On a chilly, foggy Saturday morning, Officer Candidates from class 6622 begin filing out of their barracks at 0430 to form ranks in the school parking lot. They are preparing for inspection and to board vans that will take them to the Greenbelt Trail system in downtown Boise where they will begin a 9-mile ruck march to commemorate the solemn 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States.
Idaho Army National Guard Officer Candidates along with instructors and staff from the 204th Regional Training Institute commemorated the 9/11 anniversary this past week with a nine-mile ruck march through the City of Boise along a portion of the 30-mile Boise Greenbelt Trail system. The popular Greenbelt Trail system meanders along both shorelines of the Boise River that flows through central Boise and connects the city’s riverside parks with neighboring municipalities.
OCS candidates carried a 35 lb ruck and a replica weapon commonly referred to as a “rubber duck” as they marched to the end of their course at Julia Davis Park in Boise. Following the March, candidates and staff travelled a short distance to the Idaho Fallen Firefighters Memorial Park where they listened to Special Forces Veteran Dan Nelson speak on the qualities of leadership.
