Wow! Can you believe it has already been two weeks since we wrapped up SAAPM with the epic Combat Challenge!?! If you missed this event, let me say, you missed a seriously good time! We had 9 incredible teams competing in a wild race that kicked off with a tire flip (talk about a workout)! But the real brain buster? A 50-piece puzzle in the shape of a whale that left some teams scratching their heads. Once the puzzle was solved, they tagged their teammates who had to row 500 meters like Olympians! Next up, target practice with Orby guns. After hitting their targets, teams had to haul a hefty 200-pound dummy 10 yards to a gurney where they zig zagged around cones to the track, where they tagged their next teammate in the beginning of the 4x100 relay race! Well…except for the marines who had one guy run the whole track!! The excitement was palpable, and the fastest team took home the first pick of an incentive experience! A massive thank you to everyone who showed up to cheer on these amazing squadrons, your support made the event even more special! We can’t wait to do it all again next year, so mark your calendars and get ready for more fun and challenges! A special thank you to Col. Rosales and all the leadership teams who helped make this event a reality! And shout out to New Mexico Desert Sno and Lemon Shake Up for coming out to sell their goodies!
