Slightly Off Topic...

Just want to give a shout out to all that are competing in this event at Fort Benning this weekend.
Especially Team 40. My eldest son representing the 75th Ranger Regiment. Go Rangers!

Excellent!
I thank him for his service, and thanks to you for giving him good guidance for his direction in life.

Well said, 'hoof.
Yes, good luck to your son, Kendawg!

I know what it's like to be a proud dad... hell, just casual shooting in the desert with my son is always a priceless opportunity for fun and camaraderie.

Pass on my respect to your son for his service and his results. Makes me wish I was 20 again so I could try this competition.

Thanks to all for the comments. John finished 20th out of 50 teams. Just finishing AT ALL is quite a task. The first 24 hours saw 25 teams cut from the competition. Looking over the faces of the teams left standing, my son is a youngster at 26. The average age seems to be late 20's/early 30's. He made it, he's tired, and he would do it again in a heartbeat.
Check out the live stream link in the original post. The speech by the General at the end of the awards ceremony is quite inspiring.
