Squads must work together to complete a modified combat fitness test, otherwise known as Mission Boston in honor of the 82nd Airborne Division’s nighttime parachute landing on D-Day in Normandy. This was the final event in the Lambka Challenge, which also included a shuttle run, pull ups, Humvee push, tire flip, low crawl, litter and buddy carry. The Lambka Challenge was the culminating team-building exercise at the end of the first iteration of Cadet Basic Training for the new cadets of the Class of 2017. The challenge, July 19, was named in honor of 1st Lt. Todd Lambka, a Class of 2010 graduate and infantry officer who was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan. The Lambka Challenge was designed by the cadet cadre to test new cadets on their physical and mental development from the past three weeks of CBT on a sprawling course throughout West Point.

New cadets at Range 5 conduct a squad-focused live fire exercise. The Hyde Challenge tested the new cadet regiment on all their Cadet Basic Training skills in a squad-level competition Aug. 5-7. New cadets and their squad leaders were evaluated on individual and squad ability to shoot, move, communicate, survive and conduct nighttime operations. Among the tasks in this fully-tactical field environments, new cadets were tested on weapons assembly and functions checks; Soldier First Responder medical skills; land navigation; react to improvised explosive device scenario; and a marksmanship course. The final maneuver for the squads was a hike up Mine Torne Mountain to the location where a memorial for fallen comrades was erected. The Hyde Challenge is named in honor of 1st Lt. Daniel Hyde, a Class of 2007 graduate, who was killed in action March 7, 2009, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

My husband and I recently started a little LEGO contest to improve our building skills. Alternately each one of us sets a theme and both of us have to build a corresponding model.
I started with "bathtub/shower".

Inspired by this work by syngola: www.flickr.com/photos/syngola/222809922/ - some of the rhombi have been substituted with triangle twists. This alteration to Peter's design makes the pattern somewhat less regular, but creates a flagstone pattern of triangles and regular hexagons on other side. The substitution of triangles can be done in various ways, I've chosen to do some of the hex twists surrounded entirely by triangles, reminiscent of the original "ouros" - www.flickr.com/photos/origamijoel/220120838/

The final event to the Steele Challenge, Aug. 9-10, for the Class of 2016 was the inauspicious sounding problem-solving site. New cadets encountered a scenario where their squad leader was rendered unconscious in an attack and they were left to navigate their own way to the finish line. It would require teamwork and ingenuity to race the clock and by devising a plan to get across Lake Popolopen in a Zodiac raft with all their equipment and no paddles. Most squads chose to swim the raft across which proved slower than those who decided to hand paddle, though the swim was decidedly a cooler choice after a long day of activity. Once across, the new cadets had to figure out the best way to get the raft, the equipment and their squad leader down the road, several hundred feet, to the finish line. The raft itself weighed over 300-pounds, and adding additional burden to it had many squads struggling under the weight. However, racing each component separately proved to be the best option, of course, with several variances applicable. Squad leaders had one or two new cadets providing the escort to the end, but lane evaluators said height differentials and weight distribution made two-man carries harder than having just one cadet carry the squad leader.Photo by Mike Strasser/USMA PAO

You have to wonder these days what new cadets consider to be “fun.” That was the word many from the Class of 2018 used to describe the Zilinski Challenge Aug. 10 at Camp Buckner.
Squads were tested on physical strength and endurance throughout the challenge while graded on several soldier skills they’ve learned during Cadet Basic Training, like donning and sealing a protective mask, land navigation, assembling the radio and calling in for medical evacuation.
Somewhat a departure from previous Buckner challenges that used Zodiacs to get squads around a short course on Lake Popolopen, this time the squad had to low crawl across the beach and head first into the cold, murky water.
They also low crawled and swung through two obstacles at Marne, and completed three others at the Anzio Obstacle Course.
Perhaps the fun was at the Buckner Parade Field where legs buckled and bodies crumbled after a series of physical challenges. First, the Humvee push—about 300-400 meters across concrete and grass, assumably the best of both worlds. Then, imagine all that was left of the vehicle was one, huge tire. The squad had to push that back and forth another sizeable distance. Pushups, buddy carries, flutter kicks and pullups would follow before they were tested on assembling a swiss seat for rappelling.
