Hey Al, thanks for posting that here. Sounds like quite the ordeal. Made me tired just reading it. What stamina. Once again let's here it for our engineers.Here's to the winners and all the partipants. My helmet off to you sirs!
I went to the Sapper Leader Course back in 1987. It is a tough school with a very high attrition rate. The best Sapper competition is several steps above the actual course. VERY VERY demanding!
