Charlie Rock Company Week 1 Good evening Charlie Company friends and family! I am Captain Bryan Buxser and I am the Company Commander for Charlie Rock Company, 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment (C/3-13 for short). We are pleased to have received your Soldier In Training (SIT) for this cycle. Your SIT is going through a program that will transform him or her from a civilian to a Soldier in 10 weeks. The Drill Sergeants here are the top 10% of their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and they are excited to train, mentor, and coach your SIT. This first week is always an adjustment for the SITs as they go through the various training events and physical fitness programs that we have established. This week, they have accomplished quite a bit: A structured Physical Readiness Training program, a 40 foot rapel tower that we call Victory Tower, and a Team Development Course. All of these events have challenged your SIT in multiple ways, all while learning the Army Values and Warrior Ethos. Next week they will train on how to navigate through the terrain using a map, compass, and a protractor. They will also go through our Mask Confidence Exercise which is more known as the gas chamber. We will also begin training individual skills at our first Field Exercise Training. We will continue to update you on what your SIT is doing in training, as well as post pictures of the training. I will ensure that all pictures and updates are posted no later than every Sunday by noon. Charlie Rock!
