COT:
Coming off the GTE this past weekend, I wanted to share with Skid Murse about the event and specifically the most emotional and inspiring moment of the weekend for me. It was of course the log carry. I was in Blue Platoon and the log evolution was a terrible struggle. I was under the log for awhile, then with a sandbag, switching like this for sometime. Occasionally I had a break with no weight. The log beat us down pretty quickly and the cadre took two of our three sandbags away. Spellcheck was platoon leader. He gave me a break from the log and I got the remaining sandbag and the flag to carry for the rest of the evolution. The remainder of the the platoon (18 guys) were under the log. We inched on, and the cadre told us we had 1.2 miles to the destination. Then a few minutes later, like angels descending, Red Platoon with their red headlamps began pouring down onto Neyland Drive and rescued Blue from our burden. I get choked up thinking about it. Red Platoon had already finished their log carry and was given the choice to come back for us or not. They didn’t hesitate to come back for their brothers. Red perfectly demonstrated the F3 Credo “Leave no man behind, and leave no man where you find him.” It was awesome!
