Will we have a female team this year? Rhetorical. Nah! Too many witnesses.

I was just going to ask something similar. Maybe they can get a mixed pairs team so they don't feel left out.

I've been watching the live feed from the competition off and on today. Just saw the first team to cross the finish line on the road march. Team 1, from the 1st Infantry Division, appeared to be the winners so far. I believe one of their team members also placed in the top 3 the last two years, but I could be mistaken. It appears the total distance was 18 miles, and they started around 2000 hours. Team 1 crossed around 2320 hours, so they made pretty good time.
Either way, congrats to those still in it and fighting on to the Ranger objective. Only 2 days to go!

I caught the last little bit of the livestream for the final buddy run. The 1st ID team killed it speed wise. Too bad they were too far out points wise for it to do any good. I think it was a 4 point or so difference going into the final buddy run between 1st and 2nd places.

Good job for all of them, GRITS knows my sorry ass wouldn't have made it that far in the competition. :lol:
