A day that starts before sunrise and ends with a roll call.
Life at Butibori follows a fixed routine. Cadets learn to manage time, keep their kit in order and work in teams long before anyone tests them for it.
A weekday
Every hour has a job.
Mornings belong to PT and drill. The working day belongs to the classroom. Evenings mix games and training with supervised study, so revision happens every day.
The routine also gives parents certainty about where their child is at any hour.
