St. Paddy's Day Custom Challenge lived up to its expectation. Every challenge you learn something new about yourself and about other people. It was a pleasure to part of Class 934. Thank you everyone for everything. Everyone who made this challenge a success, from the planning (Ivan Carter and the crew), to the shadows and the Cadre.





Trying to attach a litter
A little bear crawling around the outdoor auditorium at Cumberland park. Broke into two groups Alpha and Bravo.  

Great picture of downtown Nashville



Refuel

Can never have to much water. Must carry what you do not use. Funny how everything always get used!

Pedestrian Bridge 
Alpha team made there out way to the Parthenon via the Pedestrian bridge. Had  to pay the toll of lunges. Had the privilege, nah the pleasure of the log. 


After Fountain Party

Getting ready to move, after our flutter kicks in the fountain near downtown.




Learning field trauma
Alpha and Bravo team met back up for a session on field trauma. Really cool tutorial and information on field trauma, kits and utility. M-A-R-C-H

Practice what you learned
The only true way to learn is to DO. So, we did!

Buddy carries
No event is complete with out carrying a friend. This is whats all about. Team work, coming together, and not letting the person next to you down.

To Slow

Gotta move much faster than that. Overall, the coolest, challenge I have completed. I got the opportunity to meet a bunch of new folks who are as crazy to pay to be tortured. The best aspect of the challenge was learning about field trauma. I hope that GoRuck continues to incorporate an applicable learning segment as such. They do a wonderful job instilling what it is about to be an AMERICAN!
