Johnson began CBT, which is one of the most challenging times for a cadet while at West Point, on July 2.

The initial military training program provides cadets with basic skills to instill discipline, pride, cohesion, confidence and a high sense of duty to prepare them for entry into the Corps of Cadets. Areas of summer instruction included first aid, mountaineering, hand grenades, rifle marksmanship and nuclear, biological, and chemical training.

Johnson is scheduled to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy in 2018 and will subsequently be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
