Basic cadets from #USAFA2029 have completed their March Back from Jacks Valley, officially conquering the second phase of Basic Cadet Training. 🪖
 
Over two weeks, our basics faced challenges that forged the mindset of tomorrow’s #WarfightersToWin:
⏰ Early mornings 
📆 Long days focused on the mission
💪 Physical and mental challenges
🤝 Team-based tasks
 
Their return to the Hill is more than symbolic. It reflects a renewed commitment to service and marks a visible milestone on their journey to commissioning into the usairforce and spaceforcedod. ✈️🛰️
