Sapper School

[enceladus]

Has anyone here gone through Sapper School? The only discussion I could find here is from 2008.

My unit got me a seat for next Summer 2014 (plenty of time to prepare), and I'm looking for some guidance on the best ways to get ready/where to focus. I've looked at everything on the Fort Leonard Wood SLC website, but I'd like to hear some personal accounts as well.

My whole BN only has 2 tabs (both in my company) and they both went while ago---early/mid-2000s.

Thanks!

I was not a sapper but I watched the Discovery Channel on them. What was the show, Surviving The Cut. Made them sound all highspeed. I.D.K. Good luck though.

F.M.

Don't worry Sir, they were NOT talking about you.

I went through in 1998. It sucked but didn't suck that bad and imagine the basics are still the same with a GWOT twist thrown in the mix. Focus on infantry and engineering basics, field expedient demo, leadership, mountaineering, and physical fitness.
