Wiki Assessment

 Well I graduated class 02-09, I would rate it at 97% correct.

 The history is there and to my knowledge correct.  They break each phase of the school down into the basic schedule of what the students go through on a week to week basis.  The basic over view of everything is there but some of the numbers from my experience there do not match up it claims rucksacks at 65-90lbs during mountains we had a minimum of 100lbs and up to 127 at the highest, we had access to a scale before the field training exercise ( FTX) began.  They also claim an avg of 3.5 hours of sleep which is correct but it does not explain while on FTX students at most are allowed 2hours and while in garrison during school time they receive 3/5 hours.   Wikipedia does not do a good job at explaining that it is a school and the things that you are required to complete are taught there it’s a school primarily for combat MOS people so it helps to have a base line of the types of missions the students will be required but each phase you are taught everything they ask you to do in the FTX.  They do not mention the difference in classes based on the time of year you attend the course.  The agenda's and tasks each student must complete are the same however the time of year based on the weather heavily influence the challenge of the course based on what you need to be prepared for and what as far as health you have to be concerned with for example in the winter you have to be aware of hypothermia as well as heat casualties and in the summer you have to be concerned with heat casualties and insects like brown recluse spiders.  Regardless the wiki is over all very accurate for a base line of information about the course.
