This is something you will only find in some athletes and the American Warrior. I am motivated to see our professional Warriors pushing themselves beyond their means to accomplish something that a normal person would quit. This is the reason our Warriors are the best in the world hands down. I feel a spark of motivation right now just talking about it! Drive on Warrior! Great job!!!!!!

I just have one thing to say...
Hooah.
as for the comments and the comparisons being done... I guarantee you guys... *any* of you soldiers who might happen to be on the business end of a camera doing something people consider badass will ALSO become a *SOURCE OF INSPIRATION*. Thank you.

It was kind of embarrassing watching this with my son who wants to go to West Point. By the time you reach the rank of ncaptian you should know how to train for something like this. If this were a ruck march in basic training I would be impressed by it, but not coming from a Veteran soldier. Time to train a little harder and take the corse a little more serious.

Just for a frame of reference, this is how falling out of a hump in Marine Corps boot camp looks. No one cheering you on, making you feel good about your effort. Rifles hitting the deck, unacceptable.

75 to 80 % fail rate on average. I've seen Rangers and SF fail the course. It's a big deal.

I know the rigors of the EFMB testing. As an infantryman I have seen many fail just short of the finish line. Some to the point of having heat stroke. Im just saying this is just one example of a Soldier pushing through. It is expected that we all keep fighting even when our bodies are telling us no more.

I was doing my EIB for like the umpteen millionth time ...during the march I developed a nasty cramp in my shoulders that sent my head back and I couldnt see where I was going, the pain was nasty and I wound up grabbing a Cpl by his ruck and he brought me the last 4 miles, I had to be given a shot to relax me , was very thankful for the CPL showing up when he did .This was the 4th EIB for me, but the most memorable.

I don't think it was necessary to make such a big deal out of the fact that she finished a twelve mile road march. Good job on finishing it, now move on.
