All the miles have been marched and all the obstacles left behind. The recruits have arrived at Victory Forge, a three-day field outing in which they apply all that they have learned. This is the true and final test of the recruits’ skills and spirit-when they prove that they have what it takes to be a U.S. Army Soldier.

Looks like the have increased the amount of movement and tactical simulations

I remember my “victory forge” and FTX exercise limited sleep, getting bit to hell by FT Bennings famous fire ants, constant ambushes by Drill Sergeants leading other platoons, it was a punishing but rewarding experience. I remember the last Ruck March how it just sucked after no sleep, limited food and the feeling of finally knowing it was the last.

Want a cookie lol

No cookie needed SGT. I'm on a very strict diet.
