<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nI’ve been watching this video for the last few weeks and at first I thought maybe it was bogus, but I’ve been assured that it’s not. It’s a video of Captain Sarah Cudd finishing the 12-mile road march for her Expert Field Medical Badge test. It’s pretty painful to watch – especially from the perspective of the guy who ran the 3rd infantry Division’s Expert Infantry Badge testing for three years straight. I’ll admit that I get tired just driving twelve miles these days, but then it isn’t my job to be the physically magnificent specimen I was twenty years ago. If I was at the finish line when Captain Cudd crossed it, I would have figured that she hadn’t spent anytime training for the award she sought to earn.<\/p>\n
Even in mechanized infantry units we had to make this trek quarterly – not including the EIB testing. She had her reflective belt on, so I don’t see what the problem was for her. Doesn’t it give you guys superpowers?<\/p>\n
The media is all excited that she “refused to give up” – from an Army veterans’ perspective, she’d already given up when she didn’t bother to put in the requisite amount of training prior to the test. <\/p>\n
If I remember correctly, we held our twelve mile march in the morning, meaning that after the march, the soldiers still had an entire day of multiple tasks to perform without error. Captain Cudd looks like she’s ready to spend the day in the medics’ tent snoozing. <\/p>\n
