Eric spent last week training for his Expert Infantryman's Badge and the testing was held this week. This meant two weeks of early mornings and late nights. The testing included an Army PFT, Land Navigation, a 12-mile ruck march in 3 hours or less, and infantry specific knowledge tests. The final event was the 12-mile march this morning, for which Eric had to get up at 3 am. The rest of us got to sleep in and attend the award ceremony at 9:30. While Eric will downplay the effort involved in earning this badge, out of 480 soldiers attempting to earn it, only 106 completed the requirements.
