Study the material provided (you should have been given information on what to prepare for). Try to practice with one of your NCOS.

Study and be on you toes, everyone in the competition does, and get your uniform ready.
Something that most competitors didn't know when asked in the 82nd;
If they ask you where is the Division Truck, your answer, "On the top of the Division Flag Pole."
If they ask you what is at the base of that flag pole, "Three rounds, 45acp, 30cal, and 50cal."
If asked which way are the rounds pointing, "North."
If asked why, "Because it points in the direction where the USA had never been attacked from by any enemy."
In other words, be ready for anything.
Have a great time, Salute!

Airborne All The Way brother. When I say Airborne to an old man and he says yes I say All The Way Brother and he gets a grin make your day.
Dude you were definitely at Bragg and yes rounds were there flag pole across from JFK Center for Military Assistance and what I was assured of so we would never be out of ammo...

Always had ammo, that's why they always had us out there on the range, shooting at old tanks. Maybe, we didn't have anything to do. Lol
