Helicopter Rappel

12-mile Road March.  Notice the soldiers (who've completed the march) in the front leaning rest position getting smoked by the instructors for being arrogant enough to finish.  This happened to me and and (then A1C, now Capt) Matt Hoose, an Air Force ROMAD from Shaw.  We ran the whole 12 miles  together, and came across the line screaming "Air Force", instead of "Air Assault", as instructed.  OWWIE!  They killed us.  But it was worth it, and I'd do it again :)....
