A video for the #USArmy 500th Military Intelligence Brigade Theater. Soldier of the Quarter Competition 20201. Congratulations to all the competitors.
The grueling competition that drew upon each competitors physical and mental prowess combined #weapons proficiency, land navigation, squad tactics, drill and ceremony, a 12-mile ruck march, an obstacle course, and a formal board.
The toughest aspect of the competition were the back to back, no notice, physical events that did not provide ample time to recover.
Spc. Zain Shaito, who won Soldier of the Quarter, from the Headquarters, 111th #Military Intelligence Bde., agreed with Russell.
"The hardest aspect of competing in this competition is the back to back events with no real room for recovery."
For Staff Sgt. William Smithe, who won NCO of the Quarter, from the 344th Military Intelligence Bn. located at Goodfellow Air Force Base in Texas, said the elevation of Fort Huachuca made the competition more difficult.
"I will be training with an elevation mask, back in Texas, before I return to compete in the NCO of the Year competition next year."
All three competitors said that the mental aspects of the competition were just as challenging as the physical aspects.
