[PPCLI MCpl]

Does anyone know the Top Runner, Top Master and Major Unit standings from this year?

 

[CallOfDuty]

  Hey, I was just reading in the east coast Navy newsletter that we have a couple of sailors competing this year.  Good luck to everyone!
      On a side note......Does the military pay for transportation to and from the mountain man competition, if they aren't from the area?

 

[Gunner98]

Individual home units will pay travel and TD for participants.

I have a Crap load of photo's, not just of the 2 VP guys, when I get time Ill post them to my photobucket account in case you know someone who was in the race or were actually in it...there might be a photo there.   ;D

Yeah yeah, 2VP did something right for a change. I guess with being posted to Shilo, you have lots of time to train as there is nothing else to do...

Anyhoo, we'll get that trophy back next year. I guess we just got complacent having it for what is it now 6 years running?

Ouch!  Be nice my Ric-a-dam-doo maroon brother.    And we took gold in 2002 as well, even with several winning members having come off Op Apollo, so that's no excuse. 

 

[GO!!!]

<sigh>

Yeah, well, good luck next year, I'll be trying to get my time under six hrs, for a shot at the title in 2012 or so! It's a good thing we have a strong team to make me feel better!

And keep your chin up! Write enough memos and you too can come to the third  !!

 

[MJP]

It seems the field for Mountain man has really gotten faster....When I ran in 2001, I was in 40th at the sandbags.  This year with roughly the same time, I was in 170th.  There were more people this year by about 50 but still it semed like a fast field.

Good Job to 2VP....

 

[Springroll]

Some very nice pictures...

Congrats to all that entered and  :-* to the winners!

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Flatery will get you no were GO!!!
As for the winner of the Ainsworth Dyer Award, he wasn't training all the time as he was on tasking with me at WATC and he ended up missing quite a lot of days.

 

[RossF]

We were on our SQ field ex. when WATC was out training.. Every time we'd challenge one of you guys at night if you happened to pass through we'd get WATC!!! yelled at us..good times..

 

[PPCLI MCpl]

???

Good times indeed.  Anyway, can anyone tell me the name of the overall winner?  It would be most appreciated.

I'm on leave at the moment and having trouble getting in touch with the boys back in Pet, but I'm planning on making the trip back to see a buddy compete.

Thanks
