PTT, now apparently called the PST (Physical Strength Test) is complete. Another great effort by our cadets but another closed course. We only had pictures of the start and finish.

5k complete. The team worked together well on a VERY tough 5k course. It was a closed course again so not too many pictures.

The Gauntlet is complete. We had another competitive effort. The team is rolling on!

There was no access to the course so we only got a couple of pictures on the12 foot wall and the finish.

5k is coming up next!
