Cadets repeated opportunities to apply principles learned during the academic year’s physical education curriculum. Beyond the Physical Program The Physical Program assists in the mission of developing commissioned leaders of character by providing a tough, realistic, and iterative set of developmental experiences. This 47-month experience begins on Reception Day when a New Cadet enters Cadet Basic Training and ends on Graduation Day when a cadet is commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. This developmental experience culminates with the emergence of graduates who Live Honorably, Lead Honorably and Demonstrate Excellence.
