00:01.144 --> 00:04.010
(country music)

00:04.010 --> 00:05.120
- [Airman] This isn't a competition

00:05.120 --> 00:06.480
where you can just roll into it

00:06.480 --> 00:08.180
and, you know, see how you preform.

00:08.180 --> 00:10.760
You need to prepare six
months, seven month,

00:10.760 --> 00:13.250
you know, a year in advance to really get

00:13.250 --> 00:15.850
ready for the intensity of
some of these challenges.

00:17.400 --> 00:21.020
Today we just complete the,
one of the final courses

00:21.020 --> 00:23.510
of the Texas Best Warrior Competition.

00:23.510 --> 00:25.000
That included a ruck march.

00:25.000 --> 00:27.975
I believe it was nine
miles through the woods,

00:27.975 --> 00:31.500
and before we began that,
we started with the swim,

00:31.500 --> 00:32.553
the confidence swim.

00:33.420 --> 00:34.693
We got out on the boats.

00:35.530 --> 00:37.223
They're inflatable rafts.

00:38.320 --> 00:40.300
You know, just engines,
bounced around a lot.

00:40.300 --> 00:42.540
A little bit of waves out there,
so you just gotta make sure

00:42.540 --> 00:44.600
that you hang on to that
you know raft, cause

00:44.600 --> 00:46.760
you fall fall off,
they're not gonna get you,

00:46.760 --> 00:48.370
you know, where you
fall is where you start

00:48.370 --> 00:50.780
and you're gonna be a
lot further out then,

00:50.780 --> 00:52.090
you know, when they tell you to bail.

00:52.090 --> 00:54.880
So they drove us around, took
us out a few hundred meters,

00:54.880 --> 00:57.310
dropped us in the water and
we went directly from there

00:57.310 --> 00:58.960
into the ruck marks.

00:58.960 --> 01:00.430
So, I mean, you know,
you get outta that water

01:00.430 --> 01:01.920
its forty degrees outside.

01:01.920 --> 01:04.264
You're cold, you're sore, you're tired,

01:04.264 --> 01:07.650
and I mean, you just gotta
ruck up and go from there.

01:07.650 --> 01:09.560
I'm going to Texas Tech University.

01:09.560 --> 01:10.400
It's, you know,

01:10.400 --> 01:13.430
involves kinda balancing
your school schedule,

01:13.430 --> 01:14.890
your work schedule, things like that.

01:14.890 --> 01:17.090
But, you know, if that's
something you're able to do,

01:17.090 --> 01:19.940
then this is definitely
competition you should look into.
