Hell on Earth, home to most of the survival camps.
Let's start from the top. The water isn't clean, so don't drink it. The eggs are made of some sort of dust, so don't consume those either. The staff cadets take all your stuff at the beginning of your term, and if you smuggle your phone in somehow, there's no cellular service or wifi. Lastly, washing is much less frequent, so be ready to suffer. Also, there are tales of horror on the parade square.
SWO: Cadet, you'll be going to Blackdown for basic survival.
Cadet: Oh come on! I filed for a transfer! Please, don't make me go to BLACKDOWN!
SWO: Sorry, but this is final. Get on the bus.
Hell on earth.
Even though it's a CTC, you sleep in tents, and they got flooded by rain at least once this summer alone.
The water is NOT clean, consider yourself lucky if you get cholera because that's the least of what's in the water.
Food is nasty, chicken is undercooked, meat always ends up in the "vegetarian" options. If you eat it, you'll probably get paralytic rabies or pneumonic plague.
Unfortunately the only CTC that runs pipe band courses now.
TL;DR Shit accommodations, shit food, non-potable water
TrgO: You're going to Blackdown for Pipe Band Musician.
Cadet: Can't I go to Rocky? They have a huge P&D legacy.
TrgO: Nope, it's only at Blackdown now.
Cadet: God I hope I don't die of dysentery.
Whenever you hear the words blackdown family you must stop and drink from your canteen
BOILEAU "blackdown family how are we doing?"
CADETS *drinks water "good sir!"
