Quoted: Not to be confused with Bill, or Jack, or Pete, or Dennis, My name is Mud, it's always been. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I found the lack of mud quite disappointing last year. Not to be confused with Bill, or Jack, or Pete, or Dennis, My name is Mud, it's always been. Can confirm, your the most boring sons-a-bitch I've ever seen... |

Depending on things (my back) I may be able to participate this year. If nothing else, I might provide an actual real life medical extraction exercise.

I'm glad so many folks have the luxury of traveling around the country.
Ben if you ever do something like this in Appalachian territory I'll likely be game. |

My spinal fusion and knee replacement tell me don't go. But my brain says DO IT!

View Quote Find a venue and I'll organize it. Ideally varied terrain (flats and hills, cliffs are a bonus) and at least 500 acres. We can do a lot with much less acreage, but not quite like Warfighter Challenge. |

I'd definitely do that. However, the wife and MIL will be on a cruise. Somebody has to be here to watch the cows, mules, horse, chickens, dogs, and cats.

Quoted: I mean, the first one was in October over Halloween weekend. The first day during setup had a dusting of snow, but had melted off during the actual event. The rain last year was bad enough to cause some pretty serious water entry into my scope. View Quote I set up camp in a lightning storm that was truly scary. I considered going into the cabin to wait it out but realized I wasn't really any safer there. Just try not to be the tallest thing. |

@S1W
Sir, if I could explain my response to your post at the top of this page. It was a play on the next line of lyrics of the song you posted lyrics of. No ill intent was meant by it & I probably shouldn't have modified the line so as to direct it at you. Sarcasm surely doesn't always read/sound as such when read in text. Wasn't sure if you construed it negatively, nevertheless, my apology... |

That song was actually on the radio when I first saw this thread and it was just too perfect. |

Quoted: My spinal fusion and knee replacement tell me don't go. But my brain says DO IT! View Quote Can you drive a truck (note it might not have heated steering wheel, in case that's a deal breaker), keep a list, run a radio, run a coffee maker, check people in at a turnaround, or do any of the other stuff that needs doing? Last year I was flat on my ass with covid, in back of my truck for most of the event. I still managed to get out and man a check-in point on the ruck. The world needs cooks just like it needs door kickers. Come out, join the fun. Or watch others suffer through the "fun" |

Quoted: Since I'm alternating staff and participant years, and I got cheated out of competing in 23, I'll make up for it by competing in 24. LOL "competing", sorry I misspelled "try not to die" View Quote @TNC Tomorrow's near death experience is just Ben's next SAR exercise. At least you'll be clipped in for the rope bridge at Warfighter |

If anyone is the southwestern U.S. wants to get together to do some prep for Warfighter (or just hang out, maybe do a ruck), I’m trying to organize something in AZ:
https://www.ar15.com/forums/hometown/Arizona/69-671580/ Will decide on timing depending on the location, likely at least one in January, more if there’s interest! |
