Mountain Warfare Training tips and questions?
I have been given the opportunity to attend the Mountain Warfare school in Vermont in March. I have read the requirements and what is expected of you to know. As well as the requirements of physical fitness. I just wanted some advice from anyone that has gone. Anything from what to expect from rucking? knots? some tips out in the cold? anything?

Well, back from winter phase... got the ram's head and "E" ident.

Gotta say that, although the instruction was top notch and the ice climbing, snowshoeing, and culminating mountain walk were very cool, I'd have to say that winter phase is a TAD disappointing compared to summer phase. Not enough ass-kicking, if I can say so. Furthermore, we were in the middle of the January thaw, so no skiing at all

LOTS of QP's in the course. Good fellas - funnier than sh*t. Two in my squad were especially impressive - especially when one got some lip from a punk-ass cadet... message transmitted crystal clear... it was awesome. (if you are on here, "Dizzle", you know what I'm talking about )

still a good course if you can't pull the SO MTN course.

EDIT: WINTER PICTURES ADDED.
