THIS RIGHT HERE. Times a million.

Great match. Joe and crew did a helluva job turning up the wick. Rucks were twice as tough as last year, from reports from buddies in the other ETM squads the pace was up too. The stages were damned near perfect with the tweaks made from last year, I can't imagine them doing a better job. This...

Last year we shot on the golf course but the weather was far from "golf course" weather. It dropped to 20 at night, just ask the guys who stayed up all night next to the burn barrel and/or dropped.

Last year I carried my gun (AR-15) and my pack weighed in at just over 20lbs. For some reason this year I'm at just under 50 with no water :-( Subtracting the gun weight and ammo difference I still have a ton in their more than last year... Oh, and that doesn't include the Jack Daniels....

Thanks man, I've reread it a couple of times recently as well, gets me pumped up. We have different goals this year focusing more on shooting performance than PT. Of course we want to move well but we are in much better shape after spending the year doing ruck events and improving fitness. That...

#3 gives equal duties unless you have both teammates shoot at the precision targets.

Any chance for a .308 shooter to do any good?

Very little chatter leading up to this event. Surprising for sure! Is there anyone else out there who's pumped up?? All .mil guys this year who don't post on forums?? I hope my squad isn't this quiet, I'm in for fun a good times and nothing spells fun and good times to me more than living in...

And rear bags, can't have enough of those. They can be used to hold the corners if your tent down too. 10-15 large ones would really have you "kitted out"

Well, instead of rucking and eating well here in Ohio visiting the outlaws for Christmas, I've sat on my ass and eaten junk food for a week. At least maybe the extra fat layer will insulate me better on those sub-freezing nights.

I'm not an investigator or even a smart guy but when the stage descriptions start with "The Shooter will" or "The Team will" I feel certain which ones will be ETM or TM versus Open division.

No shit. I'm trying to fight it... 5 mile ruck last night was harder than it shoulda been

Wow So where do you guys put this post? I don't remember seeing a "completely off-topic and not related to the OP's question but wanted to post anyway and say AMU."

I had a Brunton charger for my phone. Never had to use it, it's amazing how little these things draw with the radios turned off. Here is where I got the report on the attrition rate...
