00:00.740 --> 00:02.851
the three 35th Signal Command Theater

00:02.851 --> 00:05.020
held its annual best wear competition

00:05.020 --> 00:07.353
the second week of March at Fort Gordon ?

00:07.440 --> 00:09.440
This three day competition included

00:09.440 --> 00:11.662
physical events like an early morning a

00:11.662 --> 00:13.829
PFT and a 10 kilometer road march with

00:13.829 --> 00:16.500
£35 in a pack and a weapon in tow and

00:16.500 --> 00:18.820
finally head to head combative where

00:18.820 --> 00:21.300
five minutes per match . A land

00:21.300 --> 00:23.530
navigation course was also physically

00:23.530 --> 00:25.363
and mentally challenging for six

00:25.363 --> 00:27.586
soldiers , divided by two categories of

00:27.586 --> 00:29.586
N . C . O . S . And specialists and

00:29.586 --> 00:31.880
below to complete the tests . All the

00:31.880 --> 00:33.936
soldiers participated in a Sergeants

00:33.936 --> 00:35.880
major board and a written test and

00:35.880 --> 00:38.650
several warrior training tasks . So

00:38.650 --> 00:40.650
what motivates these soldiers to go

00:40.650 --> 00:42.761
through this competition ? I'm a huge

00:42.761 --> 00:44.983
competitor and it's just , it's a great

00:44.983 --> 00:46.983
honor just to be a part of this and

00:46.983 --> 00:49.720
show my toughness against everyone else

00:49.720 --> 00:51.942
in the military . Tell us then from you

00:51.942 --> 00:54.100
would be the rock mark . I don't have

00:54.100 --> 00:56.100
any hills , anything I can simulate

00:56.100 --> 00:58.267
back at home . So we just put on extra

00:58.267 --> 01:00.720
weight and just start trucking . The

01:00.720 --> 01:02.831
winner of the best way of competition

01:02.831 --> 01:04.887
for the N . C . O . S . Was Sergeant

01:04.887 --> 01:06.942
Stanley Garastas . Ooh , part of the

01:06.942 --> 01:08.887
fourth Joint Support Communication

01:08.887 --> 01:11.140
element and Specialist Michael Swan of

01:11.140 --> 01:13.710
the 4/15 Chemical Brigade . The

01:13.710 --> 01:15.654
training is awesome and you know ,

01:15.654 --> 01:17.654
you're gonna be bigger , better and

01:17.654 --> 01:19.710
better . You know , at the end of it

01:19.710 --> 01:21.877
all . I think physical the competition

01:21.877 --> 01:23.932
pretty much brings your body out . I

01:23.932 --> 01:26.043
mean you got the rucksack marches and

01:26.043 --> 01:28.154
stuff and those are long and hard you

01:28.154 --> 01:30.321
get done . Things got nothing left and

01:30.340 --> 01:32.451
blew me right into a physical fitness

01:32.451 --> 01:35.470
combative that'll get you . But I think

01:35.470 --> 01:37.692
the toughest thing is the middle part ,

01:37.692 --> 01:39.859
you know , studying for all the boards

01:39.859 --> 01:43.030
and being up on your army info . Now

01:43.030 --> 01:45.086
these soldiers will go on to the use

01:45.086 --> 01:47.197
our best wear competition this summer

01:47.197 --> 01:49.080
at Fort McCoy Wisconsin . It's

01:49.080 --> 01:52.610
challenging but good . Um , definitely

01:52.610 --> 01:54.777
something to bring back to my unit and

01:54.777 --> 01:57.960
Alabama get better for next year .

01:58.640 --> 02:00.751
That's for sure . Reporting from Fort
